2. THERMODYNAMICS AND ENERGY
2
Thermodynamics: The science of energy.
Energy: The ability to cause changes.
The most fundamental laws of nature
Conservation of energy principle:
During an interaction, energy can change
from one form to another but the total
amount of energy remains constant.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
The first law of thermodynamics: An
expression of the conservation of energy
principle.
The first law asserts that energy is a
thermodynamic property.
Example: A rock falling off a cliff
3. 3
The second law of thermodynamics:
It asserts that energy has quality as
well as quantity, and actual processes
occur in the direction of decreasing
quality of energy.
A pure crystalline substance at absolute
zero temperature is in perfect order,
and its entropy is zero (the third law of
thermodynamics)
The zeroth law of thermodynamics:
If two bodies are in thermal equilibrium
with a third body, they are also in
thermal equilibrium with each other.
By replacing the third body with a
thermometer, the zeroth law can be
restated as two bodies are in thermal
equilibrium if both have the same
temperature reading even if they are
not in contact.
5. 5
Classical thermodynamics: A macroscopic approach
to the study of thermodynamics that does not require a
knowledge of the behavior of individual particles.
It is based more upon experimental observations
It provides a direct and easy way to the solution of
engineering problems and it is used in this text.
Statistical thermodynamics: A microscopic approach,
based on the average behavior of large groups of
individual particles.
It is used in this text only in the supporting role.
Classical and Statistical Thermodynamics
6. Application Areas of Thermodynamics
6
All activities in nature involve some interaction between
energy and matter; thus, it is hard to imagine an area
that does not relate to thermodynamics in some manner.
8. Thermodynamics system
8
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.
The boundary of a system can be fixed or movable.
Systems may be considered to be closed or open.
depending on whether a fixed mass or a fixed volume in space is
chosen for study
Closed system (Control mass): A fixed amount of mass, and no mass
can cross its boundary
no mass can enter or leave a closed system
But energy, in the form of heat or work, can cross the boundary
the volume of a closed system does not have to be fixed
9. 9
Energy is not allowed to cross the
boundary, that system is called an
isolated system
10. 10
Open system (control volume): 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.
Control surface: The boundaries of a control volume.
It can be real or imaginary.
A control volume can involve
fixed, moving, real, and imaginary
boundaries.
A large number of engineering problems involve mass flow in and
out of a system and, therefore, are modeled as control volumes.
12. PROPERTIES OF A SYSTEM
12
Property: Any characteristic of a
system.
Some familiar properties are
pressure P, temperature T, volume
V, and mass m.
Properties are considered to be
either intensive or extensive.
Intensive properties: Those that
are independent of the mass of a
system, such as temperature,
pressure, and density.
Extensive properties: Those whose
values depend on the size—or
extent—of the system.
Specific properties: Extensive
properties per unit mass.
13. DENSITY AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY
13
Density is
mass per unit
volume;
specific volume
is volume per
unit mass.
Specific gravity: The ratio
of the density of a
substance to the density of
some standard substance
at a specified temperature
(usually water at 4°C).
Density
Specific weight: The
weight of a unit volume
of a substance.
Specific volume
15. STATE AND EQUILIBRIUM
15
Thermodynamics deals with equilibrium
states.
Equilibrium: A state of balance.
In an equilibrium state there are no
unbalanced potentials (or driving forces)
within the system.
Thermal equilibrium: If the temperature is
the same throughout the entire system.
Mechanical equilibrium: If there is no
change in pressure at any point of the
system with time.
Phase equilibrium: If a system involves
two phases and when the mass of each
phase reaches an equilibrium level and
stays there.
Chemical equilibrium: If the chemical
composition of a system does not change
with time, that is, no chemical reactions
occur.
16. The State Postulate
16
The number of properties
required to fix the state of a
system is given by the state
postulate:
The state of a simple
compressible system is
completely specified by two
independent, intensive
properties.
Simple compressible
system: If a system involves
no electrical, magnetic,
gravitational, motion, and
surface tension effects.
17. PROCESSES AND CYCLES
17
Process: Any change that a system undergoes from one equilibrium state to
another.
Path: The series of states through which a system passes during a process.
To describe a process completely, one should specify the initial and final states, as
well as the path it follows, and the interactions with the surroundings.
Quasistatic or quasi-equilibrium process: When a process proceeds in such a
manner that the system remains infinitesimally close to an equilibrium state at all
times.
19. 19
Process diagrams plotted by
employing thermodynamic properties
as coordinates are very useful in
visualizing the processes.
Some common properties that are
used as coordinates are temperature
T, pressure P, and volume V (or
specific volume v).
The prefix iso- is often used to
designate a process for which a
particularproperty remains constant.
Isothermal process: A process during
which the temperature T remains
constant.
Isobaric process: A process during
which the pressure P remains
constant.
Isochoric (or isometric) process: A
process during which the specific
volume v remains constant.
Cycle: A process during which the
initial and final states are identical.
21. The Steady-Flow Process
21
The term steady implies no change
with time. The opposite of steady is
unsteady, or transient.
A large number of engineering
devices operate for long periods of
time under the same conditions, and
they are classified as steady-flow
devices.
Steady-flow process: A process
during which a fluid flows through a
control volume steadily.
Steady-flow conditions can be closely
approximated by devices that are
intended for continuous operation
such as turbines, pumps, boilers,
condensers, and heat exchangers or
power plants or refrigeration
systems.
22. 22

