Example (Problem 4.1) The specific heat capacity cv of
solids at low temperature is given by the Debye T3 law:

T
cv A
The quantity A is a constant equal to 19.4 x 105 J
Kilomole-1K-1 and is the Debye temperature, equal to
320K for NaCl.
(a) What is the molar specific heat capacity at constant
volume of NaCl at 10K and at 50K?
dq
(b) Using the definition of
cv ( )v
dT
dq cv dT integrate the above equation
50 K T
q A( ) 3 dT
10 K
A 1 4 50 K
q T |10 K

q 9.236 10 4
Q 2q 1.85 105
The unit of heat is J kilomole-1K-1
(c) The mean specific heat capacity can be calculated by dividing the sum of (cv (10K)+ cv (50K) )
by 2
Example 2 (problem 4.2) The equation of state of a certain gas is
(P + b)v = RT and its specific internal energy is given by
u = aT + bv + u0
(a) Find cv,
(b) Show that cp cv = R
Solution:
(a) cv can be found via its definition:
u
cv where the function of u is given
T v
it leads to cv a
(b)
u u
since du dT dV , provided that u is expressed with V and T
T v V T
du a dT b dV
thus dq du PdV , for a reversible process;
dq a dT (b P)dV (1)

Example 3: (Problem 4.10):
The equation of state for radiant energy in equilibrium
with temperature of the walls of a cavity of volume V is P
= aT4/3, where a is a constant. The energy equation is U
= aT4V.
(a) Show that the heat supplied in an isothermal doubling
of the volume of the cavity is (4/3)aT4V.
(b) Show that in an adiabatic process, VT3 is constant.
Solution
(a)

T v V T
du 4aT 3VdT aT 4 dV
Since du dq PdV
dq 4aT 3VdT ( aT 4 P ) dV

As it is am isothermal process, i.e. dT 0
4
dq aT 4 dV

integrate the above equation from V to 2V

one gets q aT 4V

(b) for adiabatic process dq = 0,
thus du + PdV = 0
