Thermodynamics

1.Basic concepts

Definition of Thermodynamics

The name thermodynamics stems from the Greek words therme (heat) and

dynamis (power), which is most descriptive of the early efforts to convert

heat into power.

Thermodynamics may be defined as follow:

_ Thermodynamics is an axiomatic science which deals with the relations

among heat, work and properties of system which are in equilibrium. It

describes state and changes in state of physical systems.

Thermodynamics basically entails four laws or axioms known as Zeroth,

First, Second and Third law of thermodynamics.

_ The First law throws light on concept of internal energy.

_ The Zeroth law deals with thermal equilibrium and establishes a concept

of temperature.

_ The Second law indicates the limit of converting heat into work and

introduces the principle of increase of entropy.

_ The Third law defines the absolute zero of entropy.

These laws are based on experimental observations and have no

mathematical proof. Like all physical laws, these laws are based on logical

reasoning.

1. A system is defined as a quantity of matter or a region in space chosen for

study.

2. Surroundings: The mass or region outside the system.

3. Boundary: The real or imaginary surface that separates the system from

its surroundings.. The boundary of a system can be fixed or movable.fig 1.1

4. A closed system (also known as a control mass) consists of a fixed

amount of mass, and no mass can cross its boundary.fig 1.2

5. An open system, or a control volume, as it is often called, is a properly

selected region in space. It usually encloses a device that involves mass flow

such as a compressor, turbine, or nozzle. Both mass and energy can cross the

boundary of a control volume. Fig. 1-3

.

6. Extensive and Intensive properties:

Extensive – the property value for the system is the sum of the values of the

parts into which the system is divided (depends on the system size) e.g.,

mass, volume, energy

Intensive – the property is independent of system size (value may vary

throughout the system), e.g., pressure, temperature fig 1-4

Fig(1-4) Intensive and Extensive properties

Fig. 1–4

5

Extensive properties per unit mass are called specific properties. Some

examples of specific properties are specific volume (v = V/m) and specific

total energy (e = E/m).

7. Density and Specific gravity

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

1

The reciprocal of density is the specific volume v, 2

Specific gravity, or relative density: is defined as the ratio of the density of

a substance to the density of some standard substance at a specified

temperature (usually water at 4°C, for which ρ = 1000 kg/m3). That is,

3

The weight of a unit volume of a substance is called specific weight and

is expressed as 4

8. Thermodynamic equilibrium and State

Thermodynamic equilibrium is a situation in which thermodynamic

system does not undergo any change in its state.

Let us consider a steel glass full of hot milk kept in open atmosphere. It is

quite obvious that the heat from milk shall be continuously transferred to

atmosphere because the temperature of milk, glass and atmosphere are not

alike. During the transfer of heat from milk the temperature of milk could be

seen to decrease continually. Temperature attains some final value and does

not change any more. This is the equilibrium state at which the properties

stop showing any change in themselves. Fig(1-5)

6

System state: – condition of the thermodynamic system as described by its

properties (P1,T1,….).

A system is at steady-state if none of the system properties change with

time.

Fig(1-5) thermal equilibrium

9. Processes and Cycles

A process is the transformation of a system from one state to another state.

A cycle is a sequence of processes that begins and ends at the same state.

Example showing a cycle consisting of two processes fig (1-6)

Fig(1-6) Processes and Cycles

11. Pressure

Pressure is defined as a normal force exerted by a fluid per unit area, it

has the unit of Newtons per square meter (N/m2), which is called a pascal

(Pa). That is,

1 Pa = 1 N/m2

The other pressure unit commonly used in practice is bar

1 bar=105 Pa=0.1 Mpa=100 kPa

The actual pressure at a given position is called the absolute pressure,

and it is measured relative to absolute vacuum (i.e., absolute zero

pressure). Most pressure-measuring devices, however, are calibrated to

read zero in the atmosphere, and so they indicate the difference between

the absolute pressure and the local atmospheric pressure.

This difference is called the gage pressure. Pressures below atmospheric

pressure are called vacuum pressures.

Absolute, gage, and vacuum pressures are all positive quantities and are

related to each other by

Pgage=Pabs - Patm 5

Pvac= Patm - Pabs 6

11. Temperature

Temperature can be defined as a measure of “hotness” or “coldness,”

The commonly used mercury-in-glass thermometer, for example, is

based on the expansion of mercury with temperature.

Temperature Scales

The Kelvin scale is related to the Celsius scale by

T (K) = T (°C) + 273.15 7

8

The Rankine scale is related to the Fahrenheit scale by

T (R) = T (°F) + 459.67 8

It is common practice to round the constant in the above Eqs. are (273) and

(460) respectively.

The temperature scales in the two unit systems are related by

T (R) = 1.8 T (K) 9

T (°F) =1.8T (°C) + 32 10

A comparison of various temperature scales is given in Fig. (1-7)

Fig. (1-7) comparison of various temperature scales

Unites:

SI units will be used throughout our lectures: The international system of

units was adopted by General Conference of Weight and Measuring in 1960.

In SI units six physical quantities are arbitrarily assigned unit value and

hence all other physical quantities are derived from these. The six quantities

are as follows:

0 Absolute zero

Then for example, velocity = length/time has units m/s, acceleration =

velocity/time has units m/s2 , volume = length x length x length has units of

m3 and so on.

Working Substance: it is a matter contained within a the boundaries of the

system can be liquid, vapour or gas.

