Introduction
• Thermodynamics - science that
deals with energy, matter, and the
laws governing their interaction
– general: all engineering systems
involve energy and matter
– fundamental: based upon primitive
concepts (two primary laws)
– employs a unique vocabulary based
upon precise definitions
– initially, it appears formal and abstract,
but its significance and application will
eventually be seen

Introduction, cont.
• Classical Thermodynamics macroscopic approach that deals
with large systems, e.g., engines,
power plants, refrigerators, etc.;
studied and used by engineers
• Statistical Thermodynamics microscopic approach that deals with
the structure and properties of matter
on an atomic/molecular level;
studied and used by physicists and
chemists

Primary Laws of
Thermodynamics
• First Law of Thermodynamics quantitative conservation of energy
principle; energy cannot be created
nor destroyed
• Second Law of Thermodynamics places qualitative restrictions on
energy-related processes, e.g.,
direction of heat transfer, maximum
performance of power plants

Basic Thermodynamic
Definitions
• System - quantity of matter or
region of space chosen for study
• Surroundings - mass or region
outside of system
• Boundary - real or imaginary
surface that separates system from
surroundings
• Closed System (Control Mass) - a
fixed quantity of mass that can only
experience energy transfer (no mass
can enter or leave); an isolated
system is a special case where no
mass or energy transfer is allowed
ME152

Basic Thermodynamic
Definitions, cont.
• Control Volume (Open System) region of space that can experience
both energy and mass transfer across
its boundary
• Property - a characteristic of a
system that can be defined without
knowledge of the system’s history
• Extensive Property - property that
is dependent on system size
• Intensive Property - property that is
independent of system size
ME152

Basic Thermodynamic
Definitions, cont.
• State - a condition of a system that is
fully described by properties
• Equilibrium - a state where there are
no imbalances due to mechanical,
thermal, chemical, or phase effects
• State Postulate - gives the number of
properties needed to fix the state of a
system
• Simple Compressible System - a
system where external force fields are
negligible (i.e., electrical, magnetic,
gravitational, motion, and surface
tension effects)
ME152
10
Basic Thermodynamic
Definitions, cont.
• Process - a change that a system
undergoes from one equilibrium
state to another; the sequence of
states through which the system
passes is called the process path
• Quasi-equilibrium Process - a
sufficiently slow process that allows
the system to remain infinitesimally
close to equilibrium
• Cycle - a sequence of processes that
returns the system to its initial state
ME152
11
Basic Thermodynamic
Definitions, cont.
• Isothermal Process - a process
where temperature remains constant
• Isobaric Process - a process where
pressure remains constant
• Isochoric Process - a process where
volume or density remains constant
• Steady-Flow Process - a control
volume process where all properties
at a fixed point remain constant with
respect to time

Energy
• Energy is an extensive property of a
system; it is the capacity to do work
or cause change
–

–
can be stored
can be transferred
can be transformed
is always conserved
• Types of Energy
– mechanical, kinetic, potential, thermal,
electric, magnetic, chemical, nuclear,
latent, et al.
ME152
14
Energy, cont.
• Macroscopic energy - forms of
energy that a system possesses as a
whole w.r.t. some external reference
frame, e.g., kinetic and potential
energies
• Microscopic energy - forms of
energy related to the molecular and
atomic structure of a system; the sum
of all microscopic forms of energy is
known as internal energy (U)
ME152
15
Energy, cont.
• System energy can be stored as
– Kinetic energy, KE = ½mV2
e.g., throwing a ball
– Gravitational potential energy, PE = mgz
e.g., raising a dumbbell
– Internal energy, U = ?
e.g., heating the air in a room
• In the absence of electric, magnetic,
and surface tension effects, the total
energy (E) of a system is
E = U + KE + PE
ME152
16
Energy, cont.
• Energy can be only be transferred
across a system boundary by
– work interactions, due to a force acting
through some distance
– heat transfer, due to a temperature
difference
– mass flow, due to fluid flow into or out
of a control volume
• Energy can be transformed in many
ways, e.g.,
–
–
–
–
chemical-electrical (battery)
electrical-thermal (resistor)
potential-kinetic (dropping a rock)
nuclear-thermal (nuclear reactor)

1 pascal (Pa) = 1 N/m2
1 kPa = 103 N/m2
1 bar = 105 N/m2
1 MPa = 106 N/m2
1 atm = 101.325 kPa
= 14.696 lbf/in2 (psi)

Pressure, cont.
• Absolute pressure - total pressure
experienced by a fluid
• Gage pressure or vacuum pressuredifference between absolute pressure
and atmospheric pressure (usually
indicated by a measuring device):
Pgage = Pabs - Patm
Pvac = Patm - Pabs
ME152
20
Pressure, cont.
• Pressure variation with depth:
P  Patm  gh
• Pascal’s principle: a force applied to
a confined fluid increases the
pressure throughout by the same
amount; since F = PA, mechanical
advantage can be developed
ME152
21
Pressure Measurement
• Manometer – gravimetric device based
upon liquid level deflection in a tube
• Bourdon tube – elliptical cross-section
tube coil that straightens under under
influence of gas pressure
• Mercury barometer – evacuated glass
tube with open end submerged in
mercury to measure atmospheric
pressure
• Pressure transducer – converts
pressure to electrical signal; i) flexible
diaphragm w/strain gage ii) piezoelectric quartz crystal
ME152
22
The U-tube Manometer
• Simple, accurate device for measuring
small to moderate pressure differences
• Rules of manometry:
– pressure change across a fluid column of
height h is gh
– pressure increases in the direction of
gravity
– two points at the same elevation in a
continuous static fluid have the same
pressure (Pascal’s law)
ME152
23
Temperature
• Temperature (ºC or K)
– measure of a body’s “hotness” or
“coldness”
– indicative of a body’s internal energy
– used to determine when a system is in
thermal equilibrium, i.e., when all
points have the same temperature
– see zeroth law of thermodynamics,
section 1-9
– unit conversions:
K = ºC + 273.15
R = ºF + 459.67
ºF = 1.8 ºC + 32

Temperature Measurement
• Constant-P liquid-in-glass – utilizes volume
change of mercury or alcohol in a tube
• Constant-V gas – utilizes pressure change of
hydrogen or helium
• Bimetallic strip – utilizes differential CTE of
adjoined dissimilar metals
• Thermistor, RTD – utilizes electrical
resistance of metals and semiconductors
• Thermocouple - utilizes voltage produced
from dissimilar metal junctions
• Optical pyrometer – utilizes infrared emission
spectrum
