INTRODUCTION
 In chapter 3, we have considered various forms of energy such as heat Q, work
W, and total energy E individually, and no attempt is made to relate them to
each other during a process.
 The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the conservation of energy
principle, provides a sound basis for studying the relationships among the various
forms of energy and energy interactions.
The first law of thermodynamics states
“energy can be neither created nor destroyed during a process; it can
only change forms.”
For Example
 We all know that a rock at some elevation possesses some potential energy, and
part of this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the rock falls

12/20/2017 4
 If we transfer 5 kJ of heat to a potato, its total energy will increase by 5 kJ.

The increase in the energy of a potato in an oven is

equal to the amount of heat transferred to it.

 Heat a water in a pan by transferring 15 KJ

There is 3 KJ losses
This means E2-E1= 12 KJ

In the absence of any work interactions, the

energy change of a system is equal to the net
12/20/2017 5
heat transfer.
 Heat an insulated room with electric heater.,
W= 5KJ (electric)
means E2-E1= 5KJ.

The work (electrical) done on an adiabatic

system is equal to the increase in the
energy of the system.

 Replace the electric heater with a

paddle wheel.

The work (shaft) done on an adiabatic system is

equal to the increase in the energy of the system.
12/20/2017 6
 If we do a 10 kJ of boundary work on a system,
 The system’s internal energy will increase by 10 kJ.
 This is because (in the absence of any heat transfer (Q = 0), the entire
boundary work will be stored in the air as part of its total energy.

The work (boundary) done on

an adiabatic system is equal to
the increase in the energy of
the system.

 The energy change of a system during a process is

equal to the net work and heat transfer between the
system and its surroundings.

12/20/2017 7
 If we do 6 kJ of shaft work on system and
 Transfer 15 kJ of heat in.

 Loose 3 kJ of heat out.

Wb= 4 kJ
 Doing 4 kJ of Work out.

 Then the system internal energy will

increase by 14 kJ.

 Before proceeding further, let us fix the direction of Energy Transfer

 Heat transferred in to the system is positive

Q in is +ve
 Heat transferred out of the system is negative
Q out is -ve
 Work done on the system increases energy of the system.
Win is +ve
 Work done by the system decreases energy of the system.
W out is -ve
12/20/2017 8
Energy balance

 The conservation of energy principle can be expressed as follows: The net

change (increase or decrease) in the total energy of the system during a
process is equal to the difference between the total energy entering and
the total energy leaving the system during that process. That is,

 This relation is often referred to as the energy balance.

 Is applicable to any kind of system undergoing any kind of process.

12/20/2017 9
Energy Change of a System, ΔEsystem
The determination of the energy change of a system
during a process involves the evaluation of the energy
of the system at the beginning and at the end of the
process, and taking their difference. That is,

 energy is a property, and the value of a property does not

change the state of the system changes.
 Therefore, the energy change of a system is zero if the state
of the system does not change during the process.
12/20/2017 10
 Energy can exist in numerous forms such as internal (sensible,
latent, chemical, and nuclear), kinetic, potential, electric, and
magnetic, and their sum constitutes the total energy E of a system.
 In the absence of electric, magnetic, and surface tension effects (i.e.
for simple compressible systems),the change in the total energy of
a system during a process is the sum of the changes in its internal,
kinetic, and potential energies and can be expressed as

12/20/2017 11
For stationary system
 They do not involve any changes in their velocity or elevation during a
process
 The changes in kinetic and potential energies are zero (that is, ΔKE=
ΔPE=0), and
 The total energy change relation of the above equation reduces to ΔE=ΔU
for such systems.

12/20/2017 12
 Mechanisms of Energy Transfer, Ein and Eout

 Energy can be transferred to or from a system in three forms: heat,

work, and mass flow. Energy interactions are recognized at the system
boundary as they cross it, and they represent the energy gained or lost by a
system during a process.
 The only two forms of energy interactions associated with a fixed mass or
closed system are heat transfer and work, but in case of open system
energy interactions are associated with heat transfer, work and mass
transfer.
1.Heat Transfer (Q)
 Heat transfer to a system (heat gain) increases the energy of the
molecules and thus the internal energy of the system, and heat transfer
from a system (heat loss) decreases it since the energy transferred out as
heat comes from the energy of the molecules of the system.
2.WORK (W)
 An energy interaction that is not caused by a temperature difference
12/20/2017 13
between a system and its surroundings is work.
 A rising piston, a rotating shaft, and an electrical wire crossing the
system boundaries are all associated with work interactions. Work
transfer to a system (i.e., work done on a system) increases the
energy of the system, and work transfer from a system (i.e., work
done by the system) decreases it since the energy transferred out as
work comes from the energy contained in the system. Car engines
and hydraulic, steam, or gas turbines produce work while
compressors, pumps, and mixers consume work.
3.Mass transfer(m)
 Mass flow in and out of the system serves as an additional
mechanism of energy transfer. When mass enters a system, the
energy of the system increases because mass carries energy with it
(in fact, mass is energy). Likewise, when some mass leaves the
system, the energy contained within the system decreases because
the leaving mass takes out some energy with it.

