Thermodynamic laws, entrophy and CPH Theory

this document written by Hossein Javadi from Azad University, this article take a new at thermodynamics laws and entropy according the CPH theory.

Heat energy in CPH theory

In CPH theory, energy is same as matter with high speed. In the other word, energy moves with speed of light c, and matter moves with speed of v, that v < c.
So, speed of heat is c, too, because it is a kind of energy.
In CPH theory everything (All fundamental particles) is made of CPH. So, a moving particle has two kinds of CPH, one kind made particle and other kind gives its energy. A moving particle is able to loses its energy without loses itself properties. How we can define "Basic level energy of a fundamental particle" such as electron?
CPH theory's definition of basic level energy of a fundamental particle is based on their properties. A fundamental particle such as an electron has a few properties that does differ it from other particles. If an electron loses one of these properties, then it is not an electron. If a fundamental particle loses all its energy, without losing itself substantial properties, then it is at basic level of energy.

Thermodynamics tutorial heat pump and refrigeration

Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space, or from a substance, and rejecting it elsewhere for the primary purpose of lowering the temperature of the enclosed space or substance and then maintaining that lower temperature. The term cooling refers generally to any natural or artificial process by which heat is dissipated. The process of artificially producing extreme cold temperatures is referred to as cryogenics.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Compressed Air Vehicle Propulsion

by : European Fuel Cell Forum

The fist compressed air vehicles were built by Andraud and Tessié du Motay in
Paris between 1838 and 1840. Since then the idea has been tried again and
again, but has never reached commercialization. In recent years the French
developer MDI has demonstrated advanced compressed air vehicles. However,
the claimed performance has been questioned by car manufacturers and
automobile expert. Basically, when referred to ambient conditions, the relatively
low energy content of the compressed air in a tank of acceptable volume is
claimed to be insufficient to move even small cars over meaningful distances

On the other hand, another air car developer claims to have driven 184 km on
one 300 Liter filled with air at initially 300 bar pressure. Obviously, there are
issues to be resolved, not by heated debates, but by an analysis of the
thermodynamic processes involved. This is the aim of this study

Selected Values of Chemical Thermodynamic Properties

Prepared by David R. Lide.
Introduction
The theoretical framework of thermodynamics was well established by the time NBS was founded, and certain important applications, such as improving the efficiency of steam engines, had been demonstrated. However, the broad application of hermodynamics to the design and control of industrial processes had to await the accumulation and organization of a large amount of experimental data, as well as theoretical contributions from quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. The appearance of Selected Values of Chemical Thermodynamic Properties [1] in 1952 marked a significant milestone in this process. This book represented the culmination of 20 years of work
by Frederick D. Rossini and coworkers in evaluating and systematizing the data that had appeared in the world literature on thermochemistry.

Thermodynamic Properties of Liquid Alkali Metals Using a Charged Hard, Sphere Reference System

this journal now available and free download able at Chinese journal of physics, written by P. B. Thakor, V. N. Patel, P. N. Gajjar, and A. R. Jani from Department of Physics, Sardar Patel University, Gujarat, India, introduce The Gibbs-Bogoliubov (GB) inequality, the experiment results : Structure of liquid metals,Thermodynamic properties,Pseudopotential method.

abstraction

The Gibbs-Bogoliubov (GB) inequality is used to evaluate the Helmholtz free energy of
liquid alkali metals as a function of temperature. The structural contribution to the Helmholtz free energy is investigated by adopting a charged hard sphere fluid model. A well established single parametric local pseudopotential is applied to describe the electron-ion interaction along with five different local field correction functions viz; Hartree, Taylor, Ichimaru and Utsumi, Farid et al., and Sarkar et al., 6.2% to 51.15% of the influence on the Helmholtz free energy is concluded to be due to these local field correction functions with respect to the static Hartree dielectric function. Very good agreement with experimental results is achieved.

