The most efficient process: the Carnot cycle
Carnot engine is an idealisation.
We’ll use an ideal gas as our working substance.
Carnot cycle may be constructed from a combination of adiabatic and isothermal compressions and expansions.

The Einstein model of a solid revisited
Back in Lecture 1, the model to the right was introduced. In Lecture 12, we simplified this model further and considered the Einstein model…….
Furthermore, replace each 3D oscillator (i.e. each atom) with three independent 1D oscillators (x, y, z).
Consider each atom in solid as moving independently of its neighbours.

Specific heats and equipartition of energy: revision
In a solid there are no translational or rotational degrees of freedom – only vibrational degrees of freedom remain.

Specific heats and equipartition of energy
Specific heat capacity, C = = 3R
for a solid according to the equipartition of energy theorem.
How does this compare to the experimental results?

3R
Only at high temperatures is a value of 3R for C observed.
?? Why do we measure a value of 3R only at high temperatures?

Only if the spacing of energy levels is small relative to kT will we reach the classical limit where the equipartition theorem is a good approximation.

Thermal conductivity in solids
NB Note that the following equation, which we definedpreviously for gases also holds for solids:
dz
dTA
dt
dQ
dT/dz is the temperature gradient.Rate of heat flow (heat current)
is the coefficient of thermal conductivity and A is the cross-sectional area.

Thermal expansion
The final topic we’ll cover (briefly) in the module brings us back to Lecture 1 when we considered potential energy curves…..
U(r)
r
With increasing temperature the inter-atomic bond length increases (centre of oscillations shifts to larger r). Hence object expands at higher temperatures.

A worked example on thermal conductivity…
The cavity wall of a modern house consists of two 10 cm thick brick walls separated by a 15 cm air gap. If the temperature inside the house is 25°C and outside is 0°C, calculate the rate of heat loss by conduction per unit area. [For this temperature range, brick = 0.8 Wm-1K-1 and air = 0.023 Wm-1K-1]
NB Note that heat current must be conserved as we pass from brick to air to brick.

Alternatively…..
Consider: • I equivalent to dQ/dt, • V equivalent to temperature difference• R equivalent to thermal resistance

Thermal resistance, R = x/(kA) {1}
RCu = 0.1/(401 x 4 x 10-4) = 0.623 K/W {+}
Using a similar approach, RAg = 0.583 K/W {+}
1/REq = 1/RCu + 1/RCu {1}
1/REq = 0.301 K/W {+}

Q1. 1 mole of an ideal gas originally at a pressure of 1.0 x 104 Pa and occupying a volume of 0.2 m3 undergoes the following cyclic process:
(i) an adiabatic compression until the pressure is 3.0 x 104 Pa;(ii) an isobaric expansion to a volume of 0.4 m3;(iii) an isothermal expansion until the pressure reaches 1.0 x 104 Pa;(iv) an isobaric compression to the original volume of 0.2 m3.
Draw a PV diagram for this process [3].
For each of the stages (i) – (iv) calculate the heat transferred [5], the work done [5], and the change in internal energy [5].
Show that only internal energy is a function of state [2].
