BASIC CONCEPTS
What is thermodynamics?

Its scope ?

Need for a precise formulation of basic concepts & improvement


in its mathematical basisvarious attempts.
Macroscopic & Microscopic View
Concept of Quantitative Measurement
------- standards
------- any quantitative measurement would involve a method by
which we recognise the three cases :
A > B;

A < B; A=B

Conversely : To define a new quantity, we need to set up an


experimental. method on above lines.

BASIC CONCEPTS
OBJECT, ISOLATION, BOUNDARIES
Need for idealisation
Since by definition an object is something that can be
no spontaneous changes should occur in it (e.g.
isolated
Radioactive salt cant be an object).
Such an isolated object undergoing no change at all is said
to be in equilibrium.

BASIC CONCEPTS

Conditions of Interaction

Alternative formulations

X + X = H

------- (1)

Q + Q = Const ----(2)
V + V = Const ---(3)

e.g. If S = l nV eq (2) would transform to e s+ e


s=Const.

BASIC CONCEPTS
STATE of an OBJECT, PROPERTY
Intrinsic macroscopically observable characteristics.
Condition of an object as described by its properties.
Choice of properties is not unique.
Relationship between the properties of an Object EQ.OF
STATE

e.g.

Q
= C ; P.V. = RT
V

BASIC CONCEPTS
Generalised Coordinates
Variables preferred in
defining the state of an
object

Q, h

or V, h ?

+
h

Capacitor balance

BASIC CONCEPTS
Orthogonal Variables :
That can be changed arbitrarily without affecting the
other .
Q, h

or V, h ?

Generalised Coordinates : a set of variables that are


orthogonal on one another.
For various interactions we can identify generalized
coordinates, e.g.
X, V, Q, Ni, M, .

BASIC CONCEPTS.

Principle of Causality : for every effect there is a
cause

Generalised Force
How to Quantify it ?
Three possible outcomes of any interaction are
dx > 0 ; dx < 0 ------(i)
dx < 0 ; dx > 0 -----(ii)
dx = 0 ; dx = 0 ----- (iii)

BASIC CONCEPTS

Generalised Force

By close observation of the interaction, it is


possible to identify property f of the objects
such that :
f < f -------- (i)
dx > 0 ; dx < 0 ------(i)
dx < 0 ; dx > 0 -----f > f -------(ii)
(ii)
f = f -------dx = 0 ; dx = 0 ----(iii)
(iii)
We call this Quantity f as the Gen. Force
Condition (iii) above equilibrium between objects

BASIC CONCEPTS

Summary
Generalised Force is the cause
behind the effects of interaction
Mode of interaction decides
the generalised force
Equilibrium is essential for
measurement of generalised force

Principle of Transitivity : f = f & f = f


=>f = f
