BasicConceptsofThermodynamicsEverysciencehasitsownuniquevocabularyassociatedwithit.Precisedefinitionofbasicconcepts formsasound foundation fordevelopmentofascienceandpreventspossiblemisunderstandings.Carefulstudyoftheseconceptsisessentialforagoodunderstandingoftopicsinthermodynamics.ThermodynamicsandEnergyThermodynamicscanbedefinedas thestudyofenergy,energytransformationsand itsrelationtomatter.Theanalysisofthermalsystemsisachievedthroughtheapplicationofthe governing conservation equations, namely Conservation of Mass, Conservation ofEnergy (1st lawof thermodynamics), the2nd lawof thermodynamicsand thepropertyrelations.Energycanbeviewedastheabilitytocausechanges.First law of thermodynamics: one of the most fundamental laws of nature is theconservationofenergyprinciple. It simplystates thatduringan interaction,energycanchangefromoneformtoanotherbutthetotalamountofenergyremainsconstant.Second law of thermodynamics: energy has quality as well as quantity, and actualprocessesoccurinthedirectionofdecreasingqualityofenergy.Whenever there is an interaction between energy and matter, thermodynamics isinvolved. Some examples include heating and airconditioning systems, refrigerators,waterheaters,etc.DimensionsandUnitsAny physical quantity can be characterized by dimensions. The arbitrary magnitudesassignedtothedimensionsarecalledunits.Therearetwotypesofdimensions,primaryorfundamentalandsecondaryorderiveddimensions.Primarydimensionsare:mass,m;length,L;time,t;temperature,TSecondarydimensionsaretheonesthatcanbederivedfromprimarydimensionssuchas:velocity(m/s2),pressure(Pa=kg/m.s2).TherearetwounitsystemscurrentlyavailableSI(InternationalSystem)andUSCS(UnitedStatesCustomarySystem)orEnglishsystem.We,however,willuseSIunitsexclusivelyinthiscourse.TheSIunitsarebasedondecimal relationshipbetweenunits.TheprefixesusedtoexpressthemultiplesofthevariousunitsarelistedinTable11.

Thesumof translational,vibrational,androtationalenergiesofmolecules is thekinetic energy of molecules, and it is also called the sensible energy. At highertemperatures,systemwillhavehighersensibleenergy.

Internalenergyassociatedwith thephaseofa system iscalled latentheat.Theintermolecularforcesarestrongestinsolidsandweakestingases.

The internal energy associated with the atomic bonds in a molecule is calledchemicalorbondenergy. The tremendousamountofenergyassociatedwith thebondswithinthenucleolusofatomitselfiscalledatomicenergy.

PropertiesofaSystemAny characteristic of a system is called a property. In classical thermodynamics, thesubstanceisassumedtobeacontinuum,homogenousmatterwithnomicroscopicholes.Thisassumptionholdsaslongasthevolumes,andlengthscalesarelargewithrespecttotheintermolecularspacing.Intensiveproperties:arethosethatareindependentofthesize(mass)ofasystem,suchastemperature,pressure,anddensity.Theyarenotadditive.Extensive properties: values that are dependant on size of the system such asmass,volume,andtotalenergyU.Theyareadditive.

Generally,uppercaselettersareusedtodenoteextensiveproperties(exceptmassm), and lower case letters are used for intensive properties (except pressure P,temperatureT).

Extensive properties per unit mass are called specific properties, e.g. specificvolume(v=V/m).
