P(V ) dV
A reversible process is one where the system is always infinitesimally close to equilibrium, and an infinitesimal change in conditions can reverse the process to restore both system and surroundings to their initial states.
For an isobaric process, P is a constant, then:

3. Line Integrals: See Fig-2.3 on p. 44. The P-V work is path dependent and it is not a state function. Be careful of this!
Exp-2.2 on p. 44: P-V work
Find the work Wrev for processes (a) and (b) of Fig-2.3 if: P1 = 3.00 atm, V1 = 500 cm3, P2 = 1.00 atm, V2 = 2000 cm3. Also, find Wrev for the reverse of process (a). 1) Wrev for the process (a): This process can be splitted into two sub-processes: [a,1] from the initial point, 1, to the turning point. [a,2] from the turning point to the ending point, 2.
Note: [a,1] is an isochoric process and [a,2] is an isobaric process.
Because Wrev
2 1
P(V ) dV and dV = 0 for [a,1], we
obtain: Wrev,[a,1] 0. However, Wrev,[a,2] 0 in that
[a,2] is an isobaric process. For this change:
Wrev, a , 2 Wrev, a , 2 P V P V2 V1 101325 Pa 2000. 10 6 m3 500. 10 6 m3
Wrev, a , 2 152J Wrev,[a] = Wrev,[a,1] + Wrev,[a,2] = 0 + (-152J) = -152 J
Similarly, for the reverse process (a): Vinitial = V2, Vfinal =
V1, and Pinitial = P2, and Pfinal = P1. Use these relations we
can get Wrev,[-a] = +152 J for the reverse process (a).
2) Wrev for the process (b):
Process (b) is very similar to process (a) except that: [b,1] is an isobaric expansion process, and
[b,2] is an isochoric process.
Thus, Wrev,[b] = Wrev,[b,1] + Wrev,[b,2] Wrev,[b] = -P1(V2 V1) + 0 Wrev,[b] = -(3 101325 Pa)(2000. 500.) 10-6 m3 Wrev,[b] = -456J
4. Irreversible P-V work:
The work W in a mechanically irreversible volume change sometimes cannot be calculated with thermodynamics. According to the Law of The Conservation of Energy:
dwirrev
Pexternal dV dKpiston
It is very hard to figure out the change of the kinetic energy of the piston, Kpiston, during its acceleration. However, if we wait longer enough, kpiston 0. We then have: 2

2.3: Heat
Heat is a means of energy transfer due to the temperature difference between two objects. dq Heat Capacity: C dT dq c Specific Heat Capacity: dq mdT ~ c Molar Heat Capacity: ndT Calorimetric Method: dqin = dqout T dq = mcdT q m T cP T dT Calorie (cal): The amount of heat needed to raise one gram of water from 14.5 C to 15.5 C at 1 atm pressure.

2.4: The 1st Law of Thermodynamics
E=K+V+U
E: The energy of a body
K: Kinetic energy V: Potential energy U: Internal energy
If focus on thermodynamics: let K = 0, V =0,
then, E = U Molar Internal Energy: Um = U/n The 1st Law of Thermodynamics: U = q + w for closed system, at rest, no fields.
For an infinitesimal process:
dU = dq + dw (for closed systems)
U 0 for a cyclic process.
Equ-2.40*
Example 2.3 on p. 50: Calculation of U
Calculate U when 1.00 mol of H2O goes from 25.0 C
and 1.00 atm to 30.0 C and 1.00 atm.
Note: U is a state function. You can always choose your
favorite path to do the calculation.
U = q + w, figure out q and w separately and then
calculate the U.
2.5: Enthalpy
Enthalpy, H U + PV
Why we define enthalpy, H?

Fixed P but V increases
Note: H = qP , U = qV (Equ-2.46*/2.49*, p. 52)
At fixed pressure:
H = (U + PV) = U + (PV) = U + PV For solids and liquids, V is very small when
temperature changes (incompressible), thus:
H U (for solids and liquids)
For gases, V changes a lot when temperature
changes, the PV term cannot be overlooked, thus: H U (for gases)
2.6: Heat Capacities
For an infinitesimal process: C pr
dq pr dT
For a closed system, we can define two types of capacities:
Heat capacity at constant pressure:
CP
dqP dT dqV dT
H dT U dT
H T U T
Heat capacity at constant volume:

CP(T, P) and CV(T,V) H(T,P) and U(T,V) Molar Heat Capacity:

2.8: Perfect Gases and The 1st Law
1. Perfect Gas: see Eq-2.66*, Eq-2.69*, Eq-2.70*
PV nRT and U V 0

This implies: U = U(T) U only depends on
T for perfect gases.
Since CV

, at constant V, this equation
V
becomes an ordinary derivative, CV
Thus, dU Cv dT . Similarly, dH
CP dT .
dU dT
Combine Eq-2.61* with Eq-2.66*:

Since

Therefore, for perfect gases: CP,m CV,m = R U H 0, CV 0; 0, CP 0 0, JT 0 J V T P T The 1st Law for perfect gases:
dU = CVdT = dq + dw = dq - pdV
Example 2.4, p. 59: Calculation of q, w and U Suppose 0.100 mol if a perfect gas having CV,m = 1.50R independent of temperature undergoes the reversible cyclic process 1 2 3 4 1 shown in Fig-2.10, where either P or V is held constant in each step. Calculate q, w, and U for each step and for the complete cycle. Solution: see p. 59
2. Reversible Isothermal Process in a Perfect Gas
Isothermal dU = 0, thus dq = -dw
Because dw = -pdV, dq = pdV

Example 2.5 on p. 60. A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 3.00 mol of He gas at P = 1.00 atm and is in a large constant-T bath at 400 K. The pressure is reversibly increased to 5.00 atm. Find q, w, and U for this process. For an isothermal process, U = 0, q = -w

3. Reversible Constant-P (or Constant-V) Process in a Perfect Gas: See Example 2.4!
4. Reversible Adiabatic Process in a Perfect Gas
For an adiabatic process: dq 0
For a reversible process with only P-V work:
dw = -PdV
For a perfect gas: dU = CVdT
Thus, the 1st law becomes: CVdT = -PdV
For an ideal gas: P = nRT/V = RT/(V/n) = RT/Vm
Then we get:

For an adiabatic process, U = q + w = w. Since U = CVT and CV is a constant for a perfect gas
U = CV(T2 T1) = w
This formula is applied to a perfect gas, reversible adiabatic process, and a constant CV.
See Fig-2.12 on p. 61.

Example 2.6: Calculation of H
CP, m of a certain substance in the temperature range 250 K to 500 K at 1 bar pressure is given by CP, m = b + kT, where b and k are certain known constants. If n moles of this substance is heated from T1 to T2 at 1 bar (where T1 and T2 are in the range 250 K to 500 K), find the expression for H.
