In this chapter we begin to unfold some of the
power of thermodynamics by showing how to
establish relations between different
properties of a system,The procedure we use
is based on the experimental fact that the
internal energy and the enthalpy are state
functions,and we derive a number of
relations between observables by exploring
the mathematical consequences of these facts.

The initial state of the system is i and in
this state the internal energy is Ui,Work
is done by the system as it expands
adiabatically to a state f,In this state the
system has an internal energy Uf and the
work done on the system as it changes
along Path 1 from i to f is w,U is a
property of the state; w is a property of
the path,

In Path 2,the initial and final states are
the same but in which the expansion is
not adiabatic,In this path an energy q'
enters the system as heat and the work
w' is not the same as w,The work and
the heat are path functions,

differential is an infinitesimal quantity which,when integra-
ted,gives a result that is independent of the path between
the initial and final states.

system is heated,the total energy transferred as heat is the
sum of all individual contributions at each point of the path.

Consider a perfect gas inside a cylinder fitted with a
piston,Let the initial state be T,Vi and the final state
be T,Vf,The change of state can be brought about in
many ways,of which the two simplest are following:
Path 1,in which there is free expansion against zero
external pressure; Path 2,in which there is reversible,
isothermal expansion,Calculate w,q,and?U for each
process.
Example -Calculating work,heat,and internal energy
版权所有:华东理工大学物理化学教研室 9
Method,To find a starting point for a calculation in
thermodynamics,it is often a good idea to go back to
first principles,and to look for a way of expressing
the quantity we are asked to calculate in terms of
other quantities that are easier to calculate,Because
the internal energy of a perfect gas arises only from
the kinetic energy of its molecules,it is independent of
volume; therefore,for any isothermal change,in
general?U = q+w,
Example -Calculating work,heat,and internal energy
版权所有:华东理工大学物理化学教研室 10
Answer,Since?U = 0 for both paths and?U = q+w.
The work of free expansion is zero,
in Path 1,w = 0 and q = 0;
for Path 2,the work is given by
so w = - nRT ln (Vf /Vi),and
q = nRT ln (Vf /Vi),

When there are no interactions be-

positive,because an increase of pressure,implying a posi-

let a gas expand through a porous barrier
from one constant pressure to another,
and monitored the difference of T that
arose from the expansion,The process

on the low-pressure side,the difference in
T being proportional to the p difference
maintained,This cooling by adiabatic

3),The Joule -Thomson effect
Because all changes to the gas
occur adiabatically,q = 0,
The gas on the left is compressed
isothermally and the work done:
wL = - pi (0- Vi) = piVi
The work done in right,
wR = - pf (Vf - 0) = -pfVf
The total work done:
w = wL + wR = piVi -pfVf

版权所有:华东理工大学物理化学教研室 26
3),The Joule -Thomson effect
Since q = 0,then U= w + q = w,
the change of U of the gas as it moves
from one side of the throttle to the
other is:
Uf- Ui = w = piVi - pfVf
Uf + pfVf = Ui + piVi
Hf = Hi
The expansion occurs without change
of enthalpy,an isenthalpic process.

3),The Joule -Thomson effect
The property is the ratio of the T change to the change of p,
ΔT/Δp,Adding the constraint of constant enthalpy and taking
the limit of small Δp implies the quantity measured is (dT/dp)H,
which is the Joule-Thomson coefficient,μ,And μ is the ratio of
the change in temperature to the change in pressure when a
gas expands under adiabatic conditions.

3),The Joule -Thomson effect,for real gases
For a perfect gas,? = 0,But Real gases
have nonzero? and,depending on the
identity of the gas,p and T,the relative
magnitudes of the attractive and
repulsive intermolecular forces,the sign
of the coefficient may be either positive
or negative.
The sign of the Joule-
Thomson coefficient,?
A positive sign implies that dT is negative
when dp is negative,in which case the gas
cools on expansion,A negative sign implies
heating process.

3),The Joule -Thomson effect,for real gases
Inside the boundary,?> 0 and outside it
is negative,The T corresponding to the
boundary at a given p is the inversion T
of the gas at that p,Reduction of p under
adiabatic conditions moves the system
along one of the isenthalps,The inversion
T curve runs through the points of the
isenthalps where their slopes change
from negative to positive.

3),The Joule -Thomson effect,for real gases
The sign of the Joule-Thomson
coefficient,?
Gases that show a heating effect
(?<0) at one T show a cooling
effect (?> 0) when the T is below
their upper inversion temperature,
TI,A gas typically has two
inversion temperatures,one at
high temperature and the other at
low.