At any instant the state of the working substance may be define by certain

characteristics called properties such as temperature ( T ), pressure (p ),

specific volume ( ), internal energy ( E ), enthalpy ( h ) and entropy (s). It

has ben found that, for any pure working substance, only two independent

properties suffice to define completely the state of the fluid.

11

2. Heat and Work

Heat

When two systems at different temperatures are brought into contact

there are observable changes in some of their properties and changes

continue till the two don’t attain the same temperature if contact is

prolonged. Thus, there is some kind of energy interaction at the boundary

which causes change in temperatures. This form of energy interaction is

called heat. Heat is defined as the form of energy that is transferred between

two systems (or a system and its surroundings) by virtue of a temperature

difference

The heat transfer to the system is assigned with positive (+) sign while the

heat transfer from the system is assigned with negative (–) sign.

The science of thermodynamics deals with the amount of heat transfer as a

system undergoes a process from one equilibrium state to another, and

makes no reference to how long the process will take. But in engineering, we

are often interested in the rate of heat transfer, which is the topic of the

science of heat transfer.

Heat can be transferred in three different modes: conduction, convection,

and radiation. All modes of heat transfer require the existence of a

temperature difference, and all modes are from the high-temperature

medium to a lower-temperature one. Below we give a brief description of

each mode.

I-CONDUCTION Conduction is the transfer of energy from the more energetic particles of a

substance to the adjacent less energetic ones as a result of interactions

11

between the particles. Conduction can take place in solids, liquids, or gases

as shown in Fig (2-1)

. Conduction law is called Fourier’s law of heat conduction after J.

Fourier, who expressed it first in his heat transfer text in 1822.

wall of thickness Δx and area A.

12

II- CONVECTION

Convection is the mode of energy transfer between a solid surface and the

adjacent liquid or gas that is in motion, and it involves the combined effects

of conduction and fluid motion.fig (2-2). And is conveniently expressed by

Newton’s law of cooling as

2

Where:

h is the convection heat transfer coefficient in W/m2 · °C.

As is the surface area through which convection heat transfer takes place.m2

Ts is the surface temperature

T is the temperature of the fluid sufficiently far from the surface.

fig (2-2). Heat transfer by Convection

Convection is called forced convection if the fluid is forced to flow over the

surface by external means such as a fan, pump, or the wind. In contrast,

convection is called natural (or free) convection if the fluid motion is

caused by buoyancy forces that are induced by density differences due to the

variation of temperature in the fluid.

13

III- RADIATION In heat transfer studies we are interested in thermal radiation, which

is the form of radiation emitted by bodies because of their temperature.

The idealized surface that emits radiation at this maximum rate is called a

blackbody, and the radiation emitted by a blackbody is called blackbody

radiation (Fig. below). The radiation emitted by all real surfaces is less than

the radiation emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature, and is

expressed as given by the Stefan–Boltzmann law

3

Where:

Ɛ is the emissivity of the surface whose value is in the range ,

is the Stefan–Boltzmann constant.

Another important radiation property of a surface is its absorptivity α ,

which is the fraction of the radiation energy incident on a surface that is

absorbed by the surface whose value is in the range. fig (2-3)

fig (2-3) heat transfer by radiation

When a surface of emissivity and surface area As at an absolute temperature

Ts is completely enclosed by a much larger (or black) surface at absolute

temperature Tsurr separated by a gas (such as air) that does not intervene with

radiation, the net rate of radiation heat transfer between these two surfaces is

given by

Gas Laws

Thermodynamic analysis relies largely upon the gas laws, which are known

as Boyle’s law (1662) and Charle’s law (1787).

Boyle’s law says that if temperature of a gas is held constant then its molar

volume is inversely proportional to the pressure. Mathematically it can be

related as p = constant.

Here p is the pressure and is the molar volume of gas, i.e. volume per

mole. Or (P1V1=P2V2) 4

Charle’s law says that for the pressure of gas held constant the volume of

gas is directly proportional to the temperature of gas. Mathematically it can

be given as /T = constant, where T is the temperature of the gas.

Or (V1/T1=V2/T2) 5

Ideal Gas

Engineering thermodynamics deals with different systems having gaseous

working fluids. Some gases behave as ideal gas and some as non-ideal gas.

In the range of practical interest, many familiar gases such as air, nitrogen,

oxygen, hydrogen, helium, argon, neon, krypton, and even heavier gases

such as carbon dioxide can be treated as ideal gases with negligible error

Equation of State

Any equation that relates the pressure, temperature, and specific volume of a

substance is called an equation of state.

There are several equations of state, some simple and others very complex. The

simplest and best-known equation of state for substances in the gas phase is the

ideal-gas equation of state. This equation predicts the P-v-T behavior of a gas

quite accurately within some properly selected region.

15

6

The gas constant R is different for each gas and is determined from

Where:

Ru is the universal gas constant and M is the molar mass (also called

molecular weight) of the gas. The constant Ru is the same for all substances,

and its value is

The molar mass M( can simply be defined as the mass of one kmol

(also called a kilogram-mole, abbreviated kgmol) in kilograms.

Real Gas

When a gas is found to disobey the perfect gas law, i.e. the equation of state

for ideal gas, then it is called ‘real gas’. Deviation of real gas from ideal gas

necessitates the suitable equation of state the ideal gas equation of state suits

the gas behaviour when intermolecular attraction and volume occupied by

the molecules themselves is negligibly small in reference to gas volume. At

high pressures intermolecular forces and volume of molecules both increase

and so the gas behaviour deviates from ideal gas to real gas. This deviation

from ideal-gas behavior at a given temperature and pressure can accurately

be accounted for by the introduction of a correction factor called the

compressibility factor Z defined as

Or 7

Z =1 for ideal gases. For real gases Z can be greater than or less than unity

16

Other Equations of State

The ideal-gas equation of state is very simple, but its range of applicability is

limited. It is desirable to have equations of state accurately over a larger

region with no limitations. Such equations are naturally more complicated.