internal energy?
a) Isochoric process

d) Isenthalpic process
Answer: C
Question

a) Turbines and Pumps
b) Boilers and Condensers
c) Power plants or Refrigeration systems
d) Operation of Irrigation and Power Canals
e) heat exchanger and heat sinks
Answer: D
23. Temperature Scales
23
All temperature scales are based on some easily reproducible
states such as the freezing and boiling points of water: the ice
point and the steam point.
Ice point: A mixture of ice and water that is in equilibrium with air
saturated with vapor at 1 atm pressure (0°C or 32°F).
Steam point: A mixture of liquid water and water vapor (with no
air) in equilibrium at 1 atm pressure (100°C or 212°F).
Celsius scale: in SI unit system
Fahrenheit scale: in English unit system
Thermodynamic temperature scale: A temperature scale that is
independent of the properties of any substance.
Kelvin scale (SI) Rankine scale (E)
A temperature scale nearly identical to the Kelvin scale is the
ideal-gas temperature scale. The temperatures on this scale are
measured using a constant-volume gas thermometer.
24. 24
Comparison of
temperature
scales.
• The reference temperature in the original Kelvin scale was the ice point,
273.15 K, which is the temperature at which water freezes (or ice melts).
• The reference point was changed to a much more precisely reproducible
point, the triple point of water (the state at which all three phases of water
coexist in equilibrium), which is assigned the value 273.16 K.

