NOTE PHYSICS 2 - THEORY

(Midterm)
I. Fluid mechanics
1. Fluid at rest
a) Pressure and density
- Pressure: The ratio of normal force to area
𝐹
𝑝=
𝐴
2
Unit: 1𝑃𝑎 = 𝑁/𝑚 or atm (1 atm = 101325 Pa)
- Density: mass per unit volume
𝑚
𝜌=
𝑉
3
Unit: 𝑘𝑔/𝑚
- The pressure between level 1
and level 2
𝑝2 = 𝑝1 + 𝜌(𝑦1 − 𝑦2 )𝑔
For water, the pressure of water
at depth h compared with the
surface
𝒑 = 𝒑𝟎 + 𝝆𝒈𝒉
where:
𝑝0 : atmospheric pressure (𝑝0 = 1𝑎𝑡𝑚 = 101325 𝑃𝑎)
𝜌𝑔ℎ : gauge pressure
𝑝 : absolute pressure
b) Pascal’s principle
For a hydraulic level, we have:
𝑭𝟏 𝑨𝟏
=
𝑭𝟐 𝑨𝟐
The output works between two pistons are conserved
𝐹1 𝑑1 = 𝐹2 𝑑2
c) Archimede’s Principle:
The buoyant force acting on the object sinking in the
fluid
𝑭𝒃 = 𝝆𝒇𝒍𝒖𝒊𝒅 𝒈𝑽
𝜌𝑓𝑙𝑢𝑖𝑑 : density of the fluid (𝑘𝑔/𝑚3 )
𝑉: volume of fluid displaced by the object
Note: If the object is fully
submerged in water
𝑉 = 𝑉𝑜𝑏𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡
2. Fluid in motion
a) The equation of continuity
For a moving fluid, the
relationship between the speed
and the cross-section area
𝑨𝟏 𝒗𝟏 = 𝑨𝟐 𝒗𝟐
Volume flow rate: 𝑅𝑉 =
𝐴𝑣 (𝑚3 /𝑠)
Mass flow rate: 𝑅𝑚 =
𝜌𝑅𝑉 (𝑘𝑔/𝑠)
b) Bernoulli’s equation
For an ideal fluid flowing at a steady rate through a
tube
1 2 1 2
𝑝1 + 𝜌𝑣1 + 𝜌𝑔𝑦1 = 𝑝2 + 𝜌𝑣2 + 𝜌𝑔𝑦2
2 2
If y = 0 (not consider the height of the tube)
𝟏 𝟐 𝟏 𝟐
𝒑𝟏 + 𝝆𝒗𝟏 = 𝒑𝟐 + 𝝆𝒗𝟐
𝟐 𝟐
II. Temperature and heat
1. Heat: The energy transferred between a system and its
environment because of a temperature difference that
exists between them.
a) Heat capacity: The heat capacity C of an object is the
amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of
the object by 1 degree
𝑄 = 𝐶∆𝑇 = 𝐶(𝑇𝑓 − 𝑇𝑖 )
b) Specific heat: The heat capacity per unit mass
𝑸 = 𝒄𝒎∆𝑻 = 𝒄𝒎(𝑻𝒇 − 𝑻𝒊 )
c) Heats of transformation: The amount of energy per
unit mass that is transferred as heat when a sample of
mass m completely undergoes a phase change (solid 
liquid, liquid  gas)
𝑸 = 𝑳𝒎
Solid  liquid: 𝐿𝑓 : heat of fusion
Liquid  gas: 𝐿𝑉 : heat of vaporization
Note: To find the heat required for the whole process,
we calculate the heat required in each state and take
sum
For example: The water from −30℃ → 100℃
Step 1: Specific heat from −30℃ → 0℃ (Q1)
Step 2: Melting heat at 0℃ (Q2)
Step 3: Specific heat from 0℃ → 100℃ (Q3)
Step 4: Vaporizing heat at 100℃ (Q4)
 Total heat:
∑ 𝑄 = 𝑄1 + 𝑄2 + 𝑄3 + 𝑄4
2. The First Law of Thermodynamics
a) Work done
The total work done by the gas
𝑽𝒇
𝑾 = ∫ 𝒅𝑾 = ∫ 𝒑𝒅𝑽
𝑽𝒊
(The area below the plot p vs V)
The work done on the system
𝑊𝑜𝑛 = −𝑊
Expansion: W > 0
Compression: W < 0
b) The First Law of Thermodynamics: The internal
energy Eint of a system tends to increase if energy is
added as heat Q and tends to decrease if energy is lost
as work W done by the system.
∆𝑬 = 𝑬𝒊 − 𝑬𝒇 = 𝑸 − 𝑾
Specific cases:
• Adiabatic: No transfer heat between the system
and its environment (𝑄 = 0)
∆𝐸 = −𝑊
• Cyclical process: The system is restored to its
initial state (𝐸𝑖 = 𝐸𝑓 )
∆𝐸 = 0 → 𝑄 = 𝑊
• Free expansion: No transfer heat and no work
done
𝑄 = 𝑊 = 0 → ∆𝐸 = 0
Heating process:
• Isothermal: Constant
temperature (∆𝑇 = 0)
∆𝐸 = 0 → 𝑄 = 𝑊
• Isochoric: Constant
volume: (∆𝑉 = 0)
𝑊 = 0 → ∆𝐸 = 𝑄
• Isobaric: Constant
pressure
∆𝐸 = 𝑄 − 𝑝∆𝑉