Several equations have been proposed for this purpose we shall discuss only

three: the van der Waals equation because it is one of the earliest, the

Beattie-Bridgeman equation of state because it is one of the best known and

is reasonably accurate, and the Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation because it is

one of the more recent and is very accurate.

1-Van der Waals Equation of State

The van der Waals equation of state was proposed in 1873, and it has two

constants that are determined from the behavior of a substance at the critical

point. It is given by

8

Where:

The constants a and b can be determined for any substance from the critical

point data alone given in special tables

2-Beattie-Bridgeman Equation of State

The Beattie-Bridgeman equation, proposed in 1928, is an equation of state

based on five experimentally determined constants. It is expressed as

9

Where

The constants appearing in the above equation are given in tables

17

Benedict-Webb-Rubin Equation of State

Benedict, Webb, and Rubin extended the Beattie-Bridgeman equation in

1940 by raising the number of constants to eight. It is expressed as

…………………………………………………………………………...10

The values of the constants appearing in this equation are given in tables

Example1. A vessel of 5 m3 capacity contains air at 100 kPa and

temperature of 300K. Some air is removed from vessel so as to reduce

pressure and temperature to 50 kPa and 7ºC respectively. Find the amount

of air removed and volume of this mass of air at initial states of air. Take R

= 287 J/kg.K for air.

Solution:

The amount of air removed=

The volume of air removed

Example 2.Determine the pressure of 5 kg carbon dixoide contained in a

vessel of 2 m3 capacity at 27º C, considering it as perfect gas. The universal

gas constant Ru=8.314

, molecular weight of co2 =44.01

Solution

18

Example 3.A vessel has two compartments ‘A’ and ‘B’ as shown with

pressure gauges mounted on each compartment. Pressure gauges of A and B

read 400 kPa and 150 kPa respectively. Determine the absolute pressures

existing in each compartment if the local barometer reads 720 mm Hg.

19

Work

Work is the energy transfer associated with force acting through a

distance. In thermodynamics the work can be defined as follows:

“Work shall be done by the system if the total effect outside the system is

equivalent to the raising of weight and this work shall be positive work”.

In above definition the work has been defined as positive work and says that

there need not be actual raising of weight but the effect of the system

behaviour must be reducible to the raising of a weight and nothing else. Its

units are N. m or Joule. Let us look at a piston cylinder mechanism (closed

system), where high pressure air is filled inside the cylinder fitted with a

piston exerting force against some resistance. As the piston moves a distance

say ‘l’, the work would be done. It can be reduced to the raising of weight by

replacing this resisting system by a frictionless pulley and lever such that a

weight W is raised.

From the thermodynamic definition of work the sign convention established

as positive work shall be the one which is done by the system while the

negative work shall be the one that is done upon the system. Fig(2-4)

Fig(2-4) the work

21

If the gas is made to expand due to heating, the piston shall undergo

displacement and say the piston displacement is dx. If the force exerted by

gas on face of piston is F and the cross section area of piston is A, then the

displacement work done may be given by:

dW = F · dx

For the gas pressure being p, the force may be given by F = p · A.

Substituting for F,

dW = p · A · dx

or, dW = p · dV, where dV is the elemental change in volume or the

volumetric displacement. If the total displacement of piston is given by L

then the total work can be had by integrating the above dW with respect to x

for displacement L, or with respect to volume for volume change.

The zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

If two bodies are separately in thermal equilibrium with a third body

then they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other.

3. The First Law of Thermodynamics

The concept of energy and the hypothesis that it can be neither created

nor destroyed, this is the Principle of the Conservation of Energy. The

first law of thermodynamics is merely one statement of this general

principle with particular reference to heat energy and work.

The First Law of thermodynamics can be stated as follows:

When a system under goes a thermodynamics cycle then the net heat

supplied to the system from its surroundings is equal to the net work done

by the system on its surroundings.

In symbols:

dWdQ

Where: represent the sum for a complete cycle.

I-The Steady Flow Energy Equation

This equation is a mathematical statement of the principle of the

conservation of energy as applied to the flow of fluid through a

thermodynamic system.fig (3-1)

The various forms of energy which fluid can have are as follow:

a- Potential Energy: PE

If the fluid is at some height Z above a given datum level, then, as a

result of its mass it possesses potential energy with respect to that

datum. Thus, for unit mass of fluid, in the close vicinity of the earth

Potential energy = g.Z

b- Kinetic Energy: KE

If the fluid is in motion then it possesses kinetic energy. If the fluid is

lowing with velocity C then, for unit mass of fluid,

Kinetic energy = 2

2C

c- Internal Energy: U

It is the energy stored within a fluid which results from the internal

motion of its atoms and molecules.

22

All fluids store energy. The store of energy within any fluid can be

increased or decreased as the result of various processes carried out on

or by the fluid. If the internal energy of unit mass of fluid is being

discussed this is called the specific internal energy by u.

d- Flow or Displacement Energy: DE

Any volume of fluid entering or leaving a system must displace an

equal volume ahead of itself in order to enter or leave the system.

