Everything there is to know about thermodynamics

(Assuming an understanding of the Carnot Cycle on a TS diagram)

KNOWN QUANTITIES FROM PHYSICS:


Mass, moles, pressure, volume, work; W=PV

ZEROTH LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS:


Postulate the state function temperature, T, with no mention of heat
PV
T 
R

FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS:


Postulate the state function Internal Energy, U, for an adiabatic process as
U  W only then is heat defined as Q  U  W

The first law is not enough; consider the facts about the efficiency of a heat engine
W (out )
Q (in)  Q (out )  W (out ) ; W (out )  Q (in) ; EFF  ; EFF  1
Q(in)

SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS:


Postulate the state function Entropy, S, as
q
S  or Q  TS
T

W (out ) TH (S )  TC (S ) TH  TC
