Thermodynamics thermal energy

Temperature becomes a quantity definable either in terms of macroscopic thermodynamic quantities, such as heat and work, or, with equal validity and identical results, in terms of a quantity, which characterized the energy distribution among the particles in a system. With this understanding of the concept of temperature, it is possible to explain how heat (thermal energy) flows from one body to another.

To reach W = 1 and S = 0, we must remove as much of this vibrational motion as possible. Recall that temperature is a measure of the amount of thermal energy in a sample, which for a solid is the energy of the atoms or molecules vibrating in their cages. Thermal energy reaches a minimum when T = 0 K. At this temperature, there is only one way to describe the system, so — 1 and — 0. This is formulated as the third law of thermodynamics, which states that a pure, perfect crystal at 0 K has zero entropy. We can state the third law as an equation, Equation perfect crystal T=0 K) 0... 

An essential issue concerns the size down to which the laws of classical thermodynamics apply. A simplified answer is that macroscopic thermodynamics is applicable as long as the splitting 8 between the electronic energy levels is less than the thermal energy (see Section 15.2.2) ...

Incident solar energy is absorbed by the surface water of the oceans. Ocean surface temperatures in excess of 26°C occur near the equator. Pure water has a maximum density at a temperature of 4°C. The chilled water tends to settle to the depths of the ocean. The combination of the warmed ocean surface water and cold deep ocean water provides the thermodynamic condition needed to operate a heat engine called ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). A typical closed-cycle OTEC Rankine cycle using a working fluid such as ammonia or a freon is suggested. 

A thermodynamic quantity, symbolized by H, and equal to U + PV, where U is the thermal energy, P is pressure, and V is volume. If the pressure is constant and no other work is done other than P AV work, then the increase in enthalpy is equal to the heat absorbed at constant pressure (A// = qp). If API < 0, the process is regarded as exothermic if AH > 0, the process is regarded as endothermic. See also Innate Thermodynamic Quantities...