Displacement energy = Pv

e- Heat Received or Rejected: q

During its passage through the system the fluid can have a direct

reception or rejection of heat energy through the system boundary. This

is designated by q. Thus if

Heat is received then q is +ve

Heat is rejected then q is –ve

Heat is neither received nor rejected then q = 0

f- External Work Done: w

During its passage through the system the fluid can do external work or

have external work done on it. This is designated by w.

External work is done by the fluid then w is +ve

External work is done on the fluid then w is -ve

If no external work is done on or by the fluid then w =0

Applying the principle of conservation of energy to the system, then,

Total energy entering the system = Total energy leaving the system

power developed by the turbine is 14000 kW. The enthalpies of the gases

at inlet and outlet are 1200 and 360 kJ/kg respectively and the velocities

of the gas at inlet and outlet are 60 and 150 m/s respectively. Find the

III-Unsteady Flow Energy Equation (U.S.F.E.E.)

During a steady-flow process, no changes occur within the control volume.

Many processes of interest, however, involve changes within the control

volume with time. Such processes are called unsteady-flow

26

The mass balance for any system undergoing any process can be expressed

where is the change in the mass of the system.

For control volumes, it can also be expressed more explicitly as

13

Where i =inlet, e = exit, 1 =initial state, and 2 =final state of the control

volume. When analyzing an unsteady-flow process, we must keep track of

the energy content of the control volume as well as the energies of the

incoming and outgoing flow streams.

Energy balance

Most unsteady-flow processes, however, can be represented reasonably well

by the uniform-flow process, and then the energy balance for a uniform-

flow system can be expressed explicitly as

14

Following two cases only will be discussed:

1. Emptying a tank or tank discharge.

2. Filling a tank.

Example 1. An air receiver of volume 5.5 m3 contains air at 16 bar and

42°C. A valve is opened and some air is allowed to blow out to atmosphere.

And

m1 = Initial mass of fluid,

h1= Initial specific enthalpy

c1= Initial fluid velocity

z1= Initial fluid elevation

And

m2 = Final mass of fluid

h2= Final specific enthalpy

c2= Final fluid velocity

z2= Final fluid elevation

Where:

mi = inlet mass of fluid

hi= inlet specific enthalpy

ci=inlet fluid velocity

zi= inlet fluid elevation

And

me = exit mass of fluid

he= exit specific enthalpy

ce= exit fluid velocity

ze= exit fluid elevation

27

The pressure of the air in the receiver drops rapidly to 12 bar when the

valve is then closed. Assuming that the mass in the receiver undergoes a

reversible adiabatic process, calculate the mass of air which has left the

receiver.

Solution.

Initial volume of air, V1 = 5.5 m3

Initial pressure of air, p1 = 16 bar

Initial temperature of air, T1 = 42 + 273 = 315 K

Final volume of air, V2 = V1 = 5.5 m3

Final pressure of air, p2 = 12 bar

Find Mass of air which left the receiver:

Mass balance

Mass of air in the initial condition,

The mass in the receiver undergoes a reversible adiabatic process, then

Now mass of air in the receiver in final condition,

Reversible and Irreversible Processes

Reversible process: A reversible process (also sometimes known as quasi-

static process) is one which can be stopped at any stage and reversed so that

the system and surroundings are exactly restored to their initial states.

This process has the following characteristics:

1. It must pass through the same states on the reversed path as were initially

visited on the forward path.

2. This process when undone will leave no history of events in the

surroundings.

3. It must pass through a continuous series of equilibrium states.

No real process is truly reversible but some processes may approach

reversibility, to close approximation.

Examples: Some examples of nearly reversible processes are :

(i) Frictionless relative motion. (ii) Expansion and compression of spring.

(iii) Frictionless adiabatic expansion or compression of fluid. (iv) Polytropic

expansion or compression of fluid. (v) Isothermal expansion or compression.

Irreversible process: The irreversibility is the characteristics of the system

which forbids system from retracing the same path upon reversal of the

factors causing the state change

Examples:

(i) Relative motion with friction; (ii) Combustion

(iii) Diffusion; (iv) Free expansion

(v) Throttling ;(vi) Electricity flow through a resistance

(vii) Heat transfer; (viii) Plastic deformation.

31

An irreversible process is usually represented by a dotted (or discontinuous)

line joining the end states to indicate that the intermediate states are

indeterminate within the working fluid.

Application of the Concept of Work to a Thermodynamic System

Different types of thermodynamic processes are as detailed below.

(i) Constant pressure process or isobaric process: It refers to the

thermodynamic process in which there is no change in pressure during the

process. they are also known as isobaric processes. To understand let us take

a cylindrical vessel having gas in it. It has a piston above it. Piston is free to

reciprocate in the cylinder. Under normal situation piston shall be subjected

to atmospheric pressure. Now, let heat be added to cylinder from bottom of

cylinder. Due to heat addition, presuming energy transfer taking place

reversibly and system always remaining in equilibrium, the gas shall try to

expand. Expansion of gas results in raising up of the piston and it attains a

new state say 2. Process is shown on p-V diagram in Fig (3-3).

The work involved in the raising of piston shall be given by,

(ii) Constant volume process or isochoric process: When a fluid undergoes

a thermodynamic process in a fixed enclosed space such that the process

occurs at constant volume, then the process is called constant volume

process or isochoric process. Let us consider heating of a gas in fixed

enclosure at constant volume. On p–V diagram this process is represented by

a vertical line as shown in Fig. (3-4)

(iii) Constant temperature process or isothermal process: Thermodynamic

process in which the temperature remains constant is called constant

temperature or isothermal process. In this case the gas or vapour may be

heated at constant temperature and there shall be no change in internal

energy. The work done will be equal to the amount of heat supplied, as

shown ahead.

