Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. Whenever energy freely transforms

Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. Whenever energy freely transforms from one form to another, the direction of transformation is toward a state of greater disorder and, therefore, toward one of greater entropy. The greater the disorder the higher the entropy. Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. , publishing as Pearson Addison Wesley

Entropy Second law of thermodynamics — restatement: Natural systems tend to disperse from concentrated

Entropy Second law of thermodynamics — restatement: Natural systems tend to disperse from concentrated and organized-energy states toward diffuse and disorganized states. Energy tends to degrade • and disperse with time. The total amount of entropy in any system tends to increase with time. Work is needed to transform a state of disorderly, diffuse energy to a state of more concentrated energy. The Sun supplies the energy to do this work when plants transform liquids and vapors into sugar molecules– a plants storehouse of usable, concentrated energy.

Specific Heat Capacity Specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat required to change the temperature of 1 unit mass of a substance by 1°C. • thermal inertia that indicates the resistance of a substance to a change in temperature. • sometimes called specific heat.

Specific Heat CHECK YOUR ANSWER Which has the higher specific heat, water or land? A. B. C. D. Water. Land. Both of the above are the same. None of the above. Explanation: A substance with small temperature changes for large heat changes has a high specific heat capacity. Water takes much longer to heat up in the sunshine than does land.

6. 7 Thermal Expansion When the temperature of a substance is increased, its particles jiggle faster and move farther apart. All forms of matter generally expand when heated and contract when cooled. The gap in the roadway of a bridge is called an expansion joint. It allows the bridge to expand contract.

Thermal Expansion CHECK YOUR ANSWER When stringing telephone lines between poles in the summer, it is advisable to allow the lines to A. B. C. D. sag. be taut. be close to the ground. allow ample space for birds. Explanation: Telephone lines are longer in a warmer summer and shorter in a cold winter. Hence, they sag more on hot summer days than in winter. If the lines are not strung with enough sag in summer, they might contract too much and snap during the winter—especially when carrying ice.

Expansion of Water When water becomes ice, it expands. Ice has open-structured crystals resulting from strong bonds at certain angles that increase its volume. This make ice less dense than water. Liquid water is more dense than ice because water molecules in a liquid are closer together than water molecules frozen in ice, where they have an open crystalline structure.

Close to 0°C, liquid water contains crystals of ice. The open structure of these crystals increases the volume of the water slightly.

Expansion of Water between 0 C and 4 C does not expand with temperature.

Expansion of Water between 0 C and 4 C does not expand with temperature. As the temperature of 0 water rises, it contracts until it reaches 4 C. Thereafter, it expands. Water is at its smallest volume and greatest density at 4 C. When 0 C water freezes to become ice, however, it has its largest volume and lowest density.

Expansion of Water Volume changes for a 1 -gram sample of water. Between 0°C and 4°C, the volume of liquid water decreases as temperature increases. Above 4°C, water behaves the way other substances do. Its volume increases as its temperature increases. The volumes shown here are for a 1 gram sample.

Heat Transfer: conduction • Conduction: Heat is transferred between substances that are touching • Heat transfer is always from warmer to colder substances • The rate of heat transfer increases as the temperature difference increases • The rate of heat transfer varies with the type of substance – Metal? – Air? • Winter coats • insulation The transfer of heat from the hot end of the metal pin to the cool end by molecular contact is called conduction

Heat Transfer: Conduction occurs predominately in solids where the molecules remain in relatively restricted

Heat Transfer: Conduction occurs predominately in solids where the molecules remain in relatively restricted locations. The tile floor feels colder than the wooden floor, even though both floor materials are at the same temperature. This is because tile is a better conductro of heat than wood, and so heat is more readily conducted out of the foot touching the tile. Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. , publishing as Pearson Addison Wesley When you touch a nail stuck in ice, does cold flow from the ice to your hand, or does energy flow from your hand to the ice?

Heat Transfer: Conduction Example: When one end of a solid is placed near a

Heat Transfer: Conduction Example: When one end of a solid is placed near a heat source, electrons and adjacent molecules gain kinetic energy and start to move faster and farther. They collide with neighboring molecules and transfer some of their kinetic energy to them. These molecules then interact with other neighboring molecules, and thermal energy is gradually transferred along the solid.

D. Yes. In some cases, yes. No. In some cases, no. Explanation: Cold does not flow from the ice to your hand. Heat flows from your hand to the ice.

Heat Transfer: Convection: • occurs in liquids and gases • involves the movement of warmer gases or liquids to cooler surroundings Two characteristics of convection: • the ability of flow— carrying thermal energy with the fluid • the ability of warm fluid to rise in cooler surroundings Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. , publishing as Pearson Addison Wesley Convection currents in air and in fluid.

• Although we can’t see air, there are signs that tell us where the air is rising. On a calm day, you can watch a hawk circle and climb high above level ground while its wings remain motionless. A rising thermal carries the hawk upward as it scans the terrain for prey. If the water vapor inside the rising thermal condenses into liquid cloud droplets, thermal becomes visible to us as a puffy cumulus cloud. Flying in a light aircraft beneath these clouds usually produces a bumpy ride, as passengers are jostled around by the rising and sinking air associated with convection.

Heat Transfer: Radiation is the process by which thermal energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves. A thermal energy source such as the Sun converts some of its energy into electromagnetic waves. These waves carry energy, which converts back into thermal energy when absorbed by a receiver.

D. lower. higher. unaffected. none of the above. Explanation: If a good absorber were not also a good emitter, there would be a net absorption of radiant energy, and the temperature of a good absorber would remain higher than the temperature of the surroundings.

Absorption of Radiant Energy: The ability to absorb and radiate thermal energy is indicated

Absorption of Radiant Energy: The ability to absorb and radiate thermal energy is indicated by the color of the material. Good absorbers and good emitters are dark in color. Poor absorbers and poor emitters are reflective or light in color. Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. , publishing as Pearson Addison Wesley

Absorption of Radiant Energy The surface of any material both absorbs and emits radiant

Absorption of Radiant Energy The surface of any material both absorbs and emits radiant energy. When a surface absorbs more energy than it emits, it is a net absorber, and temperature rises. When a surface emits more energy than it absorbs, it is a net emitter, and temperature falls. Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. , publishing as Pearson Addison Wesley

Absorption of Radiant Energy Whether a surface is a net absorber or net emitter

Absorption of Radiant Energy Whether a surface is a net absorber or net emitter depends on whether its temperature is above or below that of its surroundings. A surface hotter than its surroundings will be a net emitter and will cool. A surface colder than its surroundings will be a net absorber and will warm.
