Second law analysis for a control

volume
Read BS, Chapter 9
In this chapter, we will apply notions from control volume analysis to problems which involve
the second law of thermodynamics.
Recall that the fundamental description of our axioms is written for systems. We simply
modify these axioms when applying them to control volumes. We shall omit most of the
details of the reduction of the second law to control volume formulation. It is not unlike
that done for mass and energy conservation.

Let us introduce a convenient variable, the
Irreversible entropy production: a quantity which characterizes that portion
of entropy production which is irreversible.
We note that entropy can be produced by reversible heat transfer as well, which we segregate
and do not consider here. We adopt the common notation of

for irreversible entropy
production, with units of kJ/K. Our

with the notation of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. We give it the subscripts to emphasize
that it is path-dependent. Mathematically, we recast the second law for a system by the
following two equations:

272 CHAPTER 9. SECOND LAW ANALYSIS FOR A CONTROL VOLUME
Clearly, this is just a notational convenience which moves the inequality from one equation
to another. On a dierential basis, we can say for a system
dS =
Q
T

And for time-dependent processes, we say for a system
dS

T
Q

Now, let us expand to an unsteady control volume, which should be similar to that for a
system, with corrections for inlets and exits. We get

If it is in steady state and there is one entrance and one exit, then mass conservation gives

Now, we cannot neglect kinetic energy changes in a diuser. We can neglect potential energy changes.
We can also neglect unsteady eects as well as control volume work. We were told it is adiabatic, so
heat transfer can be neglected. Thus, we get

9.2 Bernoullis principle
Let us consider our thermodynamics in appropriate limit to develop the well known
Bernoulli principle: a useful equation in thermal science, often used beyond its
realm of validity, relating pressure, uid velocity, density, and uid height, valid only
in the limit in which mechanical energy is conserved.
Figure 9.5: Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), Dutch-born mathematician and physicist; image
from http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/history/Biographies/Bernoulli Daniel.html.
The principle was rst elucidated, though not without considerable turmoil within his prolic
family, by Daniel Bernoulli,
1
depicted in Fig. 9.5.
For the Bernoulli principle to be formally valid requires some restrictive assumptions.
We shall make them here in the context of thermodynamics. The same assumptions allow
one to equivalently obtain the principle from an analysis of the linear momentum equation
developed in uid mechanics courses. In such a uids development, we would need to make
several additional, but roughly equivalent, assumptions. This equivalence is obtained because
we shall develop the equation in the limit that mechanical energy is not dissipated. For our
analysis here, we will make the following assumptions:
the ow is steady,
all processes are fully reversible,
there is one inlet and exit, and
there is contact with one thermal reservoir in which thermal energy is transferred
reversibly.
Though we will not study it, there is another important version of the Bernoulli principle
for unsteady ows.

require signicant development. What we really wanted was a simplication for

We can rewrite this as

v

Bernoullis equation for an incompressible liquid.
In a dierent limit, that in which changes in kinetic and potential energy can be neglected,
Eq. (9.39) reduces to
w

vdP. (9.45)
This integral is not the area under the curve in P v space. It is the area under the curve
in v P space instead. Contrast this with the system result where we get

In the important operation of pumping liquids, v is nearly constant, and we can say

9.2.2 Calorically perfect ideal gas limit
Let us consider the Bernoulli equation for a CPIG undergoing a reversible adiabatic process.
For such a process, we have Pv

this case:

9.2.3 Torricellis formula
Let us consider a special case of the Bernoulli equation, known as Torricellis formula, devel-
oped by Evangelista Torricelli,
2
the inventor of the barometer, and for whom the pressure
unit torr is named (1 torr = 133.322 Pa = 1/760 atm.) Torricelli is sketched in Fig. 9.6.
Figure 9.6: Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), Italian physicist and mathematician; image
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelista Torricelli.
Consider the scenario of Fig. 9.7. Here, a uid is in an open container. The container has
a small hole near its bottom. The uid at the top of the container, z = z
1
, is at P
1
= P
atm
.
The leaking uid exhausts at the same pressure P
2
= P
atm
. The uid leaks at velocity v
2
at a hole located at z = z
2
. The uid at the top of the container barely moves; so, it has
negligible velocity, v
1
0. The uid exists in a constant gravitational eld with gravitational
acceleration g, as sketched. Assume the uid is incompressible and all of the restrictions of
Bernoullis law are present. Let us apply Eq. (9.44):

Example 9.3
Let us design a liquid water fountain by cutting a hole in a high pressure water pipe. See Fig. 9.8.
We desire the nal height of the water jet to be 30 m. The jet rises against a gravitational eld with
g = 9.81 m/s
2
. The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Water has density = 997 kg/m
3
. Find the
necessary pipe gauge pressure P
1
and jet exit velocity v
2
.
Let us apply the Bernoulli principle between states 1 and 3, the pipe interior and the peak of the
height of the fountain. We will estimate the velocity of the water in the pipe to be small, v
1
0 m/s.
We will also estimate the velocity at the apex of the motion to be negligible, v

The extra boost in height comes from accounting for the initial kinetic energy of the water.
9.3 Component eciency
Recall for cycles, we dene a thermal eciency as = W
net
/Q
H
= what you want/what
you pay for. We can further dene eciencies for components. For a component, we will
generally take an eciency to be
component
=
what we get
the best we could get
. (9.90)
9.3. COMPONENT EFFICIENCY 285
The best we could get is generally an isentropic device. So, for example, for a turbine, we
say
turbine
=
actual work
work done by an isentropic turbine
=
w
w
s
. (9.91)
Here, the subscript s denotes isentropic.
For a nozzle, we would like to maximize the kinetic energy of the working uid, so we
say
nozzle
=
v

v

s
. (9.92)
However for pumps and compressors, the isentropic pump requires the least work input. So
we take instead
pump,compressor
=
w
s

Example 9.5
N
2
is adiabatically compressed from T
1
= 300 K, P
1
= 100 kPa to P
2
= 1000 kPa. The compressor
eciency is
c
= 0.9. Find the nal state and the compression work per unit mass. Assume N
2
is a
CIIG.
The rst law for adiabatic compression gives
w = h
2
h

. (9.94)
Table A.8 from BS tells us that at T
1
= 300 K, h
1
= 311.67 kJ/kg, s
o
T1
= 6.8463 kJ/kg/K. But we
are not sure what state 2 is, and the rst law does not help yet, as we do not know either w or h
2
.
Let us calculate state 2 assuming an isentropic process, and then use our knowledge of compressor
eciency to correct for real eects. We rst note for N
2
that
R =

Knowing s

T

= 576.133 K, h

= 601.712
kJ

. (9.100)
(Note the CPIG assumption would have yielded T
2s
= (300 K)(10)
0.286
= 579.209 K). So the work for
the isentropic compressor is
w

w =

w = 322.269

. (9.105)
Thus, we have the actual work per unit mass. So the actual enthalpy at state 2 can be derived from
the rst law:
h
2
= h
1
+ w =

311.67
kJ

+
_
322.269

= 633.939

. (9.106)
Now, knowing h
2
, we can again interpolate Table A.8 of BS to nd the nal temperature T
2
to be
T
2
= 606.263 K. (9.107)
We had to add more energy to achieve the non-isentropic compression relative to the isentropic com-
pression.