(iv) Adiabatic process: An adiabatic process is the thermodynamic process

in which there is no heat interaction during the process, i.e. during the

process, Q = 0. In these processes the work interaction is there at the

expense of internal energy. If we talk of adiabatic expansion then it shall

mean that work is done at the cost of its own internal energy. The adiabatic

process follows the law where is called adiabatic index

and is given by the ratio of two specific heats. There are two ways a process

can be adiabatic: Either the system is well insulated, or both the system and

the surroundings are at the same temperature and therefore there is no

driving force (temperature difference) for heat transfer. The adiabatic

expansion process is shown on Fig (3-6). Work done during expansion shall

(v) Polytropic process: it is the most commonly used process in practice. In

this, the thermodynamic process is said to be governed by the law

where n is the index which can vary from –to +�. Figure

of process indicated for different values of n.

(vi) Hyperbolic process: Hyperbolic process is the one in which product of

pressure and volume remains constant during the process. Hyperbolic

process shall also be isothermal process.

36

(vii) Free Expansion: Free expansion, as the name implies refers to the

unrestrained expansion of a gas. Let us take an insulated tank having two

compartments separated by a partition, say A and B.

Assume that compartment A is filled with gas while B is having vacuum. If

now the partition is removed and gas allowed to occupy the whole volume of

tank, then the gas expands to fill the complete volume space. New pressure

of gas will be lesser as compared to initial pressure of gas occupying the

compartment A. A close look at the expansion process shows that the

expansion due to removal of partition is unresisted expansion due to gas

expanding in vacuum. This is also known as free expansion. The reverse of

free expansion is impossible and so it is an irreversible process Fig (3-7).

Fig (3-7) Free Expansion process

During free expansion no work shall be done by the gas or on the gas due to

no boundary displacement in the system. Wfree expansion = 0

Also in the above there shall be no heat interaction as tank is insulated. From

first law of thermodynamics

Or, 21

, i.e. initial and final internal energies are same, which means for a perfect

gas initial and final temperatures of gas are same.

37

(viii) Throttling process: A flow of fluid is said to be throttled when there

is some restriction to the flow, when the velocities before and after the

restriction are either equals or negligibly, and when there is negligibly heat

loss to the surroundings. Fig (3-8)

Specific heat

It is usually defined as the heat required to raise unit mass of

substance through one degree temperature rise.

This unit change in temperature may be realized under constant

volume and constant pressure conditions separately.

For small quantity we have:

c = specific heat, and

Relationship between Two Specific Heats

Consider a perfect gas being heated at constant pressure from T1 to T2;

according to non-flow equation,

Q = (U2 – U1) + W

That led to:

Q = mcv (T2 – T1) + W

In a constant pressure process, the work done by the fluid,

W = p (V2 – V1)

= m R (T2 – T1)

On substituting

Q = mcv (T2 – T1) + m R (T2 – T1) = m (cv + R) (T2 – T1)

But for a constant pressure process,

Q = m cp (T2 – T1)

By equating the two expressions, we have

m(cv + R)(T2 – T1) = mcp(T2 – T1)

41

cv + R = cp

or cp – cv = R

Dividing both sides by cv, we get

Example1 : Figure shows a system comprising of gas in cylinder at pressure

of 689 kPa.

Fluid expands from a volume of 0.04 m3 to 0.045 m3 while pressure remains

constant. Paddle wheel in the system does a work of 4.88 kJ on the system.

Determine (a) work done by system on the piston (b) the net amount of work

done on or by the system.

volume occupied is 0.0658 m3. Calculate the heat supplied and work done,

A constant pressure adiabatic system contains 0.13 kg of air at 1.3 bar. The

system receives paddle work. The temperature of the air rises from 29 to 185 oC. Find the total work, mechanical work, change in internal energy and

Liquid Vapour Equilibrium :

In figure 1 heat is added at constant pressure Po to the liquid water

at temperature less than 100 oC. as heat is added, the water

temperature rises until it reaches 100 oC, ( figure 2). This

temperature is called as saturated temperature of water at

atmospheric pressure. The amount of heat added is calculated from

the equation:-

).( 12 TTmcHQ w

In figure 3 the water boils and some of liquid is going from saturated

liquid to saturated vapour, the mixture of saturated liquid and

saturated vapour is called wet steam.

TmcwHQ

In figure 4 further transfer of heat to the wet steam will convert the

suspended water droplets into steam and finally a state will be

reached when all water has been turned into steam. The steam is

then called dry saturated steam.

TmcwHQ

In figure 5 Still further transfer of heat to the dry saturated steam

produces a temperature rise and the steam now becomes super

heated steam.

It thus appear that there are three stages in the production of steam:

Stage 1 (process 1-2)

This is the warming phase in which the temperature of water

increases up to saturation temperature. The energy required to

produce this temperature rise is called the liquid enthalpy.

Stage 2 ( process 2-4)

This takes place at constant temperature and is the stage during

which the transformation from water into steam takes place. In this

stage all water saturation temperature at the beginning and all dry

saturated steam at saturation at the end. Between these two

extremes, the steam formed will always be wet steam. The energy

required to produce the total change from all water to all steam is

It is the saturation properties of vapour at saturation temperature

steam properties, such as gggg svuh &,, .