12/20/2017 14
 Noting that energy can be transferred in the forms of heat, work,
and mass, and that the net transfer of a quantity is equal to the
difference between the amounts transferred in and out, the energy
balance can be written as

where the subscripts “in” and “out” denote quantities that enter and
leave the system, respectively. All six quantities on the right side of
the equation represent “amounts,” and thus they are positive
quantities. The direction of any energy transfer is described by the
subscripts “in” and “out.”
 The heat transfer Q is zero for adiabatic systems, the work
transfer W is zero for systems that involve no work interactions,
and the energy transport with mass Emass is zero for systems that
involve
12/20/2017 no mass flow across their boundaries (i.e., closed systems).
15
 Energy balance for any system undergoing any kind of process can
be expressed more compactly as

Or, in the rate form, as

12/20/2017 16
 For constant rates, the total quantities during a time interval Δt are
related to the quantities per unit time as

 The energy balance can be expressed on a per unit mass basis as

which is obtained by dividing all the quantities in above energy

balance equation by the mass m of the system
 Energy balance can also be expressed in the differential form as

12/20/2017 17
That is, the net work output during a cycle is equal to net heat input

Example
1. A rigid tank contains a hot fluid that is cooled while being stirred by a paddle
wheel. Initially, the internal energy of the fluid is700 kJ. During the cooling
process, the fluid loses 600 kJ of heat, and the paddle wheel does200kJ of work on
the fluid. Determine the final internal energy of the fluid. Neglect the energy stored
in the paddle wheel.
2. A piston–cylinder device contains 25 g of saturated water vapor that is maintained
at a constant pressure of 300 kPa. A resistance heater within the cylinder is turned
on and passes a current of 0.2 A for 5 min from a 120-V source. At the same time, a
heat loss of 3.7 kJ occurs. (a) Show that for a closed system the boundary work Wb
and the change in internal energy U in the first-law relation can be combined into
one term, H, for a constant pressure process. (b) Determine the final temperature of
the steam.
3. A rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. Initially, one side of the
tank contains 5 kg of water at 200 kPa and 25°C, and the other side is evacuated.
The partition is then removed, and the water expands into the entire tank. The water
is allowed to exchange heat with its surroundings until the temperature in the tank
returns to the initial value of 25°C. Determine (a) the volume of the tank, (b) the
final pressure, and (c) the heat transfer for this process.

12/20/2017 21
Specific heat
 We know from experience that it takes different amounts of energy to
raise the temperature of identical masses of different substances by one
degree.
 For example, we need about 4.5 kJ of energy to raise the temperature of 1
kg of iron from 20 to 30°C, whereas it takes about 9 times this energy
(41.8 kJ to be exact) to raise the temperature of 1 kg of liquid water by the
same amount.(therefore, we need to define a new property, to define the
energy storage capability of a substance)
Fig.It takes different amounts of energy
to raise the temperature of different
substances by the same amount.

 The specific heat is defined as the

energy required to raise the temperature
of a unit mass of a substance by one
Fig. Specific heat is the energy required to
degree.(this energy depends on how the
raise the temperature of a unit mass of a
process is executed).
12/20/2017 22 way.
substance by one degree in a specified
 In thermodynamics, we are interested in two kinds of specific heats
Specific heat at constant volume (Cv)
 The energy required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a
substance by one degree as the volume is maintained constant.
Specific heat at constant pressure(Cp)
 The energy required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a
substance by one degree as the pressure is maintained constant.
 Cp >Cv , because at constant pressure the system is allowed to expand
and the energy for this expansion work must also be supplied to the
system.

Fig. Constant-volume and constant

pressure specific heats Cv and Cp
(values given are for helium gas).