Answer: C
Explanation: Smallest variation is observed among different gas
thermometers.
26. Chapter Two
Properties of Pure Substance
Simple System
A simple system is one in which the effects of motion, viscosity, fluid shear,
capillarity, anisotropic stress, and external force fields are absent.
Homogeneous Substance
A substance that has uniform thermodynamic properties throughout is said
to be homogeneous.
Pure Substance
A pure substance has a homogeneous and invariable chemical composition
and may exist in more than one phase.
Examples: 1. Water (solid, liquid, and vapor phases)
2. Mixture of liquid water and water vapor
3. Carbon dioxide, CO2
4. Nitrogen, N2
5. Mixtures of gases, such as air, as long as there is no change of phase.
26
27. 27
1. Which of the following is a property of a pure substance?
a) it has constant chemical composition throughout its mass
b) it is a one-component system
c) it may exist in one or more phases
d) all of the mentioned
Question
Answer: D
2. Which of the following is not a pure substance?
a) Mixture of liquid water and water vapor
b) Carbon dioxide, CO2
c) A mixture of liquid air and gaseous air,
d) all of the mentioned
Answer: C
Explanation: the composition of liquid air is different from the
composition of gaseous air, and thus the mixture is no longer chemically
homogeneous.
This is due to different components in air condensing at different
temperatures at a specified pressure.
28. Figure below shows the P-T diagram, often called the phase diagram, for
pure substances that contract and expand upon freezing.
The states on the triple line of a substance have the same pressure and
temperature but different specific volumes
The triple point of water is 0.01oC, 0.6117 kPa (See Table 3-3).
The critical point of water is 373.95oC, 22.064 MPa (See Table A-1).
The critical point, is the
point at which the
saturated liquid and
saturated vapor states
are identical.
28
The Triple point, is the
point at which the three
phases coexist in
equilibrium.
29. 29
1. Which of the following is a line on the P-V diagram, where all the
three phases, solid, liquid and gas exist.
a) Critical point c) Saturation point
b) Triple point d) sub-cooled point
2. At a pressure below the triple point line,
a) the substance cannot exist in the liquid phase
b) the substance when heated transforms from solid to vapour
c) both of the mentioned
d) none of the mentioned
Question
Answer: B
Answer: C
30. Let's consider the results of heating liquid water from 20C, 1 atm while
keeping the pressure constant. First place liquid water in a piston-cylinder
device where a fixed weight is placed on the piston to keep the pressure of
the water constant at all times. As liquid water is heated while the pressure
is held constant, the following events occur.
Process 1-2:
The temperature and specific volume
will increase from the compressed
liquid, or sub-cooled liquid, state 1, to
the saturated liquid state 2. In the
compressed liquid region, the properties
of the liquid are approximately equal to
the properties of the saturated liquid
state at the temperature.
Compressed liquid, or sub-cooled liquid
is not about to vaporize
Constant pressure heating process of water
Compressed liquid,
or sub-cooled liquid
30
31. Process 2-3:
At state 2 the liquid has reached the temperature at which it begins to boil,
called the saturation temperature, and is said to exist as a saturated liquid.
v
Properties at the saturated liquid state are noted by the subscript f and v2 = vf.
During the phase change both the temperature and pressure remain constant
(according to the International Temperature Scale of 1990, ITS-90, water
boils at 99.975C 100C when the pressure is 1 atm or 101.325 kPa).
v
At state 3 the liquid and vapor phase are in equilibrium and any point on the
line between states 2 and 3 has the same temperature and pressure.
A liquid that is about to vaporize is called a saturated liquid.
31
32. Process 3-4:
At state 4 a saturated vapor exists and vaporization is complete.
The subscript g will always denote a saturated vapor state.
Note v4 = vg.
A vapor that is about to condense is called a saturated vapor.
32
33. 33
1. A saturation state is a state from which a change of phase may occur
a) without a change of pressure or temperature
b) with a change of pressure or temperature
c) both of the mentioned
d) none of the mentioned
2. Which of the following statement is true?
a) saturation temperature is a function of pressure
b) saturation pressure is a function of temperature
c) both of the mentioned
d) none of the mentioned
Question
Answer: A
Answer: C
34. Process 4-5:
If the constant pressure heating is continued, the temperature will begin to
increase above the saturation temperature, 100 C in this example, and the
volume also increases. State 5 is called a superheated state because T5 is
greater than the saturation temperature for the pressure.
v
Thermodynamic properties for water in the superheated region are found in
the superheated steam tables, Table A-6.
A vapor that is not about to condense (i.e., not a saturated vapor) is
called a superheated vapor.
34
35. 99.975
The amount of energy absorbed or released during a phase-change
process is called the latent heat.
The amount of energy absorbed during melting is called the latent heat
of fusion and is equivalent to the amount of energy released during
freezing.
Similarly, the amount of energy absorbed during vaporization is called
the latent heat of vaporization and is equivalent to the energy released
during condensation.
The magnitudes of the latent heats depend on the temperature or
pressure at which the phase change occurs.
This constant pressure heating process is illustrated in the following figure.
35
36. If all of the saturated liquid states are connected, the saturated liquid line is
established. If all of the saturated vapor states are connected, the saturated
vapor line is established.
These two lines intersect at the critical point and form what is often called
the “steam dome.”
Consider repeating this process for other constant pressure lines.

exist?
a) saturated solid state
b) saturated liquid state
c) saturated vapour state
d) all of the mentioned

b) One d) infinity
39. Equations of State
The relationship among the state variables, temperature, pressure, and
specific volume is called the equation of state. We now consider the
equation of state for the vapor or gaseous phase of simple compressible
substances.
Ideal Gas
Based on our experience in chemistry and physics we recall that the
combination of Boyle’s and Charles’ laws for gases at low pressure result
in the equation of state for the ideal gas as
where R is the constant of proportionality and is called the gas constant
and takes on a different value for each gas. If a gas obeys this relation, it is
called an ideal gas. We often write this equation as
Pv RT
39
40. The gas constant for ideal gases is related to the universal gas constant valid
for all substances through the molar mass (or molecular weight). Let Ru be
the universal gas constant. Then,
R

M

The molar mass is the ratio of mass to moles and has the same value
regardless of the system of units.
M

. . .
Since 1 kmol = 1000 gmol or 1000 gram-mole and 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 kmol of
air has a mass of 28.97 kg or 28,970 grams.
m N M
The ideal gas equation of state may be written several ways.
Pv RT
V
P RT

