    1. Basic Concepts Theory at a Glance (For GATE, IES & PSUs)

    Intensive and Extensive Properties Intensive property: Whose value is independent of the size or extent i.e. mass of the system. These are, e.g., pressure p and temperature T. Extensive property: Whose value depends on the size or extent i.e. mass of the system (upper case letters as the symbols). e.g., Volume, Mass (V, M). If mass is increased, the value of extensive property also increases. e.g., volume V, internal energy U, enthalpy H, entropy S, etc. Specific property: It is a special case of an intensive property. It is the value of an extensive property per unit mass of system. (Lower case letters as symbols) eg: specific volume, density (v, ).

    Thermodynamic System and Control Volume In our study of thermodynamics, we will choose a small part of the universe to which we will

    apply the laws of thermodynamics. We call this subset a SYSTEM.

    The thermodynamic system is analogous to the free body diagram to which we apply the laws of mechanics, (i.e. Newtons Laws of Motion).

    The system is a macroscopically identifiable collection of matter on which we focus our attention (e.g., the water kettle or the aircraft engine).

    System Definition System: A quantity of matter in space which is analyzed during a problem. Surroundings: Everything external to the system. System Boundary: A separation present between system and surrounding.

    First Law of Thermodynamics:- Q = W + U 2000 = 40.236 + U U = 2000 40.236 = 1959.764 kJ Example 2. A fluid is contained in a cylinder piston arrangement that has a paddle that imparts work to the fluid. The atmospheric pressure is 760 mm of Hg. The paddle makes 10,000 revolutions during which the piston moves out 0.8m. The fluid exerts a torque of 1.275 N-m one the paddle. What is net work transfer, if the diameter of the piston is 0.6m? Solution: Work done by the stirring device upon the system W1 = 2TN = 2 1.275 10000 N-m = 80kJ This is negative work for the system.

    (Fig.)

    Work done by the system upon the surroundings. W2 = p.dV = p.(A L) = 101.325

    4 (0.6)2 0.80 = 22.9kJ

    This is positive work for the system. Hence the net work transfer for the system. W = W1 + W2 = - 80 + 22.9 = - 57.l kJ.

    IES-16. Ans. (b) Both A and R are correct but R is not correct explanation for A. Temperature is independent of thermometric property of fluid.

    IES-17. Ans. (d) IES-18. Ans. (d) But it will occur at absolute zero temperature. IES-19. Ans. (c) Time Constants: The time constant is the amount of time required for a

    thermocouple to indicated 63.2% of step change in temperature of a surrounding media. Some of the factors influencing the measured time constant are sheath wall thickness, degree of insulation compaction, and distance of junction from the welded cap on an ungrounded thermocouple. In addition, the velocity of a gas past the thermocouple probe greatly influences the time constant measurement. In general, time constants for measurement of gas can be estimated to be ten times as long as those for measurement of liquid.

Throttling Device: When a fluid flows through a constricted passage, like a partially opened value, an orifice, or a porous plug, there is an appreciable drop in pressure, and the flow is said to be throttled. Figure shown in below, the process of throttling by a prettily opened value on a fluid flowing in an insulated pipe. In the steady-flow energy equation-

    0, 0xWdQdm dm

    = =d And the changes in P. E. are very small and ignored. Thus, the S.F.E.E. reduces to

    1 22 2C Ch h+ = +

    (Fig.- Flow Through a Valve)

    Often the pipe velocities in throttling are so low that the K. E. terms are also negligible. So

    1 2h h= or the enthalpy of the fluid before throttling is equal to the enthalpy of the fluid after throttling. Turbine and Compressor: Turbines and engines give positive power output, whereas compressors and pumps require power input. For a turbine (Fig. below) which is well insulated, the flow velocities are often small, and the K.E. terms can be neglected. The S.F.E.E. then becomes

    The enthalpy of the fluid increase by the amount of work input. Heat Exchanger: A heat exchanger is a device in which heat is transferred from one fluid to another, Figure shown in below a steam condenser where steam condense outside the tubes and cooling water flows through the tubes.

    Figure (shows in below) a steam desuperheater where the temperature of the superheated steam is reduced by spraying water. If w1, w2, and w3 are the mass flow rates of the injected water, of the steam entering, and of the steam leaving, respectively, and h1, h2, and h3 are the corresponding enthalpies, and if K.E. and P.E. terms are neglected as before, the S.F.E.E. becomes 1 1 2 2 3 3w h w h w h + = and the mass balance gives w1 + w2 = w3