III. Heat transfer mechanism


1. Thermal expansion
There are 3 types of expansion:
- Linear expansion:
∆𝑳 = 𝑳𝜶∆𝑻
𝛼: the coefficient of linear expansion (1/℃ or 1/𝐾)
- Area expansion:
∆𝐴 = 𝐴𝛼𝐴 ∆𝑇, 𝛼𝐴 = 2𝛼
- Volume expansion
∆𝑉 = 𝑉𝛽∆𝑇, 𝛽 = 3𝛼
2. Heat transfer mechanism
a) Conduction: Heat transfer due to the vibration of the
adjacent particles in the materials (metal)
Consider a slab of face area A, thickness L, in thermal
contact with a hot reservoir TH and a cold reservoir TC
The rate of energy transfer per unit time:
𝑸 𝑻𝑯 − 𝑻𝑪
𝑷𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 = = 𝒌𝑨
𝒕 𝑳
k: thermal conductivity
For a composite slab (has thickness 𝐿1 and 𝐿2 and
conductivities 𝑘1 and 𝑘2 )
𝑇𝐻 − 𝑇𝑋 𝑇𝑋 − 𝑇𝐶
𝑃𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 = 𝑘1 𝐴 = 𝑘2 𝐴
𝐿1 𝐿2
𝐴(𝑇𝐻 − 𝑇𝐶 )
𝑃𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 =
𝐿1 𝐿2
+
𝑘1 𝑘2
If the slab has n materials
𝑨(𝑻𝑯 − 𝑻𝑪 )
𝑷𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 =
𝑳
∑𝒏𝒊=𝟏 𝒊
𝒌𝒊
Note: The temperature everywhere in the slab and the
rate of energy transfer does not change with time.
b) Convection: Heat transfer due to the bulk movement
of molecules within fluids
c) Radiation: Heat transfer due to electromagnetic wave
The rate of emitting energy of an object is given by:
𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑑 = 𝜎𝜀𝐴𝑇 4
𝜎: Stefan-Boltzman constant
(𝜎 = 5.6703 x 10−8 𝑊𝑚−2 𝐾 −4 )
𝜀: emissivity (0 ≤ 𝜀 ≤ 1) For blackbody: 𝜀 = 1
A: object’s surface area
T: object’s temperature
