Namely, A and B are equilibrium with each other. This process defines temperature. Thermal equilibrium Thermal equilibrium is not uniformity of heat, but there is not heat flows between systems. 40 degrees 80 degrees The heat flows from higher to lower temperatures. 60 degrees 60 degrees The heat flow is diminished and the temperature is stabilized: Thermal equilibrium Latent heat 1 When a substance transforms into a different phase, the heat flows between the phases without change of the temperature. The heat that plays this role is known as latent heat. Latent heat 2 When ice melts, the heat is absorbed by 80 cal per gram. That is why ice can keep things refrigerated. When water is vaporized, the heat radiates 540 cal per gram. When sweat dries out, the surface of your skin is significantly cooled down. First law of thermodynamics The internal energy of a system transforms into heat flows. As a system, the internal energy and heat flow are conserved. Q2 Q1 |QT – Q1| = |Q2 – QT| QT Second law of thermodynamics In an isolated system, the entropy cannot decrease. Energy and substances are diffused. The work done by heat cannot generate the same amount of internal energy. Entropy 1 Entropy id defined as the change of the heat energy divided by the absolute temperature. The process of heat flow entails the increase of entropy The entropy after the heat flow is larger. Q S T Q2 T2 < 40 degrees T2 Q1 T1 80 degrees < T1 Entropy 2 When vapor becomes water by cooling, it looks like the entropy decreases. This is because it is an open system. In terms of the larger system, the entropy increases by the heat radiation. radiation absorption Water Vapor Third law of thermodynamics As the temperature approaches zero, the entropy also approaches zero at thermodynamic equilibrium. In principle, it is impossible to reach absolute zero. Steam engines This was started from the transformation of energy sources. [Wood Coal] People needed innovation of technology to utilize coals effectively. T. Savery, T. Newcomen, and J. Watt developed steam engines with energy from coals. [The end of 17 to the middle of 18 centuries] Newcomen’s engine 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Burn the coals. Boil the water. The steam raise the pressure of the cylinder to lift the piston. Feed water into the cylinder. Then it pulls down the piston by lowering pressure. piston cylinder Water feeding drainage water Watt’s engine 2. 3. 4. 5. Burn the coals. Boil the water. The steam raise the pressure of the cylinder to lift the piston. The steam goes down into the condenser and it is cooled down to become water. Then it pulls down the piston by lowering pressure. piston cylinder condenser 1. cooling water water Work and energy Work = force distance Kinetic energy = 1/2massspeed2 Gravitational potential energy = massgrav.accel.height You can find other energy, such as wind, water flows, chemical reactions, etc. These are exchangeable each other. Energy Work First law of thermodynamics revisited (Energy conservation) In a system, sum of all the work and energy is constant. They compensate each other; for example, more force with less distance, and less force with more distance to move an object. Without having energy from outside, the system cannot continue to work. Entropy and work Entropy increases at the direction of the thermal processes. Work capability can be associated with the entropy. Energy / substances as a different form Energy sources Work / Motion Intake Lower entropy Large capability to work Exhaust Increasing entropy Higher entropy Small capability to work Heat as energy The heat created from electricity is: Q=RI2t where Q, R, I and t are heat, resistance, current and time. Heat itself is energy: E = kT where k and T are Boltzmann const. and temperature. 1 calorie = 4.19 joules Carnot cycle 1 The low grade heat source plays an important role. All the given heat cannot be used only for the work because the engine is stopped. Part of the given heat is absorbed into the law grade heat source. The heat source gives heat to engine. High grade heat source The inside engine is expanded. The internal energy flows into the lower heat source. Low grade heat source The inside engine shrinks. Carnot cycle 2 This is a reversible system. (repeatable) The efficiency is given only by T0 and T1. This system includes the direction of the heat flow.

Other biological systems play very important roles to keep various equilibria on the earth. Environments need to have margins to neutralize exhausted products to manage entire ecology. Water as an important factor in environment 1 Water is harder to be heated up and harder to be cooled down. (= high specific heat: 4186 J/kg K) This provides a stable environment on the earth. Water as an important factor in environment 2 Rain fall as cooled down vapor Water vaporization The vaporized water becomes lighter to go up. Then, it gets cooled there and falls as rain or snow. Due to the latent heat and radiation, this process Remove excess heat from the earth. Heat radiation Bio-system and its cycle The system is based upon sun shine and water. Plants produce carbohydrates (sugars) to feed animals. Animals’ excretory substances are degraded by bacteria. The substances degraded by bacteria are used for plants. This process repeats. Heat death of the universe 1 If the entropy keeps on increasing, every system will become equilibrium, which is called heat death. However, an open system exchanges lower and higher entropies. Entropy keeps increasing in a closed system. Heat death of the universe 2 In the universe, the entropies flow as in the structure: Universe The direction of lower entropies Environmental activities (engines) The direction of higher entropies Ecological systems 1 Biological creatures inhabit 10 km (6.21 miles) from the surface of the earth. Plants produce carbohydrates by photosynthesis. Animals consume them and excrete as in a different substances. Bacteria and fungi biodegrade the substances and carcasses for plants. Ecological systems 2 Bacteria play an important role for the cycle. especially for the circulation of nitrate Bacteria (biodegrading detritus) Animals (consuming plants and other animals) Detritus (carcasses and dead leaves, etc.) Organic substances Inorganic substances Plants (producing carbohydrates and proteins) Ecological systems 3 Bacteria biodegrade carbons and nitrides in detritus into CO2 (carbon dioxide), NH4+ (ammonium ion), and NO3- (nitrate ion). Amount of CO2 crated by bacteria is exactly the same amount consumed by plants. One gram of soil contains about 1 billion of bacteria (1 million kinds).* * Computational improvements reveal great bacterial diversity and high metal toxicity in soil. J. Gans, et al. Science, 309, 1387-1390 (2005) Photosynthesis 1 A simple description of photosynthesis: O2 Sun light CH 2 O CH2O is the product from photosynthesis. Breathing: CH2O + O2 CO2 + H2O CO2 Photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O CH2O + O2 Water Inorganic substances Insects fungi bacteria Photosynthesis 2 The carbohydrate produced by photosynthesis is glucose, C6H12O6. 6CO2 + 12H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O Many of glucose get bonded to become starch. Starch is multiple glucose missing water: (C6H10O5)n Photosynthesis 3 The entropy of carbon atoms seems decreased by photosynthesis, but the entropy of the larger system is surely increasing. How? Remember that vaporization of water makes the entropy increased. Photosynthesis 4 The actual chemical reaction of photosynthesis is: 6CO2+6H2O+6H2O C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O for photosynthesis liquid vapor The H2O of right hand side radiates heat due to the latent heat. (The increase of entropy) Entropy and photosynthesis To produce glucose by photosynthesis, it needs sufficient water not only for the chemical reaction but also for the “exit” of entropy. It is said that the imbalance of the entropycirculation system may cause desertification or other malfunctioning of plant systems. Water on the earth 1 Specific gravity (S.G.) In general, most of S.G. of substances become larger (i.e. heavier) when they are refrigerated, but water is different. Water has S.G., 1.0 when it is at 4 degrees of Celsius. (the heaviest) Temperature of water, Tw. Tw=0 S.G.=0.999; Tw=50 S.G.=0.988; Tw=100 S.G.=0.958. The S.G. of ice is 0.917. Water on the earth 2 The S.G. of water does not depend on the temperatures significantly. The S.G. of ice is smaller than the liquid phase of water; therefore, the ice can float. This makes water circulate faster and more easily; thus, it has generated variety of biological species.
