Unit 1: Thermodynamics



Ideal Gas Equation
p V = n R T

Change of Internal Energy
Δ U = n C v Δ T
Δ U = Q - W

Change of Heat
Q = n C ( T 2 T 1 )

Thermal Expansion
Δ L = α L 0 Δ T
H = d Q d t = k A T H T C L
Isobaric (Constant Pressure)
W = p ( V 2 V 1 )
Δ U = Q W




Isochoric (Constant Volume)
Δ U = Q
Q = n C v Δ T
Isothermal (Constant Temperature)
Δ U = 0
Q = W
W = n R T ln ( V b V a )

Adiabetic (No Heat)
Δ U = W
p 1 V 1 γ = p 2 V 2 γ
T 1 V 1 γ 1 = T 2 V 2 γ 1
W = 1 γ 1 ( p 1 V 1 p 2 V 2 )
Root Mean Square Velocity
V r m s = 3 R T M

Heat Engine Efficiency
e = W Q h = 1 Q c Q h

Entropy
Δ S = Q T