2-Wet vapour:

For wet vapour the total enthalpy of the mixture is given by the enthalpy of

saturated liquid present plus the enthalpy of dry saturated vapour present.,

thus for a mass of mt of wet steam contains mg of dry vapour and mf of

3-Super heated vapour:

It is the steam of the substance at a temperature higher than saturated

temperature at a given pressure. Compared to saturated vapor, superheated

vapor is characterized by:

Lower pressures (P<Psat. at a given T)

Higher temperatures (T > Tsat. at a given P)

Higher specific volumes (v > vg at a given P or T)

Higher internal energies (u > ug at a given P or T)

Higher enthalpies (h > hg at a given P or T)

Interpolation

For properties which are not tabulated exactly in the tables it is necessary to

interpolate between the values tabulated. For example, to find v, u, h of dry

Saturated steam at 9.8 bar. it is necessary to interpolate between the values

given in the tables. The interpolation assumes a linear variation between the

two values (Fig below.),

i.e, ( t - 175.4)/ (179.9 - 175.4)=(9.8 - 9.)/(10-9) ,

T= 175.4 + [(9.8 - 9.)/(10-9)] * (179.9 - 175.4)

* In some cases a double interpolation is necessary.

For example, to find the enthalpy of superheated steam at 18.5 bar and 432

0C an interpolation between 15 bar and 20 bar is necessary, and interpolation

between 400 0C and 450

0C is also necessary. A tabular presentation is

usually better in such cases (Table 3). First find the enthalpy at 15 bar and

432 0C,

h = 3256 +[32 / 50]*(3364 - 3256) = 3256 + 0.64 * 108

h = 3325.1 kJ/kg

Now find the enthalpy at 20 bar, 432 'C,

h = 3248 + 0.64(3357 - 3248) = 3248 + 0.64*109

i.e, h = 3317.8 kJ/kg

47

Now interpolate between h at 15 bar. 432 'C, and h at 20 bar, 432 'C in order

to find h at 18.5 bar, 432 'C,

i.e, h = 3325.1- [3.5/5]*(3325.1 - 3317.8)

(Note the negative sign in this case since h at 15 bar. 432'C is larger than h at

20 bar. 432 'C) Then

h at 18.5 bar, 432"C =3325.1 - (0.7 * 7.3) = 3320 kJ/kg

Critical Temperature and Critical Pressure

The horizontal line that connects the saturated liquid and saturated vapor

states is much shorter as shown in Fig. below.

As the pressure is increased further, this saturation line continues to shrink,

and it becomes a point when the pressure reaches 22.06 MPa for the case of

water. This point is called the critical point, and it is defined as the point at

which the saturated liquid and saturated vapor states are identical.

The temperature, pressure, and specific volume of a substance at the critical

point are called, respectively, the critical temperature Tcr, critical pressure

Pcr, and critical specific volume vcr. The critical-point properties of water are

Pcr= 22.06 MPa, Tcr = 373.95°C, and vcr =0.003106 m3/kg. At pressures

above the critical pressure, there is not a distinct phase change process

Figure (4-1)

48

Fig (4-1) critical temperature and pressure

Above the critical state, there is no line that separates the compressed liquid

region and the superheated vapor region. However, it is customary to refer to

the substance as superheated vapor at temperatures above the critical

temperature and as compressed liquid at temperatures below the critical

temperature.

5. Second Law of Thermodynamics

Introduction

Consider the heating of a room by the passage of electric current

through a resistor. Again, the first law dictates that the amount of electric

energy supplied to the resistance wires be equal to the amount of energy

transferred to the room air as heat. Now let us attempt to reverse this

process. It will come as no surprise that transferring some heat to the wires

does not cause an equivalent amount of electric energy to be generated in the

wires.

It is clear from these arguments that processes proceed in a certain direction

and not in the reverse direction. The first law places no restriction on the

direction of a process, but satisfying the first law does not ensure that the

process can actually occur. This inadequacy of the first law to identify

whether a process can take place is remedied by introducing another general

principle, the second law of thermodynamics.

The use of the second law of thermodynamics is not limited to identifying

the direction of processes; it also asserts that energy has quality as well as

quantity. The first law is concerned with the quantity of energy and the

transformations of energy from one form to another with no regard to its

quality.

In the development of the second law of thermodynamics, it is very

convenient to have a hypothetical body with a relatively large thermal

energy capacity (mass x specific heat) that can supply or absorb finite

amounts of heat without undergoing any change in temperature. Such a body

is called a thermal energy reservoir, or just a reservoir. In practice, large

bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and rivers as well as the atmospheric

51

air can be modeled accurately as thermal energy reservoirs because of their

large thermal energy storage capabilities.

The air in a room, for example, can be treated as a reservoir in the analysis

of the heat dissipation from a TV set in the room, since the amount of heat

transfer from the TV set to the room air is not large enough to have a

noticeable effect on the room air temperature. A reservoir that supplies

energy in the form of heat is called a source, and one that absorbs energy in

the form of heat is called a sink

Heat Engines

Work can be converted to heat directly and completely, but converting heat

to work requires the use of some special devices. These devices are called

heat engines. Heat engines differ considerably from one another, but all can

be characterized by the following (Fig. 5-1):

1. They receive heat from a high-temperature source (solar energy, oil

furnace, nuclear reactor, etc.).

2. They convert part of this heat to work (usually in the form of a rotating

shaft).

3. They reject the remaining waste heat to a low-temperature sink (the

atmosphere, rivers, etc.).