12/20/2017 23
 Lets relate specific heats in terms of other thermodynamic
properties.
First, consider a fixed mass in a stationary closed system undergoing
a constant-volume process (and thus no expansion or compression
work is involved).

dQ – dW = dU + dPE +dKE
0 0
dE = dU, for no work done, dQ = dU
For finite temperature difference, the specific heat, designated by C
in general given by
dQ = m*C* dT (raise the temperature from T1 to T2)

C= 1/m*(dQ/dT), for control volume, dQ=dU

Per unit mass,
12/20/2017
CdT=du ,at constant volume or 24
 = the change in internal energy with temperature at
constant volume
 Similarly, an expression for the specific heat at constant pressure cp
can be obtained by considering a constant-pressure expansion or
compression process. It yields

= the change in enthalpy with temperature at

constant pressure
 Cv is a measure of the variation of internal energy of a substance
with temperature, and
 Cp is a measure of the variation of enthalpy of a substance with
temperature.

degree is different at different temperatures and pressures.

INTERNAL ENERGY, ENTHALPY, AND SPECIFIC HEATS OF IDEAL GASES

 We defined an ideal gas as a gas whose temperature, pressure, and

specific volume are related by

Pv = RT
 For an ideal gas the internal energy is a function of the temperature
only. That is,
U = U(T)
To prove this joule experiment ( Joule submerged two tanks one
pressurized and other evacuated which were connected with pipe and
valve in water bath)

12/20/2017 28
 Using the definition of enthalpy and the equation of state of an
ideal gas, we have
h = u + Pv but for ideal gas, Pv = RT

h = u + RT
 Since R is constant and u = u( T),it follows that the enthalpy of
an ideal gas is also a function of temperature only;
h = h(T)
Since u and h depend only on temperature for an ideal gas, the
specific heats Cv and Cp also depend, at most, on temperature
only.
Then the differential changes in the internal energy and enthalpy
of an ideal gas can be expressed as

12/20/2017 29
12/20/2017 30
 At low pressures, all real gases approach ideal-gas
behavior, and therefore their specific heats depend on
temperature only. The specific heats of real gases at low
pressures are called ideal-gas specific heats, or zero-pressure
specific heats, and are often denoted Cpo and Cvo.
 Accurate analytical expressions for ideal-gas specific heats,
based on direct measurements or calculations from statistical
behavior of molecules, are available and are given as third-
degree polynomials in the appendix (Table A–2c) for several
gases.

some gases (see Table A–2c For Cpequations).
12/20/2017 32
Some observation from the above figure,
 The specific heats of gases with complex molecules (molecules
with two or more atoms) are higher and increase with
temperature.
 Also, the variation of specific heats with temperature is smooth
and may be approximated as linear over small temperature
intervals (a few hundred degrees or less).
 Therefore, the specific heat functions in above equation can be
replaced by the constant average specific heat values. Then the
integrations in these equations can be performed, yielding

12/20/2017 33
 The specific heat values for some common gases are listed as a
function of temperature in Table A–2b (in the appendix of text book).

the change in internal energy of air per unit mass, using (a) data from the air

2c),and (c) the average specific heat value (Table A–2b).
5. A piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.5 m3 of nitrogen gas at 400 kPa

constant pressure, and a heat loss of 2800 J occurs during the process.
Determine the final temperature of nitrogen.
6. A piston–cylinder device initially contains air at 160 kPa and 37°C. At this
state, the piston is resting on a pair of stops, as shown in Fig. , and the
enclosed volume is 0.5m3. The mass of the piston is such that a 350-kPa
pressure is required to move it. The air is now heated until its volume has
doubled. Determine (a) the final temperature, (b) the work done by the air,

The First Law of Thermodynamics: Control Volume
MASS AND ENERGY ANALYSIS OF CONTROL VOLUMES
 The conservation of mass and the conservation of energy principles for
open systems or control volumes apply to systems having mass crossing
the system boundary or control surface.
 In addition to the heat transfer and work crossing the system boundaries,
mass carries energy with it as it crosses the system boundaries.
 Thus, the mass and energy content of the open system may change when
mass enters or leaves the control volume

12/20/2017 38
Mass and Volume flow Rates
 The amount of mass flowing through a cross section per unit time is
called the mass flow rate and is denoted by 𝑚 The dot over a
symbol is used to indicate time rate of change

 A fluid usually flows into or out of a control volume through pipes

or ducts. The differential mass flow rate of fluid flowing across a
small area element dAc on a flow cross section is proportional to
dAc itself, the fluid density r, and the component of the flow velocity
normal to dAc, which we denote as Vn, and is expressed as

 The mass flow rate through the entire cross-sectional area of a pipe
or duct is obtained by integration:

12/20/2017 39
 Velocity is never uniform over a cross section of a pipe because of the
fluid sticking to the surface and thus having zero velocity at the wall (the
no-slip condition). Rather, the velocity varies from zero at the walls to
some maximum value at or near the centerline of the pipe.
 We define the average velocity Vavg as the average value of Vn across the
entire cross section

Average velocity:
where Ac is the area of the cross section normal to the flow direction.

