​What is property of thermodynamic system?


• A property of a system is an observable characteristic of the system.
• The quantities which define the state of the system are called properties.
• Whose value must be independent of the process
• The property is a point function


​Classification of properties


Thermodynamic properties are generally divided into two classes

1. Intensive properties:

These are independent of mass of the substance Eg: pressure, temperature, density, specific gravity, specific volume,
surface tension, thermal conductivity etc.
​

2. Extensive properties:

These are dependent on mass of the substance
Examples: mass, weight, enthalpy, entropy, internal energy etc.
​

State:


• State of the system is a condition and is identified through certain observable properties such as pressure, volume, temperature, density etc.
• Two independent properties are sufficient to represent the state.

​Path:


• The path is the series of states through which the system passes represented as shown in fig.


​Thermodynamic process


• Thermodynamic process: A system is said to have undergone a process when heat and work cross its boundary (state change)
• A system is said to have undergone a process if change of state occurs.

Examples of thermodynamic processes:


1. Expansion or compression of a gas
2. Expansion of steam through a nozzle
3. Conversion of water into steam


​What is quasistatic process?


• The process during which the system remains almost in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium from one end state to other end state is called quasi static process.
• A system exists in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium when no change in anymacroscopic property is registered if the system isolated from surroundings.

​What is the thermodynamic cycle?


• When a system from a given state undergoes a number of different processes and finally return to its initial state, then the system is said to have under gone a cycle.
• Any process whose end states are identical is called a cycle.
• Example: water (steam) that circulates through a steam power plant under goes a cycle

​
• In the fig the system has under gone a process
• from State 1 to state 2 along path A And again from State 2 to state 1 along path B System returns to its initial state completing a cycle


​Pressure


• Pressure of a gas is the force exerted by it per unit area on the sides or walls of the container due to the continuous collision of gas molecule.
• or Simply the force normal to the unit area of surface is called pressure acting on the surface.


​Units of pressure


• The S.I unit of pressure is Pascal.
• 1 Pascal = 1N/m2
• 1KPa =10³ N/m2
• 1 MPa =10⁶ N/m2
• 1 GPa = 10⁹ N/m2

Additional units of pressure are bar and atm
• 1 bar =10⁵ N/m2 =100 KN/m² =100Kpa
• 1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 1.01325 bar


​Atmospheric pressure


• The normal force exerted by the atmospheric air on a unit system area is called atmospheric pressure.
• Atmospheric pressure is measured by the mercury barometer.
• The standard atm pressure is taken as 760 mm Hg.
• 760 mm Hg =1.01325 bar = 101.325 KN /m² =101.325Kpa


​Gauge Pressure


• The pressure recorded by the instrument pressure gauge above the atmospheric is called gauge pressure.
• The gauge measures the difference between the fluid pressure and pressure of fluid surrounding of the gauge (Generally air).


​Vacuum Pressure (Pvac)


• When pressure of the system is less than atmospheric pressure, the gauge reads on the negative side of the atmospheric pressure. This Pressure is known as Vacuum or negative pressure.


​Absolute Pressure (Pabs or P)


• Absolute zero pressure will occur when molecules momentum is zero. Such a situation occurs only when there is perfect vacuum. The pressure measured from this level is called absolute pressure.
• Absolute pressure is obtained by the following relations.
• Absolute pressure = Atm Pressure + Gauge Pressure
• P abs = P atm + P g
• Absolute pressure= Atmospheric pressure –Vacuum Pressure
• P abs = P atm - P vac


​Volume


• Volume is the space occupied by the substance
• Volume per unit mass of a substance is called Specific Volume.
• Units volume (V) m3 or liters
• Specific Volume (v) m3 / kg
• 10³ liters = 1 m³
• Or 1 Litre = 10-³ m³


​Density


• Density is the reciprocal of the Specific Volume
• Density, (rho)= 1/v = m/V Kg/m3
where,
• m = mass
• v = specific volume
• V = volume