4. They operate on a cycle.

The work-producing device that best fits into the definition of a heat engine

is the steam power plant

Thermal Efficiency Qout represents the magnitude of the energy wasted in order to complete the

cycle. But Qout is never zero; thus, the net work output of a heat engine is

always less than the amount of heat input. That is, only part of the heat

transferred to the heat engine is converted to work. The fraction of the heat

52

input that is converted to net work output is a measure of the performance of

a heat engine and is called the thermal efficiency (Fig. below).

For heat engines, the desired output is the net work output, and the required

input is the amount of heat supplied to the working fluid. Then the thermal

efficiency of a heat engine can be expressed as

The net work output of this power plant is simply the difference between the

total work output of the plant and the total work input

1

The net work can also be determined from the heat transfer data alone.

2

Fig (5-1-a)Part of the heat received by

a heat engine is converted to work,

while the rest is rejected to a sink.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics:

Kelvin–Planck Statement

It is impossible for any device that operates on a cycle to receive heat from a

single reservoir and produce a net amount of work.

That is, a heat engine must exchange heat with a low-temperature sink as

well as a high-temperature source to keep operating. The Kelvin–Planck

statement can also be expressed as no heat engine can have a thermal

efficiency of 100 percent

Refrigerators

We all know from experience that heat is transferred in the direction of

decreasing temperature, that is, from high-temperature mediums to low

temperature ones. This heat transfer process occurs in nature without

requiring any devices. The reverse process, however, cannot occur by itself.

The transfer of heat from a low-temperature medium to a high-temperature

one requires special devices called refrigerators.fig (5-2)

Coefficient of Performance The efficiency of a refrigerator is expressed in terms of the coefficient of

performance (COP), denoted by COPR. The objective of a refrigerator is to

remove heat (QL) from the refrigerated space. To accomplish this objective,

it requires a work input of Wnet,in. Then the COP of a refrigerator can be

expressed as

Clausius Statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

There are two classical statements of the second law—the Kelvin–Planck

statement, which is related to heat engines and discussed in the preceding

section, and the Clausius statement, which is related to refrigerators or heat

pumps. The Clausius statement is expressed as follows:

It is impossible to construct a device that operates in a cycle and produces

no effect other than the transfer of heat from a lower-temperature body to a

higher-temperature body.

It is common knowledge that heat does not, of its own volition, transfer from

a cold medium to a warmer one. The Clausius statement does not imply that

a cyclic device that transfers heat from a cold medium to a warmer one is

impossible to construct. In fact, this is precisely what a common household

refrigerator does. It simply states that a refrigerator cannot operate unless its

compressor is driven by an external power source, such as an electric motor

ENTROPY

Introduction

In heat engine theory, the term entropy plays a vital(fundamental) role

and leads to important results which by other methods can be obtained much

more laboriously (with difficulty).

It may be noted that all heat is not equally valuable for converting into work.

Heat that is supplied to a substance at high temperature has a greater

possibility of conversion into work than heat supplied to a substance at a

lower temperature.

“Entropy is a function of a quantity of heat which shows the possibility of

conversion of that heat into work.

The increase in entropy is small when heat is added at a high temperature

and is greater when heat addition is made at a lower temperature.

Thus for maximum entropy, there is minimum availability for

conversion into work and for minimum entropy there is maximum

availability (ease of use) for conversion into work.”

Microscopic Point of View:

Entropy is the measure of molecular disorder or randomness. As a system

becomes more disordered, the position of the molecules becomes less

predictable and the entropy increases. Entropy is the lowest in a solid

because molecules are held in place and simply vibrate and highest in a gas

where the molecules are free to move.

Applying the Clausius theorem to irreversible cyclic process

And for reversible cyclic process

56

This is the mathematical formulation of the second law of thermodynamics.

Consider a cycle made up of an irreversible process followed by a reversible

process

The entropy balance equation for a closed system is:

At adiabatic process Q=0

The entropy balance for a closed system and its surroundings can be written

as

Where:

Steady-flow balance

Change in entropy of

the system

Entropy transfer to the

system by heat transfer

Entropy generated in the system

due to the irreversibilities

Fig (5-3 ) Open system balance

57

The third law of thermodynamics states “When a system is at zero absolute

temperature, the entropy of system is zero”.

Zero entropy, however, means the absence of all molecular, atomic,

electronic and nuclear disorders. Thus, in practice we can determine the

change in entropy and not the absolute value of entropy.

Entropy may also be defined as the thermal property of a substance which

remains constant when substance is expanded or compressed adiabatically

in a cylinder”.

Entropy Change for an Ideal Gas

For entropy change in a closed system, apply first law neglecting KE and PE

effects, no shaft work in differential form

From 3and 4 yields:

These are the Gibb’s equations.

For a system undergoing a process from state 1 to state 2

58

For an ideal gas

Sub. i and iii in 6 yields:

Then, Sub. ii and iii in 7 yields:

If the specific heats cP

and cV

are taken as constant

59

Example1. Calculate the change in entropy of air, if it is throttled from 5

bar, 27ºC to 2 bar adiabatically.

Solution:

Here p1 = 5 bar, T1 = 300 K.

p2 = 2 bar, cp air = 1.004 kJ/kg.K

R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K

Entropy change may be given as

;

Example2. Oxygen is compressed reversibly and isothermally from 125 kPa

and 27ºC to a final pressure of 375kPa. R = 0.259 kJ/kg.K Determine

change in entropy of gas?

Reversible adiabatic process (or isentropic process)

For a reversible adiabatic process the entropy remains constant,

and hence the process is called an isentropic process.

