Chapter Two
The Thermodynamic Laws
Update on 2017/9/19
(2.1)、The zeroth law of thermodynamics
The zeroth law of thermodynamics is to define the relationship between two
systems in thermal equilibrium. A system in thermal equilibrium is a system whose
properties are invariant with time.
When two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with a third body, they are in
thermal equilibrium with one another.
Thus, thermal equilibrium is a relation between thermodynamic systems.
Mathematically, the zeroth law expresses that this relation is an equivalence relation.
(A) = (C) = (B)
(B) Fig. 2.1.1 The systems in equilibrium
When two bodies are in thermal equilibrium, they are of the same temperature.
If A BT T , and
B CT T , then A CT T .
History
The term zeroth law was coined by Ralph H. Fowler(1889 – 1944), who was a
British physicist and astronomer. In many ways, the law is more fundamental than
any of the others. However, the need to state it explicitly as a law was perceived
until the first third of the 20th century, long after the first three laws were already
widely in use and named as such, hence the zero numbering.

(2.2)、The first law of thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics is an expression of the universal law of
conservation of energy, and identifies heat transfer as a form of energy transfer.
The increase in the internal energy of a thermodynamic system is equal to the amount
of heat transfer added to the system minus the work done by the system on the
surroundings.

History
The first explicit statement of the first law of thermodynamics was given by Rudolf
Clausius, who was a German physicist and mathematician, in 1850. The original
statement of the first law was "There is a state function E, called ‘energy’, whose
differential equals the work exchanged with the surroundings during an adiabatic
process."
(2.2.1). Isolated system
If a system exchanges neither mass nor energy with its environment, its energy
is invariant with time.

An insulated rigid chamber is divided into two equal parts with a diaphragm. The
diaphragm neither moves nor conducts heat. The left part is filled with air at 3 bars
and 25℃, and the right part is kept at vacuum. If the diaphragm ruptures and the
whole chamber is filled with air, find the final temperature of the air in the chamber.

pressure and the temperature on both sides are equal. Find the final temperature of
the air in the chamber.

temperature of the air in the chamber.

(2.2.2). Closed system
If a system exchanges energy with its environment, the increase in the internal
energy of the system equals to the amount of heat transfer added to the system minus
the work done by the system on the surroundings. Q U W

(2.3)、The second law of thermodynamics
(2.3.1). History
The first theory on the conversion of heat into mechanical work is due to Nicolas
Léonard Sadi Carnot in 1824.
Rudolf Clausius was the first to formulate the second law in 1850.
Established in the 19th century, the Kelvin-Planck statement of the Second Law says,
"It is impossible for any device that operates on a cycle to receive heat from a single
reservoir and produce a net amount of work." This was shown to be equivalent to the
statement of Clausius.
(2.3.2). Statements of the second law
(2.3.2.1). Thermal reservoir
Thermal reservoir, characterized by its temperature, is a reservoir of infinite heat
capacity. Thermal reservoir can play the roles of either heat sink or heat source.
No matter how much heat is delivered, temperature of the reservoir will never
change.
There are many statements of the second law which use different terms, but are all
equivalent.
(2.3.2.2). Kelvin-Plank Statement
It is impossible for any system to operate in a thermodynamic cycle and deliver a net
amount of work to its surroundings while receiving energy by heat transfer from a
single thermal reservoir.
An equivalent statement by Lord Kelvin is:
"A transformation whose only final result is to convert heat, extracted from a source
at constant temperature, into work, is impossible."
This statement implies an inequality of conversion between heat and work. Work
can be totally converted to heat. However, heat can only be partially converted to
work.
Advanced Thermodynamics, ME dept. NCHU 頁 14
(2.3.2.3). Clausius Statement
It is impossible for any system to operate in such a way that the sole result would be
an energy transfer by heat from a cooler to a hotter body.
Another statement by Clausius is:
"Heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body."
This statement implies an inequality of the heat transfer between a hot body and a
cold body. Heat transfer from a hot body to a cold body can spontaneously occur.
However, heat transfer in the reversed direction can not happen without the
intervention of work.
The most common enunciation of second law of thermodynamics is essentially due
to Rudolf Clausius: The entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to
increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium.
The second law holds in a statistical sense. That is, the second law will hold on
average, with a statistical variation on the order of 1/√N where N is the number of
particles in the system. For everyday (macroscopic) situations, the probability that
the second law will be violated is practically nil. However, for systems with a small
number of particles, thermodynamic parameters, including the entropy, may show
significant statistical deviations from that predicted by the second law. Classical
thermodynamic theory does not deal with these statistical variations.
Consequences of the Kelvin-Plank Statement are as the following.
For all the cycles working on the same reservoirs, the reversible cycle is of the
highest thermal efficiency.
For all the reversible cycles working on the same reservoirs, they are of the same
thermal efficiency.

