Thermodynamics internal energy equation

In these equations pt is the mass density (g. cm.-3) of the fth chemical species, fc is the rate of production of the fth chemical species by chemical reaction (g. cm.-3 sec.-1), and Fi is the external body force per unit mass acting on the ith species. The velocity v is the local mass average velocity (that velocity measured by a Pitot tube), p is the over-all density of the fluid, and U is the local thermodynamic internal energy (per unit mass) of the mixture. The j, are the fluxes of the various chemical species in g. cm.-2 sec.-1 with respect to the local mass average velocity, v. It should be noted that 2j, = 0, 2/c,- = 0, and = p these relations are used in deriving the over-all equation of continuity [Eq. (4)] by adding up the individual equations of continuity given in Eq. (24). 

The thermal energy of a gas, which we have referred to before, can be equated with the thermodynamic internal energy, that is, E — Eq. First, let us calculate the expectation value... 

For many engineering applications it is convenient to reformulate the equation of internal energy in terms of enthalpy or fluid temperature and heat capacity. To be able to transform the internal energy equation into a suitable form we need to apply some important thermodynamic relations which are discussed step by step in the following paragraphs. 

Equation (3.16) shows that the force required to stretch a sample can be broken into two contributions one that measures how the enthalpy of the sample changes with elongation and one which measures the same effect on entropy. The pressure of a system also reflects two parallel contributions, except that the coefficients are associated with volume changes. It will help to pursue the analogy with a gas a bit further. The internal energy of an ideal gas is independent of volume The molecules are noninteracting so it makes no difference how far apart they are. Therefore, for an ideal gas (3U/3V)j = 0 and the thermodynamic equation of state becomes... 

Apphed to a closed system which undergoes only an internal energy change, the first law of thermodynamics is given by equation 1 ... 

Hea.t Ca.pa.cities. The heat capacities of real gases are functions of temperature and pressure, and this functionaHty must be known to calculate other thermodynamic properties such as internal energy and enthalpy. The heat capacity in the ideal-gas state is different for each gas. Constant pressure heat capacities, (U, for the ideal-gas state are independent of pressure and depend only on temperature. An accurate temperature correlation is often an empirical equation of the form ... 

The work done by an expanding fluid is defined as the difference in internal energy between the fluid s initial and final states. Most thermodynamic tables and graphs do not presentbut only h, p, v, T (the absolute temperature), and s (the specific entropy). Therefore, u must be calculated with the following equation ... 

When thermodynamic tables are used, read the enthalpy hf, volume Vj, and entropy Sf of the saturated liquid at ambient pressure, po, interpolating if necessary. In the same way, read these values (hg, Vg, Sg) for the saturated vapor state at ambient pressure. Then use the following equation to calculate the specific internal energy... 

Chemical reaction equilibrium calculations are structured around another thermodynamic term called tlie free energy. Tliis so-callcd free energy G is a property that also cannot be defined easily without sonic basic grounding in tlicmiodynamics. However, no such attempt is made here, and the interested reader is directed to tlie literature. " Note that free energy has the same units as entlialpy and internal energy and may be on a mole or total mass basis. Some key equations and information is provided below. 

It is important to understand that critical behavior can only exist in the thermodynamic limit that is, only in the limit as the size of the system N —> = oo. Were we to examine the analytical behavior of any observables (internal energy, specific heat, etc) for a finite system, we would generally find no evidence of any phase transitions. Since, on physical grounds, we expect the free energy to be proportional to the size of the system, we can compute the free energy per site f H, T) (compare to equation 7.3)... 

It has been shown that the thermodynamic foundations of plasticity may be considered within the framework of the continuum mechanics of materials with memory. A nonlinear material with memory is defined by a system of constitutive equations in which some state functions such as the stress tension or the internal energy, the heat flux, etc., are determined as functionals of a function which represents the time history of the local configuration of a material particle. 

In Chapter 1 we described the fundamental thermodynamic properties internal energy U and entropy S. They are the subjects of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. These laws not only provide the mathematical relationships we need to calculate changes in U, S, H,A, and G, but also allow us to predict spontaneity and the point of equilibrium in a chemical process. The mathematical relationships provided by the laws are numerous, and we want to move ahead now to develop these equations.1... 

