Name: Kendall Widdel E-mail address: kwiddel@vols.utk.edu Laboratory 10 Report The purpose of this experiment is to see how heat works and understand the second law of thermodynamics mass Work done by heat engine from P-V diagram (J) Change in potential energy of mass (J) % difference 0.1 kg 0.012 0.013 10% The engine starts with an empty platform and the air chamber in ice water. What happens to the pressure and the volume when the mass is placed on the platform? The pressure increases and then decreases, and the volume decreases when the mass is placed on the platform What happens to the pressure and the volume as the air chamber is moved from the cold into the hot water? The pressure remains the same and the volume increases when the air chamber is moved from the cold water into the hot water What happens to the pressure and the volume as the mass is removed from the platform? The pressure increases then decreases and the volume increases when the mass is removed from the platform What happens to the pressure and the volume as the air chamber is moved back into the ice water? The pressure stays the same and the volume decreases when the air chamber is moved back into the ice water
How does the thermodynamic work compare to the useful mechanical work? What about conservation of energy? The thermodynamic work is greater than the mechanical work Exercise Which of the following would constitute a macrostate description of the class attendance and which would constitute a microstate description? o A list of the names of each student present today. Constitute a microstate o The number of students in attendance. Constitute a microstate Which macrostate(s) would have the highest number of microstates? The macrostate that would have the highest number of microstates is #1 All 50 students are present Which macrostate(s) would have the lowest number of microstates? The macrostate that would have the lowest number of microstates is #4 No students are present How many macrostates are there and what is the multiplicity Ω of those macrostates, i.e. how many microstates correspond to each macrostate? There are 2 macrostates and the multiplicity being either red or blue. 4 microstates correspond to each macrostate Which statement below best describes the relationship between probability and entropy for the macrostates we are considering? 1. The most probable macrostates have the lowest entropy. 2. The most probable macrostates have the highest entropy. 3. There is no clear relationship between entropy and probability for these macrostates.
