AND BALANCE
EQUATIONS FOR MASS,
ENERGY, ENTROPY,
EXERGY, AND
MOMENTUM
The purpose of studying thermodynamics is to predict the behavior
of systems in terms of their states as they respond to interactions
with their surroundings. Classical thermodynamics is an axiomatic
science; that is, the behaviors of systems can be predicted by
deduction from a few basic axioms or laws, which are assumed to be
always true. A law is an abstraction of myriads of observations
summarized into concise statements that are self-evident and
certainly without any contradiction. e have already come across
the !eroth "aw of thermodynamics, which introduced temperature, a
thermodynamic property, as an arbiter of thermal e#uilibrium
between two ob$ects.
%n this chapter we will introduce the conservation of mass and
momentum principle, the &irst "aw and 'econd "aw of
thermodynamics and the concept of exergy. A uniform framewor( in
terms of balance e#uations will be developed. )ach fundamental
principle will be translated into a balance e#uation of a particular
property. *ust as e#uations of state are the starting point for a state
evaluation, analysis of engineering systems and processes in the
future chapters will begin with the balance e#uations. hile the
balance e#uations are derived in this chapter, their applications to
closed and open systems are delegated to Chapter + and ,
respectively. To gain a comprehensive insight into these e#uations
Chapters -, + and ,, therefore, should be iteratively studied.

/eside mass transfer, a property can be transferred across the
boundary through other interactions @ energy, for instance, is carried
with heat and wor(. As will be stated shortly, entropy can not only
be transferred, but also generated spontaneously within a system.
Therefore, B can be expected to change with time, i.e., ( ) B B t

the system ta(en with the state camera at time

The superscript
c
reminds us that this e#uation cannot be applied to
open system as is. The right hand side 32F'4 is prescribed by the
specific laws to be introduced shortly. ith the help of 2T) the
fundamental laws, which are (nown in the closed system format of
)#. , are expanded into balance e#uations applicable to any (ind of
system, open or closed.
e begin the development of the 2T) by considering a very
general open system at time
t
and t t + as s(etched in &ig. 1.+. The
minor restriction of a single inlet and exit will be lifted as the last
step of this derivation. The system, defined by the dotted blac(
boundary, is allowed to have all possible interactions @ mass, heat
and wor( @ with its surroundings. As shown in the s(etch, even the
shape of the system is allowed to change. As the wor(ing substance
passes through the system, we identify a closed system mar(ed by
the red boundary at time
t
, which occupies the entire open system
plus a little region % near the inlet. The closed system becomes
deformed as it flows through the open system. After a small period
t , it still occupies the entire open system; however, the region-%
completely disappears and a new region, region-%%%, not necessarily
e#ual in size to region-%, appears near the exit. This is not a
coincidence since for any given t , the region-% is carefully chosen
so that the entire fluid inside that region flows into the system during
that interval. 6f course, t has to be sufficiently small so as not to

allow the closed system to loose its identity through disintegration,

the ports can be neglected compared to the transfer through the rest
of the boundary. The same, however, is not true about wor( transfer
through the system ports, called the "lo' 'or(. As explained in

two ma$or categories, flow and external wor(, to distinguish open

iv4 An isolated system achieves thermodynamic e0uilibrium 'hen
the entropy o" the system reaches a maxima#
"et us go over these statements one at a time. &rom our
experience of chaos, we would tend to agree with the first postulate
that entropy, being a measure of total amount of chaos or disorder in
a system, is an extensive property; that is, doubling the size of a
uniform system will double its entropy.
Feat transfer to a system can be expected to increase the
molecular disorder and, hence, entropy. %f a uniform system is at a
high temperature and, therefore, pretty chaotic to start with, addition
of heat cannot be expected to add as much entropy to the system as
would be the case for a cooler, less chaotic system. This provides
$ustification as to why the boundary temperature, which is same as
the system temperature for a local system, occurs in the denominator
of the entropy transfer term in postulate-%%. 6bserve that transfer of
wor( does not seem to affect entropy of a system. or( involves
organized motion such as the rotation of a shaft, motion of a
boundary, and, in the case of electricity, directed movement of
electrons, etc. The chaotic motion of the system, therefore, remains
unaffected by the transfer of organized motion.
The third postulate states that every system has a natural
tendency towards generating entropy. /ecause entropy cannot be
destroyed, the generated entropy is a permanent signature of the
process. hen heat radiates from the 'un to earth, the coffee in the
stirred cup gradually comes to rest, electrons flow across a voltage
difference, a drop of in( dissipates in a buc(et of water, rubbing one
hand against another ma(e them warm, natural gas burns in air
forming hot flames, a volcano erupts @ there is one thing that is
common in all these apparently unrelated phenomena; they all tend
to destroy a gradient of some (ind while generating entropy as
dictated by postulate-%%. %n the next chapter we will devote an entire
section going after these sources of spontaneous entropy generation.
&or the time being, we will refer to all these gradient destroying
natural phenomena as %ene$ali,e# &$iction.

