2. The zeroth law of Thermodynamics 2.1 Thermodynamical systems Before we embark on deriving the laws of thermodynamics, it is necessary to define the main vocabulary we will be using throughout these lectures. Definition 2.1.1 — ‘Thermodynamical system’ (or ‘system’). Whatever “macroscopic” part of the Universe we select for study.

into doing work. This statement of energy conservation is the first law of thermodynamics, which is defined more formally below. Related End-of-Chapter Exercises: 1 and 13. The first law of thermodynamics is a statement of energy conservation as it relates to a thermodynamic system. Heat, which is energy transferred into or out of a system, can be

We review the laws of thermodynamics. Each of the foundational subjects in physics has its central core of laws from which the subject deduces important quantitative explanations of nature. In mechanics, the principles (or, at least, one set of them) are Newton’s three laws of motion, and if you continue learning physics you will discover that elec...
What are the laws of thermodynamics and what are their implications? Unlike our previous or future ”Framing Questions” we will not answer this question through exploration or derivation, but rather through postulation and discussion. The nature of physical laws is that such laws are the starting point of physical theories and therefore, within the ...
Zeroth Law: If system A is in thermal equilibrium with system B, and system equilibrium with system C, then system A is in thermal equilibrium with system B is in thermal C. Figure 1: Many particles in a box in a room at constant temperature. The particles in the box can behave quite dynamically in time, but if we consider, say, the total energy of...
First Law: The energy of the universe (or any isolated system2) is does not change in time (i.e., is conserved). If there are changes in energy, heat, or work in a system they must all balance and result in zero net change in the energy of such a system. If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? Yes! Because conservation of energy says s...
Second Law: The entropy of the universe (or any isolated system) increases or remains constant in time. When this entropy is constant, the system is in thermal equilibrium. You drop a blot of ink into a glass of water and after some time (if the density of the drop is approximately equal to that of water) the drop has spread throughout the glass of...
Third Law: The entropy of a crystalline solid (or any system where there is only a single mi-crostate in the ground state) goes to zero as the temperature of the system goes to absolute zero. Of the four laws of thermodynamics, the third law is the odd-one out. It seems to be on a di erent level from the other laws partly because it does not introd...
We can summarize the laws of thermodynamics as follows Zeroth law of thermodynamics: If system A is in thermal equilibrium with system B, and system C is in thermal equilibrium with system B, then system A and system C are in thermal equilibrium with each other. First law of thermodynamics: The energy of the universe (or any isolated system) is doe...

The condition isothermal means ΔT = 0, which in turn implies that ΔU = 0. Hence from the first law of thermodynamics, we have dq = 0 i.e. no heat is transferred from, or to the surrounding giving dSsurrounding = 0. However, since the dSsystem = R ln (V2/V1). Since V2 is definitely greater than V1, therefore. = +.
1 Introduction. Thermodynamics is the study of heat and temperature. One thing that makes thermodynamics hard (and generally unpopular) is all the damn variables. Everything is related and it's often tough to keep straight what is an independent and what is a dependent variable.
