TIPS and Tricks

Heat and Thermodynamics

1 Always remember
Conservation of energy
2 Specific heat The heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree
3 Heat absorbed or emitted by a substance due to a Δθ change in temparature Q= Mc Δθ

M is the mass of substance, c is specific heat

4 Latent Heat The amount of heat absorbed or released when a substance changes its state
  • latent heat of fusion (melting)
  • latent heat of vaporization (boiling)
5 Farenheit to Centigrade conversion
Too simple right! C/5 = (F-32)/9
6 Kelvin -- Centigrade -- Farenheit 273.15 K = 0°C = 32°F
7
Expansion due to heat
Linear Expansion l=l0(1+ α t)

α is the coefficient of linear expansion

Superficial Expansion S=S0(1+ β t)

&beta is the coefficient of superficial expansion

Volumetric Expansion V=V0(1+ γ t)

γ is the coefficient of volumetric expansion

α: &beta: &gamma = 1:2:3
8 Conduction ---- Convection ---- Radiation Too easy... Let's move on
9 Transmission of Heat by conduction Q = (kAΔθ/l)t

Where l is the separation between the two ends with temp. difference

k is the coefficient of thermal conductivity

t is time

The case of Compound Slab Q = t(AΔθ)/(l1/k1)+(l2/k2)+(l3/k3)+...
10 Newton's Law of Cooling ΔT/Δt ∝ ΔT

t -- time

T -- temparature

11
Stefan's Law
E = σ T4
Stefan's Constant σ = 5.67 x 10-8 Wm-2K-4
12 First Law of Thermodynamics Conservation of energy

ΔQ=ΔU + ΔW

13
A few things you must revise in detail
Isothermal Process

Adiabatic Process

Isobaric Process

14 Specific heat of a gas Depends on temparature and pressure
15
Specific Heats for Gases
Monoatomic Gas Cv = 3R/2

Cp = 5R/2

&gamma = Cp/Cv = 1.67

Diatomic Gas Cv = 5R/2

Cp = 7R/2

&gamma = Cp/Cv = 1.4

Polyatomic Gas Cv = 3R

Cp = 4R

&gamma = Cp/Cv = 1.33

16 Ideal Gas

Real Gas

PV = nRT

Use Van Der Waal Equation