PV mRT
40
41. Here
P = absolute pressure in MPa, or kPa
= molar specific volume in m3/kmol
T = absolute temperature in K
Ru = 8.314 kJ/(kmolK)
v
Universal Gas Constant, Ru
8.314 kJ/(kmolK)
8.314 kPam3/(kmolK)
1.986 Btu/(lbmolR)
1545 ftlbf/(lbmolR)
10.73 psiaft3/(lbmolR)
The ideal gas equation of state can
be derived from basic principles if
one assumes
1. Intermolecular forces are small.
2. Volume occupied by the
particles is small.
41
43. Chapter Three: Work and Heat
If we take the entire room—including the air and the refrigerator (or fan)—as the
system, which is an adiabatic closed system since the room is well-sealed and well-
insulated, what will happen to the average temperature of air in the room?
the only energy interaction involved is the electrical energy crossing the system
boundary and entering the room.
As a result of the conversion of electric energy consumed by the device to heat,
the room temperature will rise.
If this heating effect is greater than the cooling effect.
43
A refrigerator
operating with its
door open in a well-
sealed and well-
insulated room
A fan running in a
well-sealed and
well-insulated room
will raise the
temperature of air in
the room.
44. FORMS OF ENERGY
Energy can exist in numerous forms such as thermal, mechanical, kinetic, potential,
electric, magnetic, chemical, and nuclear, and their sum constitutes the total energy, E
of a system.
Thermodynamics deals only with the change of the total energy.
Macroscopic forms of energy: Those a system possesses as a whole with respect to
some outside reference frame, they are related to motion and the influence of some
external effects such as gravity, magnetism, electricity, and surface tension, such as
kinetic and potential energies.
Microscopic forms of energy: Those related to the molecular structure of a system
and the degree of the molecular activity. They are independent of outside reference
frames.
Internal energy, U: The sum of all the microscopic forms of energy.
44
The macroscopic energy of an object
changes with velocity and elevation.
• Kinetic energy, KE: The energy that a
system possesses as a result of its
motion relative to some reference frame.
• Potential energy, PE: The energy that
a system possesses as a result of its
elevation in a gravitational field.

46. Some Physical Insight to Internal Energy
The internal energy of a
system is the sum of all forms
of the microscopic energies.
The various forms of
microscopic
energies that make
up sensible energy.
Sensible energy: The portion
of the internal energy of a
system associated with the
kinetic energies of the
molecules.
Latent energy: The internal
energy associated with the
phase of a system.
Chemical energy: The internal
energy associated with the
atomic bonds in a molecule.
Nuclear energy: The
tremendous amount of energy
associated with the strong
bonds within the nucleus of the
atom itself.
Internal = Sensible + Latent + Chemical + Nuclear
Thermal = Sensible + Latent
47. Question

1) The total energy of a stationary(store) system is equivalent to:
(A) The potential energy of the system
(B) The kinetic energy of the system
(C) The internal energy of the system
(D) The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the system.

2) Portable electric heaters are commonly used to heat small rooms.
Explain the energy transformation involved during this heating
process.
a) electrical energy is converted to sensible internal energy.
b) electrical energy is converted to latent internal energy.
c) electrical energy is converted to chemical internal energy.
d) heat energy is converted to electrical energy.
Answer: A
3) Which of the following is NOT a type of internal energy associated
with the
microscopic forms of energy in a system?
(A) mass flow energy
(B) latent energy
(C) chemical energy
(D) sensible energy
48. The macroscopic kinetic energy is an
organized form of energy and is much
more useful than the disorganized
microscopic kinetic energies of the
molecules.
• The total energy of a system, can
be contained or stored in a system,
and thus can be viewed as the
static forms of energy.
• The forms of energy not stored in a
system can be viewed as the
dynamic forms of energy or as
energy interactions.
• The dynamic forms of energy are
recognized at the system boundary
as they cross it, and they represent
the energy gained or lost by a
system during a process.
• The only two forms of energy
interactions associated with a
closed system are heat transfer
and work.
The difference between heat transfer and work: An energy interaction is
heat transfer if its driving force is a temperature difference. Otherwise it is
work.
48
49. More on Nuclear Energy
The fission of uranium and the fusion of
hydrogen during nuclear reactions, and
the release of nuclear energy.
• The best known fission reaction
involves the split of the uranium atom
(the U-235 isotope) into other elements
and is commonly used to generate
electricity in nuclear power plants (440
of them in 2004, generating 363,000
MW worldwide), to power nuclear
submarines and aircraft carriers, and
even to power spacecraft as well as
building nuclear bombs.
• Nuclear energy by fusion is released
when two small nuclei combine into a
larger one.
• The uncontrolled fusion reaction was
achieved in the early 1950s, but all the
efforts since then to achieve controlled
fusion by massive lasers, powerful
magnetic fields, and electric currents to
generate power have failed.

