The First Law of Thermodynamics
Learning Objectives
I.Identify the first law of thermodynamics as simply a statement of the conservation of energy principle, and it asserts that total energy is a thermodynamic property. |
| | | II.Develop the general energy balance, which is expressed as Ein - Eout = DEsystem is developed in a step-by-step manner using an intuitive approach. |
| | | III.Solve energy balance problems for closed (fixed mass) systems that involve heat and work interactions for general pure substances, ideal gases, and incompressible substances. |
| | | IV.Solve energy balance problems for steady flow systems and common steady-flow devices such as nozzles, compressors, turbines, throttling valves, mixers, and heat exchangers. |
| | | V.Apply the energy balance to general unsteady-flow processes with particular emphasis on the uniform-flow process, which is the model process for commonly encountered charging and discharging processes. |