Thus for incompressible flow or even for

compressible flow where 𝝆 is uniform
across Ac
 For simplicity, we drop the subscript on the average velocity. Unless
otherwise stated, V denotes the average velocity in the flow direction.
Also, Ac denotes the cross-sectional area normal to the flow direction 40

 If the fluid density and velocity are constant over the flow cross sectional
area the mass flow rate is
𝑉𝑎𝑣 𝐴

Where 𝜌 is density and v is the specific volume

called the volume flow rate 𝑉

Conservation of mass principle

 These equations are often referred to as the mass balance and are
applicable to any control volume undergoing any kind of process.

 Fig. Conservation of mass principle for a
two-inlet–one-outlet steady-flow
system.

 It states that the total rate of mass entering a control volume is equal to the
total rate of mass leaving it.
 Many engineering devices such as nozzles, diffusers, turbines,
compressors, and pumps involve a single stream (only one inlet and one
outlet). For these cases, we denote the inlet state by the subscript 1 and the
outlet state by the subscript 2, and drop the summation signs. Then the
above equation reduces, for single-stream steady-flow systems, to

12/20/2017 46
Special Case: Incompressible Flow

 The conservation of mass relations can be simplified even further

when the fluid is incompressible, which is usually the case for
liquids. Canceling the density from both sides of the general steady-
flow relation gives

For single-stream steady-flow systems it becomes

 It should always be kept in mind that there is no such thing as a

“conservation of volume” principle. Therefore, the volume flow
rates into and out of a steady-flow device may be different. The
volume flow rate at the outlet of an air compressor is much less than
that at the inlet even though the mass flow rate of air through the
compressor is constant . This is due to the higher density of air at
the compressor
12/20/2017
exit. 47
 Fig. During a steady-flow process, volume flow rates are not
necessarily conserved although mass flow rates are.

 For steady flow of liquids, however, the volume flow rates, as well as
the mass flow rates, remain constant since liquids are essentially
incompressible (constant-density) substances.
 Water flow through the nozzle of a garden hose is an example of the
latter case.
12/20/2017 48
 FLOW WORK AND THE ENERGY OF A FLOWING FLUID
 Unlike closed systems, control volumes involve mass flow across
their boundaries, and some work is required to push the mass
into or out of the control volume. This work is known as the flow
work, or flow energy, and is necessary for maintaining a
continuous flow through a control volume.
 To obtain a relation for flow work, consider a fluid element of
volume V as shown in Fig. below. The fluid immediately upstream
forces this fluid element to enter the control volume; thus, it can be
regarded as an imaginary piston. The fluid element can be chosen
to be sufficiently small so that it has uniform properties
throughout.

12/20/2017 Fig. Schematic for flow work. 49

 If the fluid pressure is P and the cross-sectional area of the fluid element is
A , the force applied on the fluid element by the imaginary piston is

F = PA

12/20/2017 50
Fig. Flow work is the energy needed to push a fluid into or out of
a control volume, and it is equal to PV.

12/20/2017 51
Total Energy of a Flowing Fluid
 As we discussed in Chap. 3, the total energy of a simple compressible
system consists of three parts: internal, kinetic, and potential
energies . On a unit-mass basis, it is expressed as

 where V is the velocity and z is the elevation of the system relative to some
external reference point.

Fig.
12/20/2017
The total energy consists of three parts for a nonflowing 52
fluid and four parts for a flowing fluid.
The fluid entering or leaving a control volume
possesses an additional form of energy—the flow
energy Pv, as already discussed. Then the total energy
of a flowing fluid on a unit-mass basis (denoted by ɵ)
becomes

But the combination Pv and u has been previously

defined as the enthalpy h.So the relation in Eq.reduces
to

ENERGY ANALYSIS OF STEADY-FLOW SYSTEMS

 A large number of engineering devices such as turbines,

compressors, and nozzles operate for long periods of time
under the same conditions once the transient start-up
period is completed and steady operation is established, and
they are classified as steady-flow devices.
 Processes involving such devices can be represented
reasonably well by a somewhat idealized process, called the
steady-flow process, which was defined in Chap. 1 as a
process during which a fluid flows through a control volume
steadily.
 That is, the fluid properties can change from point to point
within the control volume, but at any point, they remain
constant during the entire process. (Remember, steady means
no change with time.)
12/20/2017 55
During a steady-flow process,
 The volume V, the mass m, and the total energy content E of the
control volume remain constant as shown in figure. As a result, the
boundary work is zero for steady-flow systems (since Vcv =
constant), and
 the total mass or energy entering the control volume must be equal to
the total mass or energy leaving it (since mcv = constant and
Ecv=constant). These observations greatly simplify the analysis.