heat engine is defined as

(2.3.2.4). Caratheodory’s Two Axioms
Axiom I: The work is the same in all adiabatic processes that take a system from a
given initial state to a given final state.
Q U W
In an adiabatic process, the heat transfer is zero, 0Q , which would produce the
result that W U .
The Caratheodory’s first axiom is equivalent to the conventional statement of the
First Law of Thermodynamics.
The heat transfer interaction is defined as the difference between the actual work
transfer and the adiabatic work transfer associated with the given end states.
adbQ W W
Axiom II: In the immediate neighborhood of every state of a system, there are other
states that can not be reached from the first by an adiabatic process.
In the PV diagram, assume that state A(P1, V1) can be reached from state B (P2,
V2) with an adiabatic process. There exists another state C(P3, V2) with the same
volume as sate B, but the values of pressure are different. Suppose that state C can
also be reached from state A with an adiabatic process. It is noted that the three
processes of AB, BC, and CA compose a cycle. Since AB and CA are adiabatic,
there is no heat transfer along these two processes. Heat transfer must occur during
the process BC. However, process BC does not output work since the volume
keeps the same during the process. As a result, the cycle absorb heat during the
process BC and then converts heat totally to work during the process AB and CA.
P A (P1, V1)
C (P3, V2)
B (P2, V2)
V
Advanced Thermodynamics, ME dept. NCHU 頁 16
If the state of C exists, then the Kelvin Plank statement of the second law of
thermodynamics is violated because the system absorbs heat with single reservoir
and converts this heat to work. That is, if axiom II of Caratheodory can be violated,
then the Kelvin Plank statement of the second law of thermodynamics can also be
violated.
In order not to violate the second law of thermodynamics, the state of C must not
exist. As a result, in the immediate neighborhood of state A, state C can not be
reached from A by an adiabatic process.

(2.4). Can the second law be violated?
(2.4.1). What did the distinguished physicists say about the second law?
[A law] is more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises, the more
different are the kinds of things it relates, and the more extended its range of
applicability. Therefore, the deep impression which classical thermodynamics
made on me. It is the only physical theory of universal content, which I am
convinced, that within the framework of applicability of its basic concepts will
never be overthrown.
Albert Einstein, quoted in M.J. Klein, Thermodynamics in Einstein's Universe,
in Science, 157 (1967), p. 509.
The law that entropy always increases -- the second law of thermodynamics --
holds I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone
points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with
Maxwell's equations - then so much worse for Maxwell equations. If it is
found to be contradicted by observation - well these experimentalists do
bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second
law of Thermodynamics, I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to
collapse in deepest humiliation.

