1—The problem and the postulates

Temporal nature of macroscopic measurements
• Complete (microscopic) description of (macroscopic) matter: positions and momenta of all molecules … ~1023 values (~NA)
• vs. macroscopic coordinates aka thermodynamic coordinates.
• Macroscopic measurements are extremely slow on the atomic scale of time (atomic vibrations ~10−15 s), and are extremely coarse on the atomic scale of distance (~10−9 m).
• By definition (← macroscopic observations), thermodynamics describes only static states of macroscopic systems.
• Regarding coarseness of time scale: ~NA molecules and their coordinates (positions, momenta) → only few are time-independent. Obvious candidates for thermodynamic variables are total E (energy), total p (momentum), total L (angular momentum).
3
Spatial nature of macroscopic measurements
• Macroscopic measurements are extremely slow on the atomic scale of time (atomic vibrations ~10−15 s), and are extremely coarse on the atomic scale of distance (~10−9 m).
• Macroscopic observations, using “blunt” instruments, only sense coarse spatial averages of atomic coordinates.
• For example, of all the vibrational modes at various wavelengths (and frequencies), only the longest wavelength mode “survives” the spatial and the time averaging → volume in macroscopic description.
• Thermodynamics is concerned with the macroscopic consequences of all those coordinates, that do not appear explicitly in a macroscopic description of a system.
• These “hidden” modes may act as repositories of energy. Energy transfer via hidden modes → heat. (Compare to energy transfer associated with a macroscopic coordinate, e.g., changing volume → mechanical work −P dV.)
4
Composition of thermodynamic systems• We (temporarily) restrict our attention to simple systems, defined as systems that are:
• macroscopically homogeneous,
• isotropic,
• uncharged,
• large enough to neglect surface effects,
• not acted on by electric, magnetic, gravity fields.
• Relevant quantities (parameters):
• V …volume (m3) … mechanical parameter
• Nk (k = 1,…r) … number of molecules (in units of moles) in each of the chemically pure components of which the system is a mixture … chemical composition
• Both V and Nk are extensive parameters = increase in system’s size proportionally increases V and Nk

Internal energy• Conservation of energy … a principle developed over ~2.5 centuries (1693 Leibnitz
through 1930 Pauli)
• 1798 Count Rumford … thermal effects as he bore cannons → Humphry Davy, Sadi Carnot, Robert Mayer, James Joule … heat as a form of energy transfer
• Macroscopic systems have definite and precise energies, subject to a definite conservation principle.
6
Postulate (0) For a macroscopic system there exists an energy function U, the internal energy. U is an extensive parameter and is measured relative to the energy in a fiducial state, the energy of which is arbitrarily taken as zero.
Thermodynamic equilibrium• Macroscopic systems exhibit some memory. This memory eventually fades (fast or very
slowly) toward a simple state, independent of memory.
• In all systems there is a tendency to evolve toward states in which the properties are determined by intrinsic factors and not by previously applied external influences. Such simple states are, by definition, time independent. They are called equilibrium states. Thermodynamics describes these equilibrium states.
• Experimental observations as well as formal simplicity suggest (and ultimately verified by the derived theory’s success):
7
Postulate 1 There exist particular states (equilibrium states) of simple systems that, macro- scopically, are characterized completely by the internal energy U, the volume V, and the mole numbers N1,…,Nr of the chemical components.
• N.B.:• There will be more parameters for more involved systems.
• Is system in equilibrium? Quiescence not sufficient condition. Inconsistencies with thermodynamics formalism are a sign of non-equilibrium.
• equilibrium—ergodicity…• Few real systems (…none?) are in equilibrium.
Walls and constraints• Manipulations of a wall (separation from surrounding, boundary condition)
of a thermodynamics system → redistribution of a quantity.
• Walls can be restrictive or non-restrictive to a change in a particular extensive parameter (i.e., a wall may constrain the parameter or allow it to change). For example, a rigidly fixed piston in a cylinder constitutes a wall restrictive with respect to volume, whereas a movable piston is non-restrictive w.r.t volume.
• Walls can be restrictive / non-restrictive w.r.t.:• flow of heat … adiabatic vs. diathermal• flux of matter• doing work
8
Callen calls this “closed”
Measurability of the energy
• Ok, ∃U (internal energy). But can we control it a measure it?
• Stirring an ice+water system (in a container) causes it to melt faster (transfer of mechanical energy). Shining sun also causes it to melt faster (inflow of heat); changing the walls (e.g., different material) can decrease the rate of ice melting.
• Wall impermeable (restrictive) to heat flow = adiabaticWall permeable to heat flow = diathermalWall allowing the flux of neither work nor heat = restrictive w.r.t. energy Wall restrictive w.r.t. U and V and Nk = closed
• Simple system enclosed in an impermeable adiabatic wall: work is the only permissible type of energy transfer. Since we can quantify mechanical work, we can “measure” the internal energy change of the system.
• In summary: There exists walls, called adiabatic, with the property that the work done in taking an adiabatically enclosed system between two given states is determined entirely by the states, independent of all external conditions. The work done is the difference in the internal energy of the two states. Thus, changes in internal energy can be measured.

