[Vo]:On loss or gain of energy in presure volume work in solids with varying temperature

2008-04-17 Thread David Jonsson
Hi
I have an idea about what this is all about
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508107

The authors talk about inconsistency but my understanding is that it
explains two well known phenomena in everyday life. I want to hear what you
say before I say more.

Can anyone conclude what the two phenomena are?

...  one of them would probably be a negative expansion coefficient - i.e. 
freezing water, or the mischmetals which contract with applied heat



 Can anyone conclude what the two phenomena are?

Sure David, Using the example of a piece of copper rod at ambient temperature, 
Rapidly bend the rod and it gets hot at the bend. The more rapid the bend, the 
hotter it gets. No inconsistency unless you wish to rewrite thermo.. which some 
brainiac should do soon before we tumble.

 Title:Inconsistencies in the current thermodynamic description of elastic
 solids
 
 Authors:Jozsef Garai, Alexandre Laugier
 
 (Submitted on 17 Aug 2005)
 
 Abstract: Using the contemporary thermodynamic equations of elastic solids
 leads to contradictions with the fundamental statements of thermodynamics. Two
 examples are presented to expose the inconsistencies. In example one the
 internal energy between the initial and final states shows path dependency
 while in example two changing the temperature of a system at constant volume
 produces mechanical work. These results are contradictory with the
 fundamentals of thermodynamics and indicate that the contemporary description
 of elastic solids needs to be revisited and revised


regarding example two, it doesn't produce work, rather
work must be done ON the system to keep it at constant volume
while the temperature is changed.
yes? no?