(2.4.3 ). Vortex tube – does it follow the second law?
(2.4.3.1). The principle of vortex tube
Fig. 2.4.3.1 A real vortex tube
The vortex tube is a device that produces hot and cold air streams
simultaneously at its two ends from a source of compressed air. Unlike the
traditional compression type cycle that requires several components, a vortex tube is
very simple with no moving parts.
Vortex tube was invented by French engineer Georges Ranques at 1928.
However, it was until 1946 that people started to show interest in vortex tube after a
research paper had been published by Rudolph Hilsch.
Fig. 2.4.3.2 Structure of vortex tube
A cold orifice is placed at the centre of the left end with a suitable sized hole.
Compressed air is introduced into the tube through a tangential inlet nozzle which is
located near the left end. At the right end, a conical valve is inserted to confine the
exiting air to outer regions and restrict it to the central portion of the tube. The
tangential flow imparts a vortex motion to the inlet air, and creates a cold stream in
the left end and a warm stream in the right end.
There is no theory to give a satisfactory explanation of the vortex tube
Advanced Thermodynamics, ME dept. NCHU 頁 32
phenomenon at the present time.
Does the vortex tube violate the second law of thermodynamics?
According to the Clausius Statement of the second law of thermodynamics, it is
impossible to transfer heat from a cooler body to a hotter body without doing work.
Does the separation of warm and cold air streams violate the second law?
Where is the work?
(2.4.3.2). Analysis of vortex tube
The whole process can be analyzed as the following:
The flow rate of inlet air is im,the outlet cold air is
cm , and the outlet warm air
is hm . The conservation of mass results in the relationship amnong the flow rates
as folliwing.
c h im m m
Since the process is adiabatic, and no shaft work is carried out, the energy
balance would resultthe following relationship among the enthalpies of the inlet and
outlet flows.
( )c h i c c h hm m h m h m h
Assume that air is an ideal gas with constant heat capacity, then we have a
relationship among the temperatures of inlet and outlet flows.
i i c c h hmT m T m T
Define the cold fraction as /c ix m m , the temperature relationship can be
expressed as
(1 )i c hT xT x T
In which iT is the inlet temperature,
cT is the outlet cold temperature, and hT
is the outlet warm temperature.
Advanced Thermodynamics, ME dept. NCHU 頁 33
For any given cold fraction value, the cold temperature and the warm temperature
are in linear relationship.
For example,
0.3x , 0.3 0.7c h iT T T
0.5x , 2c h iT T T
0.6x , 0.6 0.4c h iT T T
The worst case is that no cooling effect occurs in which the cold temperature and
the warm temperature are equal to the inlet temperature.
1 c hT T T
Since 1cT T and
1hT T , all possible solutions would be lying on the first quarter
of the point of 1 c hT T T , as shown in the figure below. However, not all points
lying on the segment OA are possible solution, because there is another restriction

The entropy change of the process is
( ) ( )c c h h i i c c i h h iS m s m s m s m s s m s s
Advanced Thermodynamics, ME dept. NCHU 頁 34
If air is assumed to be ideal gas with constant specific heat, then the entropy change
can be expressed as
ln( / ) ln( / )c i p c i o is s c T T R P P
ln( / ) ln( / )h i p h i o is s c T T R P P
where iP is the upstream pressure, and
oP is the down stream pressure pressures.
The total entropy change rate can be expressed as
( ) ( )c c h h i i c c i h h iS m s m s m s m s s m s s

So long as the temperature of cold air is lower that that obtained in the equation
above, the net change of entropy is positive. There is no violation of the second
law.
The lowest temperature that can be reached is no generation of entropy.

Maxwell's Demon is an imaginary creature that the physicist James Clerk
Maxwell created to demonstrate the limitation of the second law of thermodynamics.

the average speed of the molecules is a certain amount depending on the temperature.

