Study Notes

Work

  • Work is defined as a force acting through a displacement perpendicular to the force.
  • The formula for work: W = F x d, measured in N-m or Joules.
  • Work done by a system is always negative (-).

Thermodynamic Systems

  • Closed system: Allows mass flow across its boundaries.
  • Open system: Involves a flow of energy.

Quasi-Equilibrium Process

  • Deviation from thermodynamic equilibrium is significant.

Thermodynamics

  • First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy can be converted but not destroyed.
  • For a closed system: Energy entering the system = change in energy within the system + energy leaving the system.
  • Single Stream, Single Flow (SSSF) process: Energy entering the system ≠ energy leaving the system.
  • A closed system undergoing a steady-state process: Ein = ΔE + Eout and min = Δm + mout.
  • Closed system without work interaction with surroundings: Heat transfer = total work of the system.
  • Processes in a closed system are called non-flow processes.

Specific Enthalpy

  • Formula: h = u + pv

Scenario

  • Pressure in the cylinder: p=C/V
  • Latent vaporization process: turning a gas into a liquid.
  • Heat transfer per unit mass: q=Q/m
  • Work done by the system: Negative.
  • Final pressure in the cylinder: 200 KPa.
