IntroductionIntroduction As an engineer designing a process, one of your principal jobs would be
o To account carefully for the energy that flows into and out of each process unit and
o To determine the overall energy requirement for the process
This by be done by writing energy balances on the process, in much the same way that you
write material balances to account for the mass flows to and from the process and its units
In process industries, wasting energy leads to reduced profits
Coal, natural gas and petroleum are the major energy sources being utilized.
Sun, winds, and tides; are sources for renewable energy.
Nuclear power generation is feasible, but the need for safe disposal of radioactive wastes
from nuclear reactors is a serious unresolved problem.
The tremendous increase in fuel prices and the environmental problems associated with the The tremendous increase in fuel prices and the environmental problems associated with the
combustion of fossil fuel are the deriving force for energy research.

Energy balanceEnergy balance Open system: is a system in which mass crosses the system boundary during the period of
time as the process occurs.
o Semibatch and continuous systems are open
Closed system: is a system in which no mass crosses the system boundary while the process
i t ki lis taking place.
o A batch process system is closed.
Energy may be transferred between such a system and its surroundings in two ways:
1. As heat, or energy that flows as a result of temperature difference between a system and
its surroundings.
o The direction of flow is always from a higher temperature to a lower one.
i d fi d i i h i i f d h f h dio Heat is defined as positive when it is transferred to the system from the surroundings.

difference, such as a force, a torque, or a voltage.
o work is defined as positive when it is done by the system on the surroundings
o For example, if a gas in a cylinder expands and moves a piston against a restraining force,
the gas does work on the piston (energy is transferred as work from the gas to itsthe gas does work on the piston (energy is transferred as work from the gas to its
surroundings, which include the piston).

Energy balanceEnergy balance In more general form, the first law states that the rate at which energy (kinetic + potential +
internal) is carried into a system by the input streams, plus the rate at which it enters as heat,
minus the rate at which it is transported out of the system by the output streams, minus the
rate at which it leaves as work, equals the rate of accumulation of energy in the system