One half of the molecules will be flying with speed faster than the average value
and the other one half will be flying slower than the average value. For example, air
at 300 K and 1 bar has the average speed of 468 m/sec.
Suppose that a partition is placed across the middle of the box separating the
two sides into left and right. Both sides of the box are now filled with the gas at the
same temperature. Maxwell imagined a molecule sized trap door in the partition with
his tiny demon poised at the door who is observing the molecules. When a faster than

average molecule approaches the door he makes sure that it ends up on the right side.
So after these operations he ends up with a box in which all the faster than average
gas molecules are in the left side and all the slower than average ones are in the right
side. So the box is hot on the left and cold on the right. Then one can use this
separation of temperature to run a heat engine by allowing the heat to flow from the
hot side to the cold side.
Fig. 2.4.4 The Maxwell demon and the partition that it operates.
Another possible action of the demon is that he can observe the molecules and
only open the door if a molecule is approaching the trap door from the right. This
would result in all the molecules ending up on the left side. Again this setup can be
used to run an engine. This time one could place a piston in the partition and allow
the gas to flow into the piston chamber thereby pushing a rod and producing useful
mechanical work.
The demon is trying to create more useful energy from the system than there
was originally. Equivalently he was decreasing the randomness of the system (by
ordering the molecules according to a certain rule) which is decreasing the entropy.
No such violation of the second law of thermodynamics has ever been found.
The demon is not a real creature, it owns the capability that we do not have. It is
of course that what it can do is not an evidence of the collapse of the second law of
thermodynamics because the second law is founded on the observations of real life.
However, it is interesting to know what should be equipped to the demon should it
could do its job, and what the cost would be for the demon to do it job.
The demon should be able to identify the particles flying towards it and to
measure the velocity of those particles such that it can make decision to open the gate
or to close the gate in time. As a result, the demon needs a light source, and uses the
light to detect the location as well as the velocity of particles. The wavelength of the
Advanced Thermodynamics, ME dept. NCHU 頁 43
light should be less than the particle size and the light intensity, which is equivalent
to the number of photons emitted from light source per second, should be comparable
to the frequency of collision of particles on wall to ensure that every particle flying
towards the gate could be detected.
Energy from a high temperature reservoir should be supplied to the light source
such that light at the required frequency and intensity could be emitted continuously.
Entropy will be generated when energy is supplied to the system. The net entropy
change would be positive if the entropy generated is considered. As a result, the
second law is not violated even a miniature demon is operating the gate.
So, does the Maxwell’s demon violate the second law?

(2.5). Perpetual Motion Machines – human’s dream to break the second law.
The lessons we learn from the thermodynamics laws are as the following.
The first law: You can’t get something from nothing.
The second law: You can get even less from something.
However, it is very tempting to invent a device that may run forever without any
input energy. For past decades of years, many applications have been send to the
bureau of patents claiming that they have the feature of perpetual motion. None of
them has been approved. As a result, the National Institute of Standards and
Technology ( NIST) has announced officially that all applications regarding
perpetual motion machine will be refused.
Perpetual motion machines can be classified as three categories.
The zeroth kind of perpetual motion machine
The first kind of perpetual motion machine
The second kind of perpetual motion machine
Some of the examples shown in the following content are taken from the web site
http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/
(2.5.1). The zeroth kind
The zeroth kind perpetual motion machine is a fault in the interpretation of
mechanics. It was presumed as a perpetual motion machine because no solid
analysis of mechanics was performed.

Water fall that never ends
Magic wheel may rotate forever
Advanced Thermodynamics, ME dept. NCHU 頁 46
Floating ball will rotate forever
A wheel in the form of a perfect sphere or cylinder rotates about a frictionless
horizontal shaft. The left side is in a chamber filled with water, perfect (frictionless
and leakage proof) seals around the rotating wheel prevent the liquid from escaping.
The left side of the wheel therefore experiences an upward buoyant force due to the
liquid it displaces. So that side will rise, and the wheel rotates clockwise.
(2.5.2). The first kind
A perpetual motion machine of the first kind produces strictly more energy than it
uses, thus violating the law of conservation of energy. Over-unity devices, that is,
devices with a thermodynamic efficiency greater than 1.0 (unity, or 100%), are
perpetual motion machines of this kind.