&ig. -.1, CA2T66A
Are you saying that the
'econd "aw left those
footprintsH
=eneralized friction leave an indelible footprint in the form
of entropy generation. Any process involving generalized friction,
therefore, cannot be completely reversed and are called i$$e)e$sible,
the degree of i$$e)e$sibilit being proportional to the entropy
generation. =eneralized friction due to system surroundings
interactions sometimes extends beyond the system into the
immediate surroundings. Cepending on the location where the
entropy is generated with respect to the system boundary, the
associated irreversibilities are called inte$nal if within the system
and exte$nal if outside or at the boundary. &or instance, entropy is
generated inside and in the immediate surroundings of a turbine
operating in a steady state. The sstem-s uni)e$se enclosed by the
outer boundary of &ig. -.15 includes both the internal and external
generation of entropy. %n the limiting situation of no entropy
generated in the systemEs universe as a result of a particular process,
the system can be completely restored bac( to its original state
without leaving any clue that the original process ever too( place.
The system or process is said to be $e)e$sible under that ideal
situation. The concept of entropy generation will be lin(ed in the
next chapter with the design of more efficient engines, refrigerators
and various other thermal devices.
The third postulate 3not to be confused with the Third "aw of
thermodynamics to be introduced in Chapter-:4 has tremendous
implications in predicting e#uilibrium, which will be discussed in
more details in Chapter : and .;. &or the time being, consider two
closed insulated systems, initially at two different temperatures,
brought in diathermal contact by removing insulations from two
walls and pressing the two bloc(s against each other on their un-
insulated faces. The entropy of the combined system will start to
increase as entropy is generated due to heat transfer from the hotter
bloc( to the colder one. e (now from our experience that at
e#uilibrium temperatures of the two bloc(s will become e#ual, at
which point entropy will cease to increase any further, all the
temperature gradient having been completely destroyed. Thus
entropy has been maximized as the isolated system, consisting of the
two bloc(s, comes to e#uilibrium. As a matter of fact, we will show
in Chapter-:, that starting from the second law, the e#uality of
temperature at e#uilibrium can be predicted. Although this may seem
li(e a trivial exercise, the same principle will help us deduce in
Chapter @.;, the emissions from combustion, something far from
trivial.
=etting bac( to our tas( of translating the fundamental laws
into balance e#uations, the second postulate can be written as.

3.$ E%er"y Balance Equation
'tagnant air and wind both have energy. Jet it is much easier to
extract useful wor( out of the wind than stagnant air at atmospheric
conditions. 6ne of the ma$or #uests for engineers at all times has
been delivery of useful wor( in the form of shaft or electrical power
out of any source of available energy - wind, ocean waves, river
streams, geo-thermal reserves, solar radiation, fossil fuels, nuclear
materials, etc. ith the help of the mass, energy and entropy
balance e#uation we are about to predict the maximum possible
useful wor( that can be extracted from a system. %n fact
manipulation of these e#uations will be shown to lead to a new
balance e#uation for a new property called exe$%, which measures
the useful energy content of a system. The ocean or the atmosphere
may have tremendous amount of energy due to their huge mass
alone, but very little exergy; that is why, a ship or an airplane cannot
extract any useful wor( out of these reservoirs of energy. )xergy,
thus, can be loo(ed upon as a measure of the #uality of energy. An
exergy analysis not only helps in comparing two alternative sources
of energy - or should we say exergy @ but also in rating the
performance of any device that consumes or delivers useful wor(.

/ecause exergy is a derived concept, we must develop the balance
e#uation first before identifying the different mechanisms of its
storage, transfer and generation, if any. 6nly then can we precisely
define exergy as a property.
Consider the system schematic s(etched in &ig. -.-,. "i(e

readily removed towards the end of our derivation. The

/efore we proceed further, let us ta(e a closer loo( at the external
wor( transfer. Cifferent modes of wor( transfer have been
introduced in a #ualitative manner in 'ection ..1.1.+ and through a
flow chart in &ig. -..5, which is further modified in &ig. -.-7. 0ost
components of the external wor( transfer, electrical, shaft or power
transfer through a piston into the cran( shaft are readily useful. The
only exception is the part of boundary wor( transfer that involves the
atmosphere. The wor( done by the piston in pushing the atmospheric
air in &ig. -.-5 cannot be used for any practical purpose. 'imilarly if
the piston is pushed downward, the atmospheric wor( comes free
and does not cost anything as does any other form of useful wor(.

useful and atmospheric components as shown by the flow diagram of

The inner negative sign accounts for the fact that the atmospheric
force and the displacement of its point of application are in opposite
direction. The outer negative sign converts the wor( done by the
atmosphere into wor( done by the system. The expression derived
for a single piston can be shown to remain valid even if the entire
boundary of a system is non-rigid. The boundary, in that case, can be
divided into a large number of discrete pistons-cylinder
arrangements and the contributions from individual elements when
integrated can be shown to produce the same result as )#. . 6f

3.1( Summary
The fundamental governing e#uations for the interactions between a
system and its surroundings are derived in a common format called
the balance e#uation in this chapter. The goal is to express the
governing e#uations in a customized format for a given system. The
2eynolds transport e#uation or the 2T) relates the rate of change of
any total extensive property of an open system at a given instant with
that of a closed system passing through, which happens to occupy
the entire open system at that time. ith the help of 2T) the
fundamental laws of thermodynamics, postulated for a closed
system, are converted into balance e#uation for a very general
system.
%n 'ection -.- systems are classified into a tree structure with
different branches representing groups of systems that show some
similar patterns. 0ass balance e#uation is derived and expressed in
different formats in 'ection -.+. 'imilarly, energy, entropy, exergy,
and momentum e#uations are derived in 'ections -., through -.:.
&inally, in 'ection -.< the complete set of e#uations, called the
0))) e#uations are summarized for important classes of systems
that are often encountered in the practice of thermodynamics.
The next two chapters are devoted to understanding the
various e#uations derived in this chapter through comprehensive
analysis of various closed and open systems.
