Thermal Equilibrium:- Two systems are said to be in thermal equilibrium
with each other if they have the same temperature.
Thermo dynamical system:- An assembly of large numbers of particles
having same temperature, pressure etc is called thermo dynamical system.
Thermodynamic variables :- The variables which determine the
thermodynamic behavior of a system are called thermodynamic variables
Zeroth law of Thermodynamics :- IT states that if two system A and B are in
thermal equilibrium with a third system C , then the two system A and B are
also in thermal equilibrium with each other.
Thermodynamic Process :- A thermodynamic process is said to be taking
place , if the thermodynamic variable of the system change with time.
Types of thermodynamic Process:-
(1) Isothermal process – process taking place at constant temperature.
(2) Adiabatic process – process where there is no exchange of heat.
(3) Isochoric process – process taking place at constant volume
(4) Isobaric process –Process taking place at constant Pressure.
(5) Cyclic process:- Process where the system returns to its original state.
Equation of state : A relation between pressure, volume and temperature
for a system is called its equation of state .
Indicator diagram (P-V diagram) :- The graphical representation of the
state of a system with the help of two thermodynamical variables is called
indicator diagram of the system.
Internal energy of a gas :- It is the sum of kinetic energy and the
intermolecular potential energy of the molecules of the gas. Internal energy is
a function of temperature.
First law of Thermodynamics :- It states that if an amount of heat dQ I
added to a system , a part of heat is used in increasing its internal energy
while the remaining part of heat may be used up as the external work done
dW by the system.

Mathematically dQ=dU+dW
dQ=dU+ PdV.
Work done during expansion / compression of gas:- When the volume of
gas changes from V1 to V2 , the work done is given by W= ∮ = Area
under the P -V diagram.
Thermodynamical operations are
(1) Isothermal process : A thermodynamic process that takes place at
constant temperature is called an isothermal
process.
- Equation of state for isothermal process : PV = constant.
- Work done during an isothermal process
W iso = RT loge = 2.303 RT loge
(2) Adiabatic process : A thermodynamic process that takes place in such a
manner that no heat enters or leaves the system is called adiabatic process
Equation of state for adiabatic process
(i) PV γ = constant (ii) TV γ-1 =constant (iii)
=constant

Reversible process :- It is a process in which the system can be retraced to
its original state by reversing the condiditions.
Irreversible process:- It is a process in which the system cannot be retraced
to its original state by reversing the conditions.