In Chapter 2 we used the laws of thermodynamics to write equations that relate internal energy and entropy to heat and work. 

Statistical thermodynamics provides the relationships that we need in order to bridge this gap between the macro and the micro. Our most important application will involve the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of the ideal gas, but we will also apply the techniques to solids. The procedure will involve calculating U — Uo, the internal energy above zero Kelvin, from the energy of the individual molecules. Enthalpy differences and heat capacities are then easily calculated from the internal energy. Boltzmann s equation... 

The model [39] was developed using three assumptions the conformers are in thermodynamic equilibrium, the peak intensities of the T-shaped and linear features are proportional to the populations of the T-shaped and linear ground-state conformers, and the internal energy of the complexes is adequately represented by the monomer rotational temperature. By using these assumptions, the temperature dependence of the ratio of the intensities of the features were equated to the ratio of the quantum mechanical partition functions for the T-shaped and linear conformers (Eq. (7) of Ref. [39]). The ratio of the He l Cl T-shaped linear intensity ratios were observed to decay single exponentially. Fits of the decays yielded an approximate ground-state binding... 

According to the first law of thermodynamics the heat Q absorbed by the system may be equated to the change in internal energy plus the work W done by the system... 

As before, dH is interpreted as the increase in total internal energy of the thermodynamic system, 0 = kT and /, must represent actual forces acting on the real system. Equation (26) is then seen to be the exact analogue of the basic equation (1) of chemical thermodynamics [118]... 

In general, dw is written in the form (intensive variable)-d(extensive variable) or as a product of a force times a displacement of some kind. Several types of work terms may be involved in a single thermodynamic system, and electrical, mechanical, magnetic and gravitational fields are of special importance in certain applications of materials. A number of types of work that may be involved in a thermodynamic system are summed up in Table 1.1. The last column gives the form of work in the equation for the internal energy. 

Following from Equation (3.3), we say that internal energy is a state function. A more formal definition of state function is, A thermodynamic property (such as internal energy) that depends only on the present state of the system, and is independent of its previous history . In other words, a state function depends only on those variables that define the current state of the system, such as how much material is present, whether it is a solid, liquid or gas, etc. 

Recall, as well, that e is the sum of the sensible internal energy plus the internal energy of formation. Equation (5.39) is the one to be solved in order to obtain P2, and hence ux. However, it is more convenient to solve this expression on a molar basis, because the available thermodynamic data and stoichiometric equations are in molar terms. 

In Chapter 3, we defined a new function, the internal energy U, and noted that it is a thermodynamic property that is, dU is an exact differential. As Q was defined in Equation (3.12) as equal to At/ when no work is done, the heat exchanged in a constant-volume process in which only PdV work is done is also independent of the path. For example, in a given chemical reaction carried out in a closed vessel of fixed volume, the heat absorbed (or evolved) depends only on the nature and condition of the initial reactants and of the final products it does not depend on the mechanism by which the reaction occurs. Therefore, if a catalyst speeds up the reaction by changing the mechanism, it does not affect the heat exchange accompanying the reaction. 

Biochemical reactions are basically the same as other chemical organic reactions with their thermodynamic and mechanistic characteristics, but they have the enzyme stage. Laws of thermodynamics, standard energy status and standard free energy change, reduction-oxidation (redox) and electrochemical potential equations are applicable to these reactions. Enzymes catalyse reactions and induce them to be much faster . Enzymes are classified by international... 

The first law of thermodynamics simply says that energy cannot be created or destroyed. With respect to a chemical system, the internal energy changes if energy flows into or out of the system as heat is applied and/or if work is done on or by the system. The work referred to in this case is the PV work defined earlier, and it simply means that the system expands or contracts. The first law of thermodynamics can be modified for processes that take place under constant pressure conditions. Because reactions are generally carried out in open systems in which the pressure is constant, these conditions are of greater interest than constant volume processes. Under constant pressure conditions Equation 3 can be rewritten as... 

The internal energy per unit mass e is an intensive (state) function. Enthalpy h, a compound thermodynamic function defined by Equation 1.8, is also an intensive function. 

Consider next the energy equation, neglecting kinetic and gravitational-potential energy. Here the extensive variable is the internal energy of the gas E and the intensive variable is the specific internal energy e. The first law of thermodynamics provides the system energy balance...