1845 Joule: "The Mechanical Equivalent of Heat"
10
An experiment, in which he specified a numerical value for the amount of mechanical work required to produce a unit of heat … to raise the temperature of a pound of water by 1ºF and found a consistent value of 778.24 foot pound force (4.1550 J·cal−1).
Two states, A and B.A → B or B → A possible,
but not both.Concept of irreversibility.
Quantitative definition of heat • ∆U between any two equilibrium states is measurable:
• The heat flux to a system in any process (at constant mole numbers) is simply the difference in internal energy between the final and initial states, diminished by the work done in that process.
• Quasi-static mechanical work: … e.g., compression, displacing a piston in a cylinder… work on the system vs. by the system
• Quasi-static heat in an infinitesimal quasi-static process (at constant mole Nj):

δWM = − PdV
δQ = dU − δWM
= dU + PdV
δQ, δWM … imperfect differentials, depend on process
Units of energy, heat, work: joule or J or kg⋅m2⋅s−2
The basic problem of thermodynamics • One central problem that defines the core of thermodynamic theory:
12
The single, all-encompassing problem of thermodynamics is the determination of the equilibrium state that eventually results after the removal of internal constraints in a closed, composite system.

The entropy maximum postulate • The simplest conceivable formal solution to the basic problem:
extremum principle — U, V, Nk such that they maximize some function.
13
Postulate 2 There exists a function (called the entropy S) of the extensive parameters of any composite system, defined for all equilibrium states and having the following property: The values assumed by the extensive parameters in the absence of an internal constraint are those that maximize the entropy over the manifold of constrained equilibrium states.
• N.B.:• ∃ of S only postulated for equilibrium states • If S = S(U,V,Nk) (i.e., the fundamental relation) is known, problem is solved.

Postulate 4 is an extension, due to Planck, of the so-called Nernst postulate or third law of thermodynamics.

Postulate 2 There exists a function (called the entropy S) of the extensive parameters of any composite system, defined for all equilibrium states and having the following property: The values assumed by the extensive parameters in the absence of an internal constraint are those that maximize the entropy over the manifold of constrained equilibrium states.
Physics proof of the equivalence (max-S vs. min-U)
max S ⇒ min U
• Assume system in equilibrium but U not minimized (given S).
• Then we could withdraw some energy from system in the form of work, maintaining S constant.
• We could return the energy to the system in the form of heat.
• Now the system is restored to its original energy, but entropy has increased. This is a contradiction with the initial assumption of equilibrium (i.e., max S). Therefore, at equilibrium, U must be minimized for a given S.

min U ⇒ max S
• Inversely, assume system in equilibrium but S not maximized (given U).
• Then we could extract heat from a RHS (initially at Tsystem) and deposit it in a RWS. The RHS is thereby cooled. The entropy of the system therefore increases, while U remains unchanged.
• Now we could restore the RHS to its original temperature by flow of heat from the system.
• The system is restored to its original entropy, but energy has decreased. This is a contradiction with the initial assumption of equilibrium (i.e., min U). Therefore, at equilibrium, S must be maximized for a given U.

Note:
1. Analogy to isoperimetric problem in geometry:A circle may be characterized either as the two-dimensional figure of maximum area for a given perimeter, or as the two-dimendional figure of minimum perimeter for a given area.
2. Using the energy minimum principle results in the same conditions of equilibrium as we had before using the entropy maximum principle (equality of T, P, μj).
Perhaps simply eliminate X between these two equations, and write ?
Toward Legendre transformations

• In both U and S-representations: extensive parameters … independent, intensive parameters … derived
• In laboratory: Often some intensive parameters easier to measure, control (esp. S vs. T)
• Is it possible to recast the formalism with a different set of independent parameters?
• That is, given the fundamental relation Y = Y(X0, X1, …, Xt), find a method where Pk = ∂Y/∂Xk can be considered as independent variables, without any loss of information contained in the original fundamental relation.
Now, for simplicity:Y = Y(P)
P ≡dYdX
Y = Y(X )
But we would sacrifice some of the mathematical content.
Better way: Exploit the duality between conventional point geometry and Pluecker line geometry.

Maxwell relations
61
• In practical applications, often partial derivatives have to be evaluated (e.g., ∂T/∂P|S,N, …)
• Can involve both extensive an intensive parameters, thermodynamic potentials.
• Of all such derivatives, only three can be independent, and any given derivative can be expressed in terms of an arbitrarily chosen set of three basic derivatives.
• Conventionally, one chooses: cP, α, κT.
• That is, all first derivatives can be written in terms of second derivatives of the Gibbs potential, of which cP, α, and κT constitute a complete independent set (at constant mole numbers).
• The procedure: “reduction of derivatives”

1. If the derivative contains any potentials, bring them one by one to the numerator and eliminate by the thermodynamic square.
2. If the derivative contains the chemical potential, bring it to the numerator and eliminate by means of the Gibbs–Duhem relation.
3. If the derivative contains entropy, bring it to the numerator. If one of the four Maxwell relations of the thermodynamic square now eliminates the entropy, invoke it. If the Maxwell relations do not eliminate the entropy, put a ∂T under ∂S. The numerator will then be expressible as one of the specific heats (cV or cP).
4. Bring the volume to the numerator. The remaining derivative will be expressible in terms of α and κT.
5. The originally given derivative has now been expressed in terms os the four quantities cV, cP ,α and κT. The specific heat at constant volume is eliminated by the equation cV = cP − Tvα2/κT.
