20、mers are fabricated into useful articles they are referred to as plastics, rubbers, and fibers. Some polymers, for example, cotton and wool, occur naturally, but the great majority of commercial products are synthetic in

26、p>　　The Nature of Thermodynamics</p><p>　　Thermodynamics is one of the most important areas of engineering science used to explain how most things work, why some things do not the way that they were inten

27、ded, and why others things just cannot possibly work at all. It is a key part of the science engineers use to design automotive engines, heat pumps, rocket motors, power stations, gas turbines, air conditioners, super-co

28、nducting transmission lines, solar heating systems, etc. </p><p>　　Thermodynamics centers about the notions of energy, the idea that energy is conserved is the first low of thermodynamics. It is starting poi

29、nt for the science of thermodynamics is entropy; entropy provides a means for determining if a process is possible.</p><p>　　This idea is the basis for the second low of thermodynamics. It also provides the

30、basis for an engineering analysis in which one calculates the maximum amount of useful that can be obtained from a given energy source, or the minimum amount of power input required to do a certain task.</p><p

31、>　　A clear understanding of the ideas of entropy is essential for one who needs to use thermodynamics in engineering analysis. Scientists are interested in using thermodynamics to predict and relate the properties of

32、matter; engineers are interested in using this data, together with the basic ideas of energy conservation and entropy production, to analyze the behavior of complex technological systems.</p><p>　　There is a

33、n example of the sort of system of interest to engineers, a large central power stations. In this particular plant the energy source is petroleum in one of several forms, or sometimes natural gas, and the plant is to con

34、vert as much of this energy as possible to electric energy and to send this energy down the transmission line.</p><p>　　Simply expressed, the plant does this by boiling water and using the steam to turn a tu

35、rbine which turns an electric generator.</p><p>　　The simplest such power plants are able to convert only about 25 percent of the fuel energy to electric energy. But this particular plant converts approximat

36、ely 40 percent; it has been ingeniously designed through careful application of the basic principles of thermodynamics to the hundreds of components in the system.</p><p>　　The design engineers who made thes

37、e calculations used data on the properties of steam developed by physical chemists who in turn used experimental measurements in concert with thermodynamics theory to develop the property data.</p><p>　　Plan

38、ts presently being studied could convert as much as 55 percent of the fuel energy to electric energy, if they indeed perform as predicted by thermodynamics analysis. </p><p>　　The rule that the spontaneous

39、flow of heat is always from hotter to cooler objects is a new physical idea. There is noting in the energy conservation principle or in any other law of nature that specifies for us the direction of heat flow. If energy

40、were to flow spontaneously from a block of ice to a surrounding volume of water, this could occur in complete accord with energy conservation. But such a process never happens. This idea is the substance of the second la

41、w of thermodynamics.</p><p>　　Clear, a refrigerator, which is a physical system used in kitchen refrigerators, freezers, and air-conditioning units must obey not only the first law (energy conservation) but

42、the second law as well.</p><p>　　To see why the second law is not violated by a refrigerator, we must be careful in our statement of law. The second law of thermodynamics says, in effect, that heat never flo

43、ws spontaneously from a cooler to a hotter object.</p><p>　　Or, alternatively, heat can flow from a cooler to a hotter object only as a result of work done by an external agency. We now see the distinction b

44、etween an everyday spontaneous process, such as the flow of heat from the inside to the outside of a refrigerator.</p><p>　　In the water-ice system, the exchange of energy takes place spontaneously and the f

45、low of heat always proceeds from the water to the ice. The water gives up energy and becomes cooler while the ice receives energy and melts.</p><p>　　In a refrigerator, on the other hand, the exchange of ene

46、rgy is not spontaneous. Work provided by an external agency is necessary to reverse the natural flow of heat and cool the interior at the expense of further heating the warmer surroundings. </p><p><b
