Lecture the law of conservation of energy in thermal processes. wooden splinter, thermometer, scales with weights. History of the study of the transformation of mechanical and thermal energy

A little earlier, we have already considered some phenomena of energy conversion in mechanical processes. Let's refresh our knowledge. Throwing an object (a stone or a ball) into the sky, we give it the energy of motion, or in other words kinetic energy. Having risen to a certain level of height, the movement of the object slows down, after which a fall occurs. At the moment of stopping (when the movement of the object has stopped at the top point), all kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

During such transformations, the sum of kinetic and potential energy remains unchanged. If we assume that the potential energy near the surface of the Earth is equal to zero, the sum of the kinetic energy, together with the potential energy of the body at absolutely any height during the rise or fall, will be equal to: E = E k + E n

We conclude: the total amount of potential and kinetic energy of the body remains unchanged if only elastic and gravitational forces act, and there is no friction force. That's what it is the law of conservation of mechanical energy.

When we experimented with dropping a lead ball on a slab, we observed how mechanical energy turned into internal energy. Thus, such types of energy as mechanical and internal can pass from one body to another.

A similar conclusion applies to all thermal processes. During heat transfer, for example, a body that is heated more strongly gives off energy, at the same time when a less heated body only receives it.

During the process of processing by the engine of the fuel machine, internal energy fuel is converted into mechanical energy of motion. When energy passes from one body to another, or when one form of energy is transformed into another, energy is always conserved.

The study of phenomena that relate to the transformation of one type of energy into a completely different one has led to the discovery of one of the main laws of nature - the law of conservation and transformation of energy.

In any natural phenomenon, energy cannot arise or disappear just like that. It simply passes from one form to another, while its value is always preserved.

When scientists examined various natural phenomena, they have always relied on this law. Now, we can make an important conclusion: energy cannot arise from a body if it has not received it from some other body. Here are some examples to better understand the material.

The rays of the sun contain a certain amount of energy. Touching the surface of the Earth, they give off heat to it, heat it up. Thus, solar energy is converted into the internal energy of the soil and bodies that are on the surface of the earth. The air, which is heated from the surface of the earth, begins to move - this is how the wind is born. The transformation of internal energy, which is endowed with air masses, into mechanical energy begins.

Some of the solar energy is absorbed by the leaves of plants. Complex chemical reactions (photosynthesis) begin to occur, as a result of which organic compounds are formed, i.e. solar energy is converted into chemical energy.

The transition of intra-atomic energy into different types of energy is often used in practice. The law of conservation of energy is the scientific basis for various kinds of calculations in absolutely all areas of science and technology. It must be understood that internal energy cannot be completely converted into mechanical energy.

History has a huge number of projects " perpetual motion machine". In some cases the errors of the "inventor" were obvious, in others these errors were hidden behind the complex design of the device. Unsuccessful attempts to create a "perpetual motion machine" continue today. All of them are doomed to failure, because the law of conservation and transformation of energy denies the receipt of work without the expenditure of energy.

1. For mechanical phenomena, under certain conditions, the law of conservation of mechanical energy is fulfilled: the total mechanical energy of a system of bodies is conserved if they interact with the forces of gravity or elasticity. If friction forces act, then the total mechanical energy of the bodies is not conserved, part of it (or all) is converted into their internal energy.

When the state of the body (system) changes, its internal energy changes. The state of the body and, accordingly, its internal energy can be changed in two ways: in the process of heat transfer or by performing work on the body by external forces (work, for example, friction forces).

2. When solving the problem in the previous paragraph, it was obtained that the amount of heat ​\(Q_1 \) ​given hot water, is equal to the amount of heat \(Q_2 \) obtained cold water, i.e.: ​\(Q_1=Q_2 \) .

The written equality is called equation heat balance . It relates the amount of heat received by one body and the amount of heat given off by another body during heat exchange. In this case, not two bodies, but three or more can participate in heat exchange. For example, if a spoon is lowered into a glass of hot tea, then the glass and tea will participate in the heat exchange (give energy), and the spoon and the surrounding air (receive energy). As already mentioned, in specific problems we can neglect the amount of heat received or given off by some bodies during heat exchange.