engineering thermodynamic steam and gas turbine power plant

The gas-turbine operates on the principle of the Brayton cycle, where compressed air is mixed with fuel, and burned under constant pressure conditions. The resulting hot gas is allowed to expand through a turbine to perform work. In a 33% efficient gas-turbine approximately two / thirds of this work is spent compressing the air, the rest is available for other work

System and Boundary in thermodynamic

A thermodynamic system is defined as a quantity of matter or a region in space chosen for analysis,

surrounding or environment
is can defined as the mass or region outside the system or everything external to the system

boundary

The closed surface that separates the system from its surroundings, through which energy and mass may enter or leave the system.
Boundaries can be fixed or movable Boundaries can be real (cylinder walls and piston surfaces in an internal combustion engine) , In many cases, a thermodynamic analysis must be made of a device, such as a heat exchanger, that involves a flow of mass into and/or out of the device.
Boundaries can also be imaginary (cross sections of pipes at the entrance and exit of turbines)
It is possible to subdivide a system into subsystems, or to group several systems together into a larger system



Thermodynamic System Types
There are three kinds of systems depending on the kinds of exchanges taking place between a thermodynamic system and its environment : isolated, closed and open system

isolated systems: is one with rigid walls that has no communication (i.e., no heat, mass,or work transfer) with its surroundings. An example of an isolated system would be an insulated container, such as an insulated gas cylinder

closed systems: system is one in which the system mass cannot cross the boundary, but energy
can (heat or work). A greenhouse is an example of a closed system exchanging heat but not work with its environment. Whether a system exchanges heat, work or both is usually thought of as a property of its boundary, which can be
adiabatic boundary: not allowing heat exchange;
rigid boundary: not allowing exchange of work
so we can get conclusion the important point of closed system are :

• Consists of a fixed amount of mass
  
• No mass can cross its boundary
  
• No mass can enter or leave a closed system Volume does not have to be fixed
  
• But energy, in the form of heat or work can cross the boundary
  
• when the piston rises, the boundary of the system moves Heat and work crosses the boundary of the system during this process but not mass
  

open systems:system is one in which mass can cross the system boundary in addition to energy. A boundary allowing matter exchange is called permeable. The ocean would be an example of an open system
so we can get conclusion the important point of closed system are :

• The procedure in such an analysis is to specify control volume that surrounds the device under consideration
  
• The boundaries of a control volume are called a control surface
  
• Mass as well as heat and work can flow across the control surface
  

from picture below we can see open system and closed system, where even energy is not
allowed to cross the boundary in closed system, that system is called an isolated system.

Fourier's law of heat conduction

The basis of conduction heat transfer is Fourier’s Law. This law involves the idea that the heat flux is. Thermal conductivity, k, a property of proportional to the temperature gradient in any direction materials that is temperature dependent, is the constant of proportionality.
Heat always conducts from warmer objects to cooler objects. The composition of a material effects its conduction rate. If a copper rod and an iron rod are joined together end to end, and the ends placed in heat sources, the heat will conduct through the copper end more quickly than the iron end because copper has a K value of 92, whereas, iron has a K value of 11.
It should be noted that heat can also be transferred by Thermal radiation and/or convection, and often more than one of these processes occur in a particular situation.
The law of heat conduction, also known as Fourier's law, states that the rate, in time, of heat transfer through a material is proportional to the negative gradient in the temperature and to the area at right angles, to that gradient, through which the heat is flowing:


In many systems the area A is a function of the distance in the direction n. One important extension is heat conduction equation.that this can be combined with the first law of thermodynamics to yield the For constant thermal conductivity, this is given as



