                                                       Thermodynamic in daily life

Thermodynamic is very important in daily life or real life. Thermodynamic is mainly used in engineering or even medical. Thermodynamic is a branch of natural system which mainly concern about heat and in relation with work and energy. There is two laws of thermodynamic. The first law of thermodynamic said heat and work are forms of energy transfer while for the second law state that the entropy of any isolated system not in thermal equilibrium almost always increase. n

 Thermodynamic in daily life can be seen in medical research. Thermodynamic process is important in protein stability. The major drawback in expressing recombinant proteins in suitable hosts is that the protein molecules often form inclusion bodies. Recent various methods have been developed for refolding the inclusion bodies. Thermodynamic studies can be used as one of the tool to predict how the protein molecule changes its conformation under various environmental conditions. In other words, the values of thermodynamic parameters are helpful in analyzing the stability of proteins. In addition, protein molecules are deactivated when exposed to different environmental conditions. The protein deactivation phenomenon could be considered as a process in which secondary or tertiary structures change without the breakage of covalent bonds. The protein molecule can deactivate either reversibly or irreversibly. The critical factor to be assessed is how much activity is lost and how much can be improved over time. This aspect is particularly important for both industrial and biologically important proteins. This problem could be tackled by thermodynamic studies of protein molecules and the requirements to conduct thermodynamic studies n

 Thermodynamic also is applied even cooling machines, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, actually use heat, simply reversing the usual process by which particles are heated. The refrigerator pulls heat from its inner compartment which the area where food and other perishables are stored and transfers it to the region outside. This is why the back of a refrigerator is warm. Inside the refrigerator is an evaporator, into which heat from the refrigerated compartment flows. The evaporator contains a refrigerant such as ammonia, that readily liquefied. This gas is released into a pipe from the evaporator at a low pressure, and as a result, it evaporates, a process that cools it. The pipe takes the refrigerant to the compressor, which pumps it into the condenser at a high pressure. Located at the back of the refrigerator, the condenser is a long series of pipes in which pressure turns the gas into liquid. As it moves through the condenser, the gas heats, and this heat is released into the air around the refrigerator. An air conditioner works in a similar manner. Hot air from the room flows into the evaporator, and a compressor circulates refrigerant from the evaporator to a condenser. Behind the evaporator is a fan, which draws in hot air from the room, and another fan pushes heat from the condenser to the outside. Thus, the thermodynamic process is important in design and construction of home appliance. Thermodynamic also applied in other more home appliance not only refrigerators or air conditioners, but also in microwave or water heater. n

 On top of that, thermodynamic studies also have improve the technology from time to time. The most major technology improvement is in automobile industries. During early development of automobile industries engine are used to power up cars and motorcycles. Thermodynamic process also occur inside a engine as we know that the engine is a closed system. Early design of engine is not based on thermodynamic studies which mostly not efficient and unreliable. The studies of engine involving with thermodynamic studies have increase engine efficiencies and even develop new kind of propulsion system. From the first and second law of thermodynamic, turbine propulsion apply the law of thermodynamic in order to operate according to its design. Turbine is mainly used ship propulsion in gas or steam turbine in which the law of thermodynamic assist during design stage to predict its work output, energy consumption, pollution level or work input. From this we seen that thermodynamic help in cost saving by perfecting the design just by applying the law of thermodynamic. That is why laws of thermodynamic is very important in daily life it helps human to improve to better life. n

 Earth also is part of thermodynamic process. Climate changes occur due to thermodynamic process. Our atmosphere also is categories as in thermodynamic process as heat transfer and exchange occur between the ocean and the atmosphere. By following the law of thermodynamic which is first and second law of thermodynamic, atmospheric thermodynamic involve with properties of moist air, formation of clouds, atmospheric convection or boundary layer meteorology. Thermodynamic concepts are used as tools in the forecasting of storm development. In order to predict the storm the hurricane is modeled as a heat engine which running between ocean temperature at 300K and tropopause at 200K. Parcels of air moving close to the surface take up moisture and warm, ascending air expands and cools releasing rain during the condensation. The release of latent heat energy during the condensation provides mechanical energy for the hurricane. Both a decreasing temperature in the upper troposphere or an increasing temperature of the atmosphere close to the surface will increase the maximum winds observed in hurricanes. When applied to hurricane dynamics it defines a Carnot heat engine cycle and predicts maximum hurricane intensity.
