Start reading chapter 1

Questions about Heating Cooling curve Excel?

Sec 1.2: Basic Definitions

- Systems and Surroundings

DEMO: box of system types

• open/closed...exchange of matter or not
• adiabatic/diathermal...heat loss or not
• walls...rigid or moveable/permeable/impermeable
• system variables...for a gas, pressure (P), temperature (T), volume (V), amount (n)
• equation of state...for a gas, ideal gas law

We mainly study gases while developing the basic aspects of thermodynamics

• 0^th Law of Thermodynamics: thermometers work!

- Internal Combustion Engine Example Calculation (worksheet)

Announcements:

- I will verify your Heating/Cooling Curve EXCEL worksheet in lab

- I will verify your combustion worksheet in lab

Questions about Combustion worksheet?

Sec 1.4: Equations of State/Ideal Gas Law

- There is a STATE --> described by STATE VARIABLES --> the relationship between the state variables is the EQUATION OF STATE (variables).

- Equations of state allow us to have predictive powers.

- Why do we fit data to math equations...data reduction...x/y data set of 100 points can be reduced to slope and y-intercept.

- Intensive/Extensive properties

Side conversation: Do you have an equation of state that we can use to predict your behavior? Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

Sec 1.5: Brief Intro to a Real Gas

- Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases (handout - PC)

- van der Walls equation; and example of a real gas equation of state.