61

For reversible sgen.=0

For adiabatic Q=0

Polytropic Process

The expression for ‘entropy change’ in polytropic process

(pvn = constant) can be obtained

And from the relations

And solve to yield:

liquid by heat transfer to the surroundings air, which is at 25 oC. What is the

net increase in entropy of the system plus the surroundings?

6. Carnot Cycle 1. Introduction

Thermodynamic cycles can be primarily classified based on their

utility such as for power generation, refrigeration etc. Based on this

thermodynamic cycles can be categorized as;

(i) Power cycles,

(ii) Refrigeration and heat pump cycles.

(i) Power cycles: Thermodynamic cycles which are used in devices

producing power are called power cycles. Power production can be had by

using working fluid either in vapour form or in gaseous form. When vapour

is the working fluid then they are called vapour power cycles, whereas in

case of working fluid being gas these are called gas power cycles. Thus,

power cycles shall be of two types

(a) Vapour power cycle,

(b) Gas power cycle.

(a) Vapour power cycles can be further classified as,

1. Carnot vapour power cycle

2. Rankine cycle

3. Reheat cycle

4. Regenerative cycle.

(b) Gas power cycles can be classified as,

1. Carnot gas power cycle

2. Otto cycle

3. Diesel cycle

4. Dual cycle

5. Stirling cycle

6. Ericsson cycle

7. Brayton cycle

63

(ii) Refrigeration and heat pump cycles: Thermodynamic cycles used for

refrigeration and heat pump are under this category. These cycles can be

classified as fallowing based on type of working fluid used:

(a) Carnot refrigeration cycle

(b) air refrigeration cycles

(c) Vapour compression refrigeration cycles

(d) Absorption refrigeration cycles

(a) Vapour power cycle

Carnot cycle will be discussed here

Carnot Vapour Power Cycle

Carnot cycle has already been defined earlier as an ideal cycle having

highest thermodynamic efficiency.

Let us use Carnot cycle for getting positive work with steam as working

fluid. Arrangement proposed for using Carnot vapour power cycle is as

follows.

1 – 2 = Reversible isothermal heat addition in the boiler

2 – 3 = Reversible adiabatic expansion in steam turbine

3 – 4 = Reversible isothermal heat rejection in the condenser

4 – 1 = Reversible adiabatic compression or pumping in feed water pump

Fig.1 Carnot vapour power cycle Fig.2 Arrangement for Carnot cycle

Assuming steady flow processes in the cycle and neglecting changes in

kinetic and potential energies, thermodynamic analysis may be carried out.

64

Example: A Carnot cycle works on steam between the pressure limits of 7

MPa and 7 kPa. Determine thermal efficiency, turbine work and

compression work per kg of steam.

Carnot showed in a paper written in 1824 that the most

efficient possible cycle is one in which all the heat

supplied is supplied at one fixed temperature, and all

the heat rejected is rejected at a lower fixed

temperature. The cycle there for consist of two

isothermal processes joined by two adiabatic processes.

Since all processes are reversible, then the adiabatic

processes in the cycle are also isentropic.

The Carnot cycle process are as follow

1. Isentropic compression process 0s 2. Heat added at high constant temperature. 3. Isentropic expansion process. 4. Heat rejected at low constant temperature.

7. Dew Point Temperature

1. Dry and Atmospheric Air

Air in the atmosphere normally contains some water vapor (or moisture) and

is referred to as atmospheric air. By contrast, air that contains no water

vapor is called dry air.

The atmospheric air can be treated as an ideal-gas mixture whose pressure

is the sum of the partial pressure of dry air Pa and that of water vapor Pv:

The enthalpy and enthalpy change of dry air can be determined from

2. Specific and Relative Humidity of Air The amount of water vapor in the air can be specified in various ways.

Probably the most logical way is to specify directly the mass of water

vapor present in a unit mass of dry air. This is called absolute or specific

humidity (also called humidity ratio) and is denoted by ω:

Where: P is the total pressure.

72

Consider 1 kg of dry air. By definition, dry air contains no water vapor,

and thus its specific humidity is zero. Now let us add some water vapor to

this dry air. The specific humidity will increase. As more vapor or

moisture is added, the specific humidity will keep increasing until the air

can hold no more moisture.

At this point, the air is said to be saturated with moisture, and it is called

saturated air. Any moisture introduced into saturated air will condense.

The amount of water vapor in saturated air at a specified temperature and

pressure can be determined from Eq. above by replacing Pv by Pg, the

saturation pressure of water at that temperature. Where Pg =Psat @ T

the comfort level depends more on the amount of moisture the air holds

(mv) relative to the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at the

same temperature (mg). The ratio of these two quantities is called the

relative humidity ϕ

The relative humidity ranges from 0 for dry air to 1 for saturated air.

3. dew-point temperature

The dew-point temperature Tdp is defined as the temperature at which

condensation begins when the air is cooled at constant pressure. In other

words, Tdp is the saturation temperature of water corresponding to the

vapor pressure Fig (7-1):

Tdp= Tsat @ Pv

73

Example:

In cold weather, condensation frequently occurs on the inner surfaces of the

windows due to the lower air temperatures near the window surface.

Consider a house that contains air at 20°C and 75 percent relative humidity.

At what window temperature will the moisture in the air start condensing on

the inner surfaces of the windows?

Solution

The saturation pressure of water at 20°C is Psat =2.3392 kPa

Discussion: Note that the inner surface of the window should be maintained

above 15.4°C if condensation on the window surfaces is to be avoided.

dew-point temperature on the T-s diagram of water.
