2. What is Thermodynamics?
The science of energy, that
in
concerned with the ways
which energy is stored within a
body.
Energy transformations – mostly
involve heat and work movements.
The Fundamental law is the
conservation of energy principle:
energy cannot be created or
be
to

3. System, surroundings and boundary
❖ System: A quantity of matter or a
region in space chosen for study.
❖ Surroundings: The mass or region
outside the system
❖ Boundary: The real or imaginary
surface that separates the system
from its surroundings.
3
4. Type of system
(isolated system)
Isolated system – neither
mass nor energy can cross
the selected boundary
Example (approximate): coffee in
a closed, well-insulated thermos
bottle
4
5. Type of system
(Closed system)
Closed system – only energy
can cross the selected
boundary
Examples: a tightly capped cup of
coffee
5
6. Type of system
(Open system)
Open system – both mass and
energy can cross the selected
boundary
Example: an open cup of coffee

Properties of a system
Properties of a system is a measurable characteristic of a system that is
in equilibrium.
Properties may be intensive or extensive.
Intensive – Are independent of the amount of mass:
e.g: Temperature, Pressure, and Density,
Extensive – varies directly with the mass
e.g: mass, volume, energy, enthalpy
8. Specific properties – The ratio of any extensive property of a system to that
of the mass of the system is called an average specific value of that property
(also known as intensives property)
Properties of a system
9. State, Equilibrium and Process
State – a set of properties that describes the conditions of a
system. Eg. Mass m, Temperature T, volume V
Thermodynamic equilibrium -
system that maintains thermal,
mechanical, phase and chemical
equilibriums.

13. Types of Thermodynamics Processes
Cyclic process - when a system in a given initial
state goes through various processes and finally
return to its initial state, the system has undergone
a cyclic process or cycle.
Reversible process - it is defined as a process
that, once having take place it can be reversed. In
doing so, it leaves no change in the system or
boundary.
Irreversible process - a process that cannot
return both the system and surrounding to their
original conditions
13
14. Types of Thermodynamics Processes
Adiabatic process - a process that has no heat transfer
into or out of the system. It can be considered to be
perfectly insulated.
Isentropic process - a process where the entropy of the
fluid remains constant.
Polytropic process - when a gas undergoes a reversible
process in which there is heat transfer, it is represented
with a straight line, PVn = constant.
Throttling process - a process in which there is no
change in enthalpy, no work is done and the process is
adiabatic.

15. Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
“ If two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with a third
body, there are also in thermal equilibrium with each
other.”

18. What is Pure Substances?
A substance that has a fixed
chemical composition throughout
is called a pure substance.
A pure substance does not have
to be of a single chemical
element or compound, however.
A mixture of various chemical
elements or compounds also
qualifies as a pure substance as
long as the mixture is
homogeneous.
2
19. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM

MEC 451 –
A mixture of liquid and water vapor is a pure substance, but a
mixture of liquid and gaseous air is not.
Examples:
❖ Water (solid, liquid, and vapor phases)
❖ Mixture of liquid water and water vapor
❖ Carbon dioxide, CO2
❖ Nitrogen, N2
❖ Mixtures of gases, such as air, as long as there is no
change of phase.
20. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM
Phases of A Pure Substance
4
MEC 451 –
The substances exist in different phases, e.g. at
room temperature and pressure, copper is solid
and mercury is a liquid.
It can exist in different phases under variations
of condition.
There are 3 Principal phases
• solid
• Liquid
• gas
Each with different molecular structures.
21. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM
Phase-change Processes of Pure Substances
Solid: strong intermolecular bond
Liquid: intermediate intermolecular bonds
Gas: weak intermolecular bond
There are many practical situations where two phases of a pure
substances coexist in equilibrium.
E.g. water exists as a mixture of liquid and vapor in the boiler and etc.

25. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM
Saturation
9
MEC 451 –
Saturation is defined as a condition in which a mixture
of vapor and liquid can exist together at a given
temperature and pressure.
Saturation pressure is the pressure at which the liquid
and vapor phases are in equilibrium at a given
temperature
For a pure substance there is a definite relationship
between saturation pressure and saturation
temperature. The higher the pressure, the higher the
saturation temperature
26. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM
The graphical representation of this relationship between temperature
and pressure at saturated conditions is called the vapor pressure curve
10
MEC 451 –
27. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM
Saturated and Sub-cooled Liquids
If a substance exists as a liquid at the
saturation temperature and pressure,
it is called a saturated liquid
If the temperature of the liquid is
lower than
temperature
pressure, it
the
for the
is called
saturation
existing
either a
subcooled liquid or a compressed
liquid
11
MEC 451 –
28. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM
If a substance exists entirely as
vapor at saturation temperature, it
is called saturated vapor.
When the vapor is at a temperature
greater than the saturation
temperature, it is said to exist as
superheated vapor.
The pressure and temperature of
superheated vapor are independent
properties, since the temperature
may increase while the pressure
remains constant

Latent Heat
13
MEC 451 –
Latent heat: The amount of energy absorbed or
released during a phase-change process.
Latent heat of fusion: The amount of energy absorbed
during melting. It is equivalent to the amount of energy
released during freezing.
Latent heat of vaporization: The amount of energy
absorbed during vaporization and it is equivalent to the
energy released during condensation.
At 1 atm pressure, the latent heat of fusion of water
is 333.7 kJ/kg and the latent heat of vaporization is
2256.5 kJ/kg.
30. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM
Quality
❖ When a substance exists as part liquid and part vapor at
saturation conditions, its quality (x) is defined as the
ratio of the mass of the vapor to the total mass of both
vapor and liquid.
❖ The quality is zero for the saturated liquid and one for
the saturated vapor (0 ≤ x ≤ 1)
❖ For example, if the mass of vapor is 0.2 g and the mass
of the liquid is 0.8 g, then the quality is 0.2 or 20%.

Conservation of Mass
88
MEC 451 –
Conservation of mass is one of the most fundamental
principles in nature. We are all familiar with this
principle, and it is not difficult to understand it!
For closed system, the conservation of mass principle is
implicitly used since the mass of the system remain
constant during a process.
However, for control volume, mass can cross the
boundaries. So the amount of mass entering and leaving
the control volume must be considered.

120. First Law of Thermodynamics
School of Mechanical Industrial Engineering,
The First Law is usually referred to as the Law of Conservation
of Energy, i.e. energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but
rather transformed from one state to another.
The energy balance is maintained within the system being
studied/defined boundary.
The various energies associated are then being observed as
they cross the boundaries of the system.

Entropy

MEC 451 –
The 2nd law states that process occur in a certain
direction, not in any direction.
It often leads to the definition of a new property called
entropy, which is a quantitative measure of disorder for
a system.
Entropy can also be explained as a measure of the
unavailability of heat to perform work in a cycle.
This relates to the 2nd law since the 2nd law predicts
that not all heat provided to a cycle can be
transformed into an equal amount of work, some heat
rejection must take place.

1. An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. At the beginning of
the compression process, air is at 95 kPa and 27°C, and 750 kJ/kg
of heat is transferred to air during the constant-volume heat-
addition process. Taking into account the variation of specific heats
with temperature, determine (a) the pressure and temperature at
the end of the heat addition process, (b) the net work output, (c) the
thermal efficiency, and (d) the mean effective pressure for the cycle.
[(a) 3898 kPa, 1539 K, (b) 392.4 kJ/kg, (c) 52.3 percent,(d ) 495 kPa]
2. The compression ratio of an air-standard Otto cycle is 9.5. Prior to
the isentropic compression process, the air is at 100 kPa, 35°C, and
600 cm3. The temperature at the end of the isentropic expansion
process is 800 K. Using specific heat values at room temperature,
determine (a) the highest temperature and pressure in the cycle; (b)
the amount of heat transferred in, in kJ; (c) the thermal efficiency;
and (d) the mean effective pressure.
[(a) 1969 K, 6072 kPa,(b) 0.59 kJ, (c) 59.4 percent, (d) 652 kPa]