3. The heat balance equation makes it possible to determine certain quantities. In particular, the values ​​of the specific heat capacity of substances are determined from the heat balance equation.

A task. Determine the specific heat capacity of aluminum if, when lowering an aluminum spoon weighing 42 g at a temperature of 20 °C into a glass containing 92 g of water at 75 ° C, a temperature of 70 ° C is established in the glass. The energy losses for heating the air, as well as the energy given off by the glass, should be neglected.

Task Analysis. Two bodies are involved in heat exchange: hot water and an aluminum spoon. Water gives off the amount of heat ​ \ (Q_1 \) ​ and cools down from 75 to 70 ° С. An aluminum spoon receives the amount of heat ​ \ (Q_2 \) ​ and heats up from 20 to 70 ° C. The amount of heat ​\(Q_1 \) ​given by hot water is equal to the amount of heat ​\(Q_2 \) ​received by the spoon.

Problem solving in general view: heat balance equation: ​\(Q_1=Q_2 \) ​; the amount of heat given off by hot water: ​\(Q_1=c_1m_1(t_1-t) \) ​; the amount of heat received by an aluminum spoon: \(Q_2=c_2m_2(t-t_2) \) . With this in mind, the heat balance equation:​ \(c_1m_1(t_1-t)=c_2m_2(t-t_2) \). From:​ \(c_2=c_1m_1(t_1-t)/m_2(t-t_2) \)​.

4. The law of conservation of energy in thermal processes is fulfilled when bodies are heated due to the energy released during the combustion of fuel. Fuel is natural gas, wood, coal, oil. When it burns, a chemical oxidation reaction occurs - carbon atoms combine with oxygen atoms contained in the air, and a molecule of carbon monoxide (carbon dioxide) CO 2 is formed. This releases energy.

When different fuels of the same mass are burned, different amount warmth. For example, it is well known that natural gas is an energy-efficient fuel than firewood. This means that in order to obtain the same amount of heat, the mass of firewood to be burned must be significantly greater than the mass of natural gas. Consequently, various types of fuel from an energy point of view are characterized by a quantity called specific heat of combustion of fuel.

The specific heat of combustion of a fuel is a physical quantity showing how much heat is released during the complete combustion of a fuel weighing 1 kg.

The specific heat of combustion of fuel is denoted by the letter ​ \ (q \) , its unit is 1 J / kg.

The value of the specific heat of combustion of the fuel is determined experimentally. Hydrogen has the highest specific heat of combustion, and gunpowder has the lowest.

The specific heat of combustion, for example, of oil is 4.4·10 7 J/kg. This means that with the complete combustion of 1 kg of oil, the amount of heat 4.4 10 7 J is released.

AT general case, if the mass of the fuel is ​\(m \) ​, then the amount of heat ​\(Q \) ​released during its complete combustion is equal to the product of the specific heat of combustion of the fuel ​\(q \) ​by its mass ​\(m \) ​:

5. Suppose that the internal energy of the body ​\(U \) ​ was changed by doing work on it ​\(A \) ​ and imparting to it a certain amount of heat ​\(Q \) ​. In this case, the change in internal energy ​\(U \) ​is equal to the sum of the work ​\(A \) ​performed on the body and the amount of heat transferred to it ​\(Q \) ​:

The written expression is first law of thermodynamics 1 , which is a generalization of the energy conservation law. It is formulated as follows: the change in the internal energy of the system during the transition from one state to another is equal to the sum of the work done on the system by external forces and the amount of heat transferred to the system.

1 Thermodynamics - the study of thermal processes.

Suppose that the work is done not by external forces, but by the body itself. His work in this case is ​\(A^(‘)=-A \) ​ and ​\(Q=U+A^(‘) \) . The amount of heat transferred to the body is used to change its internal energy and to work the body against external forces.

