Build a simple electric motor...like this
Why?
- - As we begin our discussion of entropy (Chapter 5), we will explore spontaneous processes. In Sec 5.10 we will be introduced to the "heat engine" (a device that spontaneously rotates), a device that converts heat (q) into work (w). In the past, PChem lab has constructed a Stirling Engine (a heat engine), but the success rate has been low, so i decided to make a simpler "engine"...ie an electric motor where electrical current is converted to work.
During lab we also will "play" with some high rpm motors in small drones...and maybe the DJI Mavic Air.

Entropy Chapter (Ch 5)
Sec 5.1
Examples to consider:
- - when a hot brick is placed into cold water there is a natural direction of heat flow.
- this is an exothermic process from the perspective of the brick
- this is an endothermic process from the perspective of the water
- - a metal rod with a hot end and a cold ends has a natural direction of heat flow.
- both exothermic and endothermic process are occuring
- - when a valve separating a high pressure gas from a low pressure gas is opened, this is a natural direction of gas flow.
- this process does not appear to be exothermic or endothermic.
- Take home: naturally occurring processes are not just dependent on the enthalpy of the process...there has be be more!
1st law --> 2nd law
Applying this to an ideal gas where the CV is constant;
