Thermodynamics & Statistical Mechanics
c©2004-2020 G. Anderson Thermal Physics – slide 4 / 64
Thermal Physics = Thermodynamics + Statistical Mechanics.
Thermal physics deals with large (& 1023) number of particles.
Thermodynamics: Describes the relationship betweenmacroscopic, observable properties of bulk materials,e.g., T, P, V, . . . without microscopic assumptions.Applications: engineering, earth science, chemistry, . . . .
Statistical Mechanics: The microscopic physicsunderneath thermodynamics: Quantum mechanics ofparticles combined with the laws of statistics.Applications: solid state physics, astrophysics,chemistry, cosmology, . . . .

Temperature & Equilibrium
c©2004-2020 G. Anderson Thermal Physics – slide 5 / 64
Temperature:a measure of the tendency of an object to spontaneously give upenergy to its surroundings. When two objects are in thermalcontact, the one that spontaneously loses energy is at a highertemperature.
Thermal equilibrium:A state in which all parts of a system are at the same temperature.In thermal equilibrium, two objects placed in thermal contact donot exchange net heat energy.
Relaxation time:Time to come to thermal equilibrium, aka, the time scale for thesystem to settle down so that macroscopic properties are constantin time. Examples:
• Soda or other beverage you place in the refrigerator.
• Thermometer placed in your mouth.

Laws of Thermodynamics
c©2004-2020 G. Anderson Thermal Physics – slide 6 / 64
Zeroth Law: If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with athird system, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
First Law (Conservation of Energy):
dU = d Q+ dW
Second Law: No process is possible whose sole result is thecomplete conversion of heat into work. The entropy of a thermallyisolated system never decreases:
dS ≥ 0
Third Law:limT→0
S(T ) = 0

Intensive vs. Extensive Variables
c©2004-2020 G. Anderson Thermal Physics – slide 7 / 64
Intensive Variables: Local variables, e.g., pressure,density, temperature.
Extensive Variables: Proportional to the size of thesystem, e.g., volume, mass, number of particles,entropy, length.
Intensive Extensive / Extensive
energy density = energy / volumecharge density = charge / volumemass density = mass / volumespecific heat capacity = heat capacity / masspressure = force / area

Mole
c©2004-2020 G. Anderson Thermal Physics – slide 14 / 64
A Mole “mol” is the SI unit for a macroscopic amount ofa substance.
• A mole of a substance contains Avogadro’s number ofparticles.
NA = 6.022× 1023 (Avogadro’s Number)
• By definition, 12 grams of 12C contains NA Carbon-12atoms.
• Useful approximation: (∼ 1%) The weight ingrams of a mole of a substance is equal to the numberof nucleons in an atom (molecule) of the substance.

Energy

The SI unit of energy is the joule
1J = 1kg ·m2/s2
Historically the calorie was defined as the amount ofenergy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of waterby 1◦C. Currently the calorie is defined as:
1 cal = 4.186 J
Note that the “food calorie” (C) is a kilocalorie:

dW = F · dx = PAdx = −PdV
W =

For compression which is faster than quasistatic, or contains friction:
dW = −PdV + dWother > −PdV, dWother ≥ 0

Dissipative Work
c©2004-2020 G. Anderson Thermal Physics – slide 36 / 64
The work done on a system can be in a reversible form(configuration) work −PdV or it can be non-reversible (dissipative)work.
dW = −PdV + dWother
Dissipative work is always done on the system dWother ≥ 0.Examples of dissipative work:
• Stirring work dWother = −τdθ
• Maintaining current in a resistor dW = I2Rdt
• Sound waves generated from compression which is not quasi-staticdW > −PdV .
Dissipative work eventually ends up as heat added to the system, butsince heat is not taken from a reservoir, the entropy of the universeincreases.

At constant volume, all the heat added goes into raisingthe temperature.
d Q = dU = CV dT
For an ideal gas at constant pressure:
CP = CV +Nk
Thus, it takes more heat: d Q = CPdT , to achieve thesame change in temperature than it does at constantvolume. This extra heat does work.

Enthalpy
c©2004-2020 G. Anderson Thermal Physics – slide 55 / 64
Enthalpy, H, the total energy required to create a system U and tomake room for it PV , at constant pressure.
H = U + PV
In a system at constant pressure:
dH = d(U + PV ) = dU + d(PV ) = dU + PdV
Enthalpy can increase by adding energy to or expanding the system.Using the first law: dU = d Q+ dW :
dH = [d Q+ dW ] + PdV
= [d Q− PdV + dWother] + PdV
= d Q+ dWother2
2Eventually Wother ends up as heat added to the system, but unlike Q it is nottaken from a reservoir. It increases the entropy of the universe.

The flow of molecules from an area ofhigh concentration to an area of lowconcentration is called diffusion. Un-der normal circumstances, diffusionprocesses obey Fick’s Law:
Jx = −Ddn
dx
where D is the diffusion coefficient. Ingeneral, the diffusion flux vector is:
J = −D∇n
