the FIRST or SECOND Laws
of ThermoDynamics?

Laws of ThermoDyamics
 In the Instructor’s Opinion The
SECOND Law is the GREATEST of all
the “Laws of Physics”
 The ThermoDyamic Laws
• Describe the Relationships & Connections
Between Work↔Heat↔Energy
• Describe and Quantify Reversibility and
IRReversibilty

The “Laws”  What are they?
 First Law of Thermodynamics
• Energy can neither be CREATED nor
DESTROYED
– But Energy Can be Moved, or Changed to
Other forms
 Second Law of Thermodynamics
• NATURALLY OCCURRING processes are
Directional
– Natural process can go ONE WAY,
but NOT the OTHER

Reversibility
 Reversibility is the ability to run a
process back and forth (backwards and
forwards) infinitely withOUT Losses
 Money analogy: Currency Conversion
• NO service fee (reversible):
$100  113000₩, and one hour later at the
same place, 113000₩  $100
• WITH service fees (IRreversible:
$100  68€, and one hour later at the
same place, 68€  $90 (5% fee both ways)

Example: Popping at Ballon
 A “reversible process” can go in either
direction, but these processes are rare
 Generally, the irreversibility shows up
as waste heat

Not reversible unless
energy is expended

First Law of ThermoDynamics
 One form of work may be converted
into Another,
 Or, work may be converted to heat,
 Or, heat may be converted to work,
 But, ALWAYS
FINAL energy = INITIAL energy

2nd Law of Thermodynamics
 We intuitively know that heat flows from
higher to lower temperatures and NOT
the other direction.
• i.e., heat flows “DownHill”; just like water
 WHY don’t see we Water flow UpHill,
or Heat move Cold→Hot on Occasion?
 Water and Heat Flow ONE-WAY
Because These processes heat are
inherently IRreversible.

Heat↔Work Converstions
 Heat transfer is inherently irreversible.
• This places LIMITS on the amount of work
that can be produced from heat.
 Heat can be converted to work using
heat engines; e.g.,
• Jet engines (planes),
• Steam engines (electrical PowerPlants),
• Internal combustion engines (automobiles)

Watt’s Engine
Watt, James (1736-1819)
Scottish inventor and
mechanical engineer,
renowned for his
improvements of the steam
engine. Watt was born on
January 19, 1736, in
Greenock, Scotland. He
worked as a mathematicalinstrument maker from the
age of 19 and soon became
interested in improving the
steam engines, invented by
the English engineers
Thomas Savery and Thomas
Newcomen, which were used
at the time to pump water
from mines.

If you take methane, the main component
of natural gas, and expose it to steam,
the final products are primarily carbon
dioxide and hydrogen. Chemically
CH4  2H 2O  4H 2  CO2
• This is already a Large-Volume Industrial
Process, but it produces a LOT of CO2 –

3. Coal gasification
•
hydrogen could be produced at
centralized plants, compressed and most
likely transported in trucks.
•
Coal is mostly carbon, but also contains
hydrogen and sulfur. Exposed to water at
high temperature and high pressure, it
chemically reacts to yield carbon
monoxide (CO) and hydrogen.
– But CO is Poisonous to Humans
