The First Law of Thermodynamics
2
Outline Forms of Energy Energy Transfer The Energy Balance Kinetic, Potential and Internal Energies The Work Term Injection Work
3
Outline (Continued) Restricted Forms of the Energy Equation Some Common Processes Unsteady-State Systems Less Restricted Systems
4
Objectives Introduce the forms of energy and energy transfer. Introduce the energy equation. Apply the energy equation to solve fluid flow problems.
5
Summary Forms of energy: kinetic, potential, internal, electrostatic, magnetic, surface and nuclear energies. In the absence of nuclear effects, the energy balance reduces to (Accumulation)=(Flow In)-(Flow Out) The rate form is (Rate of Accumulation)=(Flow Rate In)-(Flow Rate Out)
6
Summary (Continued) Using the energy equation becomes
7
Summary (Continued) Restrictions: 1. No electrostatic, magnetic, surface and nuclear energy effects. 2. Contents of the system are uniform. 3. Uniform inflow and outflow streams. 4. g = constant
8
Summary (Continued) Some common devices (see restrictions in class notes): 1. Adiabatic throttle: 2. Turbine, pump and compressor:
9
Summary (Continued) 3.Heater or cooler: 4.Steady-flow chemical reactor (see class notes) Filling bottle problem. Calculations are by trial-and error using:
10
Summary (Continued) Less restricted systems include: 1. Multiple flows 2. Nonhomogeneous systems 3. Variable gravity 4. Motion in a centrifugal force field
