Introduction to Basic Concepts of Thermodynamics PTT 201/4 THERMODYNAMICS SEM 1 (2012/2013) Chapter 1: Introduction to Basic Concepts of Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics & energy The name thermodynamics stems from the Greek words therme (heat) and dynamis (power). Conservation of energy principle: During an interaction, energy can change from one form to another but the total amount of energy remains constant. Energy: The ability to cause changes. The first law of thermodynamics: Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms. The second law of thermodynamics: It asserts that energy has quality as well as quantity, and actual processes occur in the direction of decreasing quality of energy. Heat flows in the direction of decreasing temperature The first law of thermodynamics

Electric power generation by a wind turbine Example : Electric power generation by a wind turbine A school is paying $0.09/kWh for electric power. To reduce its power bill, the school install a wind turbines with a rated power of 30 kW. If the turbine operates 2200 hours per year at the rated power, determine the amount of electric power generated by the wind turbine and the money saved by the school per year. SOLUTION : Determine the total energy Determine the money saved

SOLUTION : Determine the total energy Total energy = (Energy per unit time) (Time interval) = (30 kW) (2200 h) = 66, 000 kWh Determine the money saved Money saved = (Total energy) (Unit cost of energy) = (66,000 kWh) ($0.09/kWh ) = $5940 Convert your answer of total energy in kJ. Total energy = 66,000 kWh 3600 s 1 kJ/s = 2.38 X 108 kJ 1 h 1 kW

pressure A normal force exerted by a fluid per unit area light Some basic pressure gages.

pressure Absolute pressure: The actual pressure at a given position. It is measured relative to absolute vacuum (i.e., absolute zero pressure). Gage pressure: The difference between the absolute pressure and the local atmospheric pressure. Most pressure-measuring devices are calibrated to read zero in the atmosphere, and so they indicate gage pressure. Vacuum pressures: Pressures below atmospheric pressure.

Variation of Pressure with Depth The pressure of a fluid at rest increases with depth (as a result of added weight).

Pressure, cont’ In a room filled with a gas, the variation of pressure with height is negligible. Pressure in a liquid at rest increases linearly with distance from the free surface. The pressure is the same at all points on a horizontal plane in a given fluid regardless of geometry, provided that the points are interconnected by the same fluid.

Pressure, cont’ light Pascal’s law: The pressure applied to a confined fluid increases the pressure throughout by the same amount. light Lifting of a large weight by a small force by the application of Pascal’s law.

manometer It is commonly used to measure small and moderate pressure differences. A manometer contains one or more fluids such as mercury, water, alcohol, or oil. The basic manometer. Measuring the pressure drop across a flow section or a flow device by a differential manometer. In stacked-up fluid layers, the pressure change across a fluid layer of density  and height h is gh.

BAROMETER AND ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE Atmospheric pressure is measured by a device called a barometer; thus, the atmospheric pressure is often referred to as the barometric pressure. A frequently used pressure unit is the standard atmosphere, which is defined as the pressure produced by a column of mercury 760 mm in height at 0°C (Hg = 13,595 kg/m3) under standard gravitational acceleration (g = 9.807 m/s2). The basic barometer.

Measuring Pressure with a Manometer Example : Measuring Pressure with a Manometer A manometer is used to measure the pressure in a tank. The fluid used has a specific gravity of 0.85, and the manometer column height is 55 cm, as shown in figure. If the local atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa, determine the absolute pressure within the tank.

SOLUTION = 96 kPa + 850 kg/m3 9.81 m/s2 0.55 m 1 N 1 kPa 1 kg.m/s2 1000 N/m2 = 100.6 kPa Gage pressure = 4.6 kPa Determine the gage pressure in the tank.

The tank is located on a mountain at an altitude of 1400 m where the atmospheric pressure is 85.6 kPa. Determine the air pressure in the tank if h1 = 0.1 m, h2 = 0.2 m and h3 = 0.35 m. Take the densities of water, oil and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3, 850 kg/m3 and 13600 kg/m3, respectively. Ans: P1 = 130 kPa
