Short Version : 16. Temperature & Heat

16.1. Heat , Temperature & Thermodynamic Equilibrium

Thermodynamic equilibrium:State at which macroscopic properties of system remains unchanged over time.

Examples of macroscopic properties:

L, V, P, , , …

0th law of thermodynamics:2 systems in thermodynamic equilibrium with a 3rd system are themselves in equilibrium.

2 systems are in thermal contact if heating one of them changes the other.

Otherwise, they are thermally insulated.

Two systems have the same temperature

they are in thermodynamic equilibrium

Example 16.4. Cost of Oil

The walls of a house consist of plaster ( = 0.17 ), -11 fiberglass

insulation, plywood ( = 0.65 ), and cedar shingles ( = 0.55 ).

The roof is the same except it uses -30 fiberglass insulation.

In winter, average T outdoor is 20 F, while the house is at 70 F.

The house’s furnace produces 100,000 BTU for every gallon of oil,

which costs $2.20 per gallon. How much is the monthly cost?

Convection

Convection = heat transfer by fluid motion

T rises

Convection cells in liquid film between glass plates(Rayleigh-Bénard convection, Benard cells)

Radiation

Glow of a stove burner it loses energy by radiation

4Pe T

AStefan-Boltzmann law for radiated power:

= Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67108 W / m2 K4.

A = area of emitting surface.

0 < e < 1 is the emissivity ( effectiveness in emitting radiation ).

e = 1 perfect emitter & absorber ( black body ).

Black objects are good emitters & absorbers.

Shiny objects are poor emitters & absorbers.

Wien‘s displacement law : max = b / T

P T4 Radiation dominates at high T.

Wavelength of peak radiation becomes shorter as T increases.

Sun ~ visible light.

Near room T ~ infrared.

Conceptual Example 15.1. Energy-Saving Windows

Why do double-pane windows reduce heat loss greatly compared with single-paned windows?

Why is a window’s -factor higher if the spacing between panes is small?

And why do the best windows have “low-E” coatings?

Thermal conductivity (see Table 16.2):Glass k ~ 0.8 W/mK Air k ~ 0.026 W/mK

Layer of air reduces heat loss greatly & increases the -factor .

This is so unless air layer is so thick that convection current develops.

“low-E” means low emissivity, which reduces energy loss by radiation.

Making the Connection

Compare the for a single pane window made from 3.0-mm-thick glass with that of a double-pane window make from the same glass with a 5.0-mm air gap between panes.