In this equation, a is the thermal diffusivity and is the internal heat generation per unit volume.qG
Some problems, typically steady-state, one-dimensional formulations where only the heat flux is desired,can be solved simply from Equation (4.1.1). Most conduction analyses are performed with Equation(4.1.2). In the latter, a more general approach, the temperature distribution is found from this equationand appropriate boundary conditions. Then the heat flux, if desired, is found at any location using Equation (4.1.1). Normally, it is the temperature distribution that is of most importance. For example,it may be desirable to know through analysis if a material will reach some critical temperature, like its melting point. Less frequently the heat flux is desired.
While there are times when it is simply desired to understand what the temperature response of a structure is, the engineer is often faced with a need to increase or decrease heat transfer to some specificlevel. Examination of the thermal conductivity of materials gives some insight into the range of possibilities that exist through simple conduction. Of the more common engineering materials, pure copper exhibits one of the higher abilities to conduction heat with a thermal conductivity approaching 400 W/m2 K. Aluminum, also considered to be a good conductor, has a thermal conductivity a little over half that of copper. To increase the heat transfer above
values possible through simple conduction, more-involved designs are necessary that incorporate a variety of other heat transfer modes like convection and phase change.
Decreasing the heat transfer is accomplished with the use of insulations. A separate discussion of these follows.

Insulations
The term thermal insulation can refer to materials used to reduce the rate of heat transfer, or the methods and processes used to reduce heat transfer. Thermal insulation is the method of preventing heat from escaping a container or from entering the container. In other words, thermal insulation can keep an enclosed area such as a building warm, or it can keep the inside of a container cold. Heat is transferred from one material to another by conduction, convection and/or radiation. Insulators are used to minimize the transfer of heat energy. In home insulation, the R-value is an indication of how well a material insulates. The major types of insulation are associated with the major types of heat transfer.

Insulations are used to decrease heat flow and to decrease surface temperatures. These materials are loose fill, batt, and rigid. Even a gas, like air, can be a good found in a variety of forms, typically insulator if it can be kept from moving when it is heated or cooled. A vacuum is an excellent insulator.Usually, though, the engineering approach to insulation is the addition of a low-conducting material to the surface. While there are many chemical forms, costs, and maximum operating temperatures of common forms of insulations, it seems that when a higher operating temperature is required, many times the thermal conductivity and cost of the insulation will also be higher. Loose-fill insulations include such materials as milled aluminasilica (maximum operating temperature and thermal conductivities in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 W/m K) and perlite (maximum operating of 1260 C and thermal conductivities in the range of 0.05 to 1.5 W/m K). Batt-type temperature of 980 insulations include one of the more common types — glass fiber. This type of insulation comes in avariety of densities, which, in turn, have a profound affect on the thermal conductivity. Rigid insulations show conducttivities for glass fiber insulations can range from about 0.03 to 0.06 W/m a very wide range of forms and performance characteristics. For example, a rigid insulation in foam form, polyurethane, is very lightweight, shows a very low thermal conductivity (about 0.02 W/m K),C. Rigid insulations in refractory form but has a maximum operating temperature only up to about 120 show quite different characteristics. For example, high-alumina brick is quite dense, has a thermal k, but can remain operational to temperatures around 1760C. Many conductivity of about 2 W/m insulations are characterized in the book edited by Guyer (1989).Often, commercial insulation systems designed for high-temperature operation use a layered approach.Temperature tolerance may be critical. Perhaps a refractory is applied in the highest temperature region,an intermediate-temperature foam insulation is used in the middle section, and a high-performance, low-temperature insulation is used on the outer side near ambient conditions.Analyses can be performed including the effects of temperature variations of thermal conductivity.However, the most frequent approach is to assume that the thermal conductivity is constant at some
temperature between the two extremes experienced by the insulation.

Thermo History

Although various aspects of what is now known as thermodynamics have been of interest since antiquity, heat:
formal study began only in the early 19th century through consideration of the motive power of work. Today the scope is larger, dealing generally with energy and
the capacity of hot bodies to produce , and with relationships among the properties of matter. Moreover, in the past 25 years engineering entropy
thermodynamics has undergone a revolution, both in terms of the presentation of fundamentals and in the manner that it is applied. In particular, the second law of thermodynamics has emerged as an effective
tool for engineering analysis and design.
