2. First Law of Thermodynamics
As Energy can neither be created nor
destroyed, the net work in the cycle
must be equal to the net heat transfer
in the various processes of a cycle.
When a closed system executes a
complete cycle the sum of heat
interactions is equal to the sum of work
interactions.

Alternate statement:
When a closed system undergoes a cycle the cyclic
integral of heat is equal to the cyclic integral of work.

(1) Corollary 1 : energy is a property.
There exists a property called energy, such that a change in its value is equal to the
difference between the heat supplied and the work done during any change of state.
5. Hence depends on end states and is independent of the path of
process. It is a point function and is exact differential and a
thermodynamic property of mass.
dE=dU+d(P.E.)+d(K.E.)
For non-flow system K.E. and P.E. are zero and hence energy is the
internal energy (U).
Hence

6. (2) Corollary 2: Conservation of Energy
In an isolated system, the energy of the system remains constant.
For an isolated system, Q=0, W=0; U2-U1 = 0
U2=U1
(3) Corollary 2: Perpitual Motion Machine-1 impossible.
The continuous output of work from a system working in a cycle with
zero input of energy(heat) is impossible.

7. For a process we can have Q=0 or W=0
We can extract work without supplying
heat(during a process) but sacrificing the energy
of the system.
We can add heat to the system without doing
work(in process) which will go to increasing the
energy of the system.
Energy of a system is an extensive property
First Law(contd…)
8. Engineering Implications
When we need to derive some work, we must expend
thermal/internal energy.
Whenever we expend heat energy, we expect to derive
work interaction (or else the heat supplied is wasted or goes
to to change the energy of the system).
If you spend money, either you must have earned it or you
must take it out of your bank balance!!
!!There is nothing called a free lunch!!

10. (2) Constant Pressure Process(Isobaric/Isopiestic)
gas is heated under constant pressure in a cylinder containing a sliding
piston.
If boundary is rigid as in V=Const. , pressure will raise when heat is
added. Hence for p=Const. the boundary must move against an
external resistance as heat is supplied.

11. In an isothermal expansion, heat must be
added continuously in order to keep the
temperature constant. Similarly in an
isothermal compression, heat must be
added.

14. Cn is negative when γ>n>1.
Heat is rejected by the gas even though its temperature rises or that heat is supplied
to the gas even though its temperature decreases.(cooling during compression and
heating during expansion).
For γ>n>1 system should work more than the heat added or more work should be
done on the system than the heat removed from the system.
For other values of n, c is positive.
Isentropic curve is steeper than an isothermal curve.

16. Steady Flow Energy Equation
Assumptions :
(1)
(2) state of fluid does not vary with time at any given location.
(3) rate of work and heat transfer , crosses the boundary, is constant.
(4) no chemical energy is involved.
Energy entering the control volume = Energy leaving the control

5. Throttling process(Isenthalpic Process)
It is an irreversible process ,porous plug, valve.
In this process due to fall in pressure, the gas should come out with
a large velocity, but due to friction between the fluid and
restrictions, the K.E. is converted into heat which warm up the gas
to its initial temperature and the velocity change is not so much.

3. when a system is taken from state 1 to state 2, as shown in Fig. along the path 1-3-2, 100
kJ of heat flows into the system and the system
does 40 kJ of work. (1) how much will the heat that
flows into the system along path 1-4-2 be, if the work
done is 20 kJ? (2) When the system is returned from
2 to 1 along the straight path, calculate the work done
and heat exchanged. (3) if U1=0 and U4=50 kJ, find the
heat absorbed in the processes 1-4 and 4-2.
