1. classical
describes macroscopic systems in equilibrium in
thermo-
terms of a few measurable variables
dynamics
If two systems are in thermodynamic
2. 0th law of
equilibrium with a third system, then they are in
ther-
thermal equilibrium with each other.
modynamics
3. thermoscope a precursor to the thermometer - if the third body
from the 0th law is heated and changes visibly,
then it can be used as one of these to verify
equality of temperature or to rank bodies
according to temperature
4. thermometer a calibrated thermoscope - Any thermoscope can
be used to define a numerical temperature scale
over some range
5. what led to thermoscopes based on the volumes of gases
the ideal gas/ab-
solute tempera-
ture scale?
6. first law of any change in internal energy E of a system is
ther- due to the amount of heat added to it and the
modynamics work done on it
7. adiabatic A process in which no heat is transferred to or
process from the system by its surroundings.
Q=0
8. heat engine a device that converts thermal energy into
mechanical
energy - the net work done by the system is equal
to
the net heat transferred to the system (won't be
a perfect system in all likelihood)