Fig. Under steady-flow conditions, the mass and energy

contents of a control volume remain constant.
12/20/2017 56
 During a steady-flow process, the total energy content of a
control volume remains constant (Ecv= constant), and thus the
change in the total energy of the control volume is zero
(ΔEcv=0).
 Therefore, the amount of energy entering a control volume in
all forms (by heat, work, and mass) must be equal to the
amount of energy leaving it. Then the rate form of the general
energy balance reduces for a steady-flow process to

12/20/2017 57
 Noting that energy can be transferred by heat, work, and mass only, the
energy balance for a general steady-flow system can also be written more
explicitly as

More often we write this result as

12/20/2017 58
 For single-stream devics,the steady-flow energy balance equation
becomes

12/20/2017 59
SOME STEADY-FLOW ENGINEERING DEVICES

 Many engineering devices operate essentially under the

same conditions for long periods of time. The components
of a steam power plant (turbines, compressors, heat
exchangers, and pumps), for example, operate nonstop for
months before the system is shut down for maintenance
(Fig. ).
 Therefore, these devices can be conveniently analyzed as
steady-flow devices. In this section, some common steady-
flow devices are described, and the thermodynamic aspects
of the flow through them are analyzed. The conservation of
mass and the conservation of energy principles for these
devices are illustrated with examples.

12/20/2017 60
12/20/2017 61
Nozzles and Diffusers
 Nozzles and diffusers are commonly utilized in jet engines,
rockets, spacecraft, and even garden hoses.
 A nozzle is a device that increases the velocity of a fluid at the
expense of pressure.
 A diffuser is a device that increases the pressure of a fluid by
slowing it down.

That is, nozzles and diffusers perform opposite tasks.

Fig. Nozzles and diffusers are shaped so that they cause large
changes
12/20/2017
in fluid velocities and thus kinetic energies. 62
12/20/2017 63
 For flow through nozzles, the heat transfer,work,and potential energy are
normally neglected, and nozzles have one entrance and one exit. The
conservation of energy becomes

12/20/2017 64
Turbines and Compressors
 In steam, gas, or hydroelectric power plants, the device that
drives the electric generator is the turbine.
 As the fluid passes through the turbine, work is done against
the blades, which are attached to the shaft. As a result, the shaft
rotates, and the turbine produces work.
 Compressors, as well as pumps and fans, are devices used to
increase the pressure of a fluid.
 Work is supplied to these devices from an external source
through a rotating shaft. Therefore, compressors involve work
inputs.

12/20/2017 65
 Even though these three devices function similarly, they do differ in the
tasks they perform.
 A fan increases the pressure of a gas slightly and is mainly used to
mobilize a gas.
 A compressor is capable of compressing the gas to very high
pressures.
 Pumps work very much like compressors except that they handle
liquids instead of gases.
 Turbines produce power output whereas compressors,pumps,and
fans require power input.

Throttling Valves
 Throttling valves are any kind of flow-restricting devices that cause a
significant pressure drop in the fluid.
 Some familiar examples are ordinary adjustable valves, capillary tubes, and
porous plugs .
Unlike turbines, they produce a pressure drop without involving any work. The
pressure drop in the fluid is often accompanied by a large drop in
temperature, and for that reason throttling devices are commonly used in
refrigeration and air-conditioning applications.

Fig. Throttling valves are devices that cause large pressure drops in the fluid.

 For a control volume
enclosing such a device, the
mass and energy rate balances
reduce at steady state to

 There is usually no significant heat transfer with the surroundings and the
change in potential energy from inlet to exit is negligible. With these
idealizations, the mass and energy rate balances combine to give

 Although velocities may be relatively high in the vicinity of the restriction,

measurements show in most cases that the change in the specific kinetic energy of
the gas or liquid between these locations can be neglected. With this further
simplification, the last equation reduces to
h1 = h2
 When the flow through a valve or other restriction is idealized in this way, the
process is called a throttling process. 72
Mixing Chambers
 In engineering applications, mixing two streams of fluids is not a rare occurrence.
The section where the mixing process takes place is commonly referred to as a
mixing chamber. The mixing chamber does not have to be a distinct “chamber.”
An ordinary T-elbow or a Y-elbow in a shower, for example, serves as the mixing
chamber for the cold- and hot-water streams.

Fig. The T-elbow of an ordinary shower serves as the mixing chamber

for the hot- and the cold-water streams.