6. Devices that perform mechanical work due to the internal energy of the fuel are called heat engines.

Any heat engine consists of a heater, a refrigerator and a working fluid (Fig. 72). Gas or steam is used as a working fluid, since they are highly compressible, and depending on the type of engine, there can be fuel (gasoline, kerosene), water vapor, etc. The heater transfers a certain amount of heat to the working fluid ​ \ ((Q_1) \) ​ , and its internal energy increases, mechanical work \((A) \) is performed due to this internal energy, then the working fluid gives off a certain amount of heat to the refrigerator \((Q_2) \) and cools down to the initial temperature. The described scheme represents the engine operation cycle and is general; in real engines, various devices can play the role of a heater and a refrigerator. The environment can serve as a refrigerator.

Since in the engine part of the energy of the working fluid is transferred to the refrigerator, it is clear that not all of the energy received by it from the heater goes to doing work. Accordingly, the coefficient useful action engine (efficiency) is equal to the ratio of the perfect work ​ \ ((A) \) ​ to the amount of heat received by it from the heater ​ \ ((Q_1) \) ​:

\[ Efficiency=\frac(A)(Q_1)100\%=\frac(Q_1-Q_2)(Q_1)100\% \]

The efficiency factor is usually expressed as a percentage.

7. There are two types of internal combustion engines (ICE): carburetor and diesel. In a carburetor engine, the working mixture (a mixture of fuel with air) is prepared outside the engine in a special device and from it enters the engine. Fuel in a diesel engine
the mixture is prepared in the engine itself.

The internal combustion engine (Fig. 73) consists of a cylinder (1) in which the piston (5) moves; the cylinder has two valves (2, 3), through one of which the combustible mixture is admitted into the cylinder, and through the other the exhaust gases are released from the cylinder. The piston with the help of a crank mechanism (6, 7) is connected to the crankshaft, which comes into rotation when forward movement piston. The cylinder is closed with a cover (4).

The internal combustion engine cycle includes four cycles: intake, compression, power stroke, exhaust. During intake, the piston moves down, the pressure in the cylinder decreases, and a combustible mixture (in a carburetor engine) or air (in a diesel engine) enters it through the valve. The valve is closed at this time (Fig. 73 a). At the end of the inlet of the combustible mixture, the valve closes.

During the second stroke, the piston moves up, the valves are closed, and the working mixture or air is compressed (Fig. 73 b). At the same time, the gas temperature rises: the combustible mixture in the carburetor engine heats up to 300-350 ° C, and the air in the diesel engine - up to 500-600 ° C. At the end of the compression stroke, a spark jumps in the carburetor engine, and the combustible mixture ignites. In a diesel engine, fuel is injected into the cylinder and the resulting mixture ignites spontaneously.

When a combustible mixture is burned, the gas expands and pushes the piston and the crankshaft connected to it, performing mechanical work (Fig. 73 c). This causes the gas to cool.

When the piston comes to bottom point, the pressure will decrease. When the piston moves up, the valve opens and the exhaust gas is released (Fig. 73 d). At the end of this cycle, the valve closes.

8. A steam turbine is a disk mounted on a shaft, on which the blades are fixed. Steam enters the blades. Steam heated to 600 ° C is directed to the nozzle and expands in it. When the steam expands, its internal energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the directed movement of the steam jet. A jet of steam enters the turbine blades from the nozzle and transfers part of its kinetic energy to them, causing the turbine to rotate. Turbines usually have several discs, each of which receives a portion of the steam energy. The rotation of the disk is transmitted to the shaft, to which the electric current generator is connected.

Tell us about any device, a device that works due to the thermal energy of the environment.

Not one of the energy sources known today is able to fully meet the growing needs of man in the future. For this, more attention needs to be paid alternative sources or sources operating on the energy of the environment. There are already, for example, “solar batteries” that turn solar energy in electricity using photocells. Many projects have been created to use the power of the tides, the power of the winds, the power of the geysers. There are also projects to use the temperature difference between the surface layers of water in tropical seas and the water temperature at great depths.
