Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Concepts and Terminology

  • Heat is energy in transit due to temperature difference between two bodies
  • Temperature is the property that determines thermal equilibrium between bodies
  • System can be open (exchanges mass and energy), closed (exchanges only energy), or isolated (no exchange)
2

Thermodynamic Processes

  • Isothermal process occurs at constant temperature (T = constant)
  • Adiabatic process occurs with no heat exchange (Q = 0)
  • Isobaric process occurs at constant pressure (P = constant)
3

Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

  • If system A is in thermal equilibrium with C, and B is in thermal equilibrium with C, then A and B are in thermal equilibrium
  • Provides basis for temperature measurement
  • Establishes transitivity of thermal equilibrium
4

Internal Energy and First Law

  • Internal energy U is sum of kinetic and potential energies of molecules
  • Internal energy is a state function - depends only on current state
  • First Law: ΔU = Q - W (energy conservation for thermodynamic systems)