(2.5.2.3). Super electrolysis
You may produce more energy than that you input.
Stanley MEYER is the most famous inventor in the 'Super-efficient Electrolysis' field,
and many took inspiration from his work. His original Electrolysis Concept was able
to produce many times as much hydrogen gas as permits the Faraday's Law of
electrolysis, and the Law of Conservation of Energy, then he brought it up to a still
un-understood high level he called 'Thermal Explosive Energy'. We can say that he
was at least 50 years in advance of his time ...
Advanced Thermodynamics, ME dept. NCHU 頁 49
The evidence, then, is that his concept of electrolysis is tapping in another source of
energy, not 'recognized' yet in the classical physics, that must be in another
dimension, outside our three dimensions, and it must be a non thermal form of
energy, because Stan Cell is not producing heat while electrolyzing. There is still not
a complete consensus of the Experts in Zero Point Energy.
(2.5.3). The second kind
A perpetual motion machine of the second kind is a machine which spontaneously
converts thermal energy into mechanical work. This need not violate the law of
conservation of energy, since the thermal energy may be equivalent to the work done;
however, it does violate the second law of thermodynamics.
Note that such a machine is different from real heat engines, which always involve a
transfer of heat from a hotter reservoir to a colder one, the latter being warmed up in
the process. The signature of a perpetual motion machine of the second kind is that
there is only one single heat reservoir involved, which is being spontaneously cooled
without involving a transfer of heat to a cooler reservoir. This conversion of heat into
useful work, without any side effect, is impossible by the second law of
thermodynamics.

(2.5.3.2). Brownian ratchet
The simple machine, consisting of a tiny paddle wheel and a ratchet(棘輪), appears
to be able to extract useful work from random fluctuations (heat) in a system at
thermal equilibrium in violation of the second law of thermodynamics.
The device consists of a ratchet that rotates freely in one direction but is prevented
from rotating in the opposite direction. The ratchet is connected by an axle to a
paddle wheel that is immersed in a fluid of molecules at temperature T1. The
molecules undergo random Brownian motion. The device is small enough that the
Advanced Thermodynamics, ME dept. NCHU 頁 51
impulse from a single molecular collision can turn the paddle. Although such
collisions would tend to turn the rod in either direction with equal probability, the
pawl allows the ratchet to rotate in one direction only. The net effect of many such
random collisions should be sufficient for the ratchet to rotate continuously in that
direction. The ratchet's motion then can be used to do work on other systems.

(2.5.3.4). CO2 engine
Liquid carbon dioxide is stored in a bottle. It absorbs heat from environment and
vaporizes. High pressure CO2 vapor flows into cylinder as the ball valve is activated
and pushes the piton downwards.
It seems that it may convert heat from atmosphere to work. Does it violate the second
law?

(2.5)、The third law of thermodynamics
History
The third law was developed by Walther Nernst, during the years 1906-1912, and is
thus sometimes referred to as Nernst's theorem or Nernst's postulate. The third law
of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a system at zero is a well-defined
constant. This is because a system at zero temperature exists in its ground state, so
that its entropy is determined only by the degeneracy of the ground state; or, it states
that "it is impossible by any procedure, no matter how idealised, to reduce any
system to the absolute zero of temperature in a finite number of operations". the third
law relates to energy.
Nernst Simon Statement
The entropy change associated with any isothermal reversible process of a condensed
system approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
0lim( ) 0TT
s
This law provides an absolute reference point for the determination of entropy. The
entropy determined relative to this point is the absolute entropy.

One application of the third law is with respect to the magnetic moments of a
material. Paramagnetic materials (moments random) will order as T approaches 0 K.
They may order in a ferromagnetic sense, with all moments parallel to each other, or
Advanced Thermodynamics, ME dept. NCHU 頁 56
they may order in an antiferromagnetic sense, with all moments antiparallel to each
other.
Yet another application of the third law is the fact that at 0 K no solid solutions
should exist. Phases in equilibrium at 0 K should either be pure elements or
atomically ordered phases.