50. Mechanical Energy
50
Mechanical energy: The form of energy that can be converted to
mechanical work completely and directly by an ideal mechanical device
such as an ideal turbine.
Kinetic and potential energies: The familiar forms of mechanical energy.

flowing fluid per unit mass
Rate of mechanical

Mechanical energy change of a fluid during incompressible flow per unit mass
Rate of mechanical energy change of a fluid during incompressible flow
The mechanical work supplied to
the fluid (if emech > 0) or extracted
from the fluid (if emech<0).
51. ENERGY TRANSFER BY HEAT
51
Energy can cross the
boundaries of a closed system
in the form of heat and work.
Temperature difference is the driving
force for heat transfer. The larger the
temperature difference, the higher is the
rate of heat transfer.
Heat: The form of energy that is
transferred between two
systems (or a system and its
surroundings) by virtue of a
temperature difference.
52. 52
Energy is
recognized
as heat
transfer only
as it crosses
the system
boundary.
During an adiabatic process, a system
exchanges no heat with its surroundings.

Work: The energy transfer associated with a force acting through a
distance.
A rising piston, a rotating shaft, and
an electric wire crossing the system boundaries are all associated
with work interactions.

Specifying the directions
of heat and work.
Formal sign convention:
54. Heat vs. Work
Both are recognized at the boundaries of
a system as they cross the boundaries.
That is, both heat and work are boundary
phenomena.
Systems possess energy, but not heat or
work.
Both are associated with a process, not a
state.
Unlike properties, heat or work has no
meaning at a state.
Both are path functions (i.e., their
magnitudes depend on the path followed
during a process as well as the end
states).
54
Properties are point functions; but
heat and work are path functions
(their magnitudes depend on the
path followed).

The electrons crossing the system boundary do electrical work on the system.
In an electric field, electrons in a wire move under the effect of (emf) electromotive
forces, doing work
57. MECHANICAL FORMS OF WORK
There are two requirements for a work interaction between a
system and its surroundings to exist:
there must be a force acting on the boundary.
the boundary must move.
57
The work done is proportional to the force
applied (F) and the distance traveled (s).
Work = Force Distance
When force is not constant

Energy transmission through rotating shafts
is commonly encountered in practice.
Shaft work is proportional to the
torque applied and the number
of revolutions of the shaft.
A force F acting through

61. Work Done to Raise or to Accelerate a Body
61
1. The work transfer needed to raise a body is equal
to the change in the potential energy of the body.
2. The work transfer needed to accelerate a body is
equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the
body.
The energy
transferred to
a body while
being raised
is equal to
the change in
its potential
energy.
Nonmechanical Forms of Work
Electrical work: The generalized force is the
voltage (the electrical potential) and the
generalized displacement is the electrical charge.
Magnetic work: The generalized force is the
magnetic field strength and the generalized
displacement is the total magnetic dipole moment.
Electrical polarization work: The generalized
force is the electric field strength and the
generalized displacement is the polarization of the
medium.

63. The First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics (the conservation of energy principle)
provides a sound basis for studying the relationships among the various forms
of energy and energy interactions.
The first law states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed
during a process; it can only change forms.
The First Law: For all adiabatic processes between two specified states of a
closed system, the net work done is the same regardless of the nature of the
closed system and the details of the process.
63
Energy cannot
be created or
destroyed; it
can only
change forms.
The increase in the energy of
a potato in an oven is equal to
the amount of heat transferred
to it.
64. Energy Balance
The net change (increase or decrease) in the total energy of the system
during a process is equal to the difference between the total energy
entering and the total energy leaving the system during that process.

The first law of thermodynamics is an expression of the conservation of energy
principle. Energy can cross the boundaries of a closed system in the form of heat or
work. Energy transfer across a system boundary due solely to the temperature
difference between a system and its surroundings is called heat.
Work energy can be thought of as the energy expended to lift a weight.

Recall that U is the sum of the energy contained within the molecules of the system
other than the kinetic and potential energies of the system as a whole and is called

Closed System First Law for a Cycle
Since a thermodynamic cycle is composed of processes that cause the working fluid
to undergo a series of state changes through a series of processes such that the final

Oceans, lakes, and rivers as well as the atmospheric air can be modeled as
reservoirs because of their large thermal energy storage capabilities
A hypothetical body that can supply or absorb finite amounts of heat without
undergoing any change in temperature is called a reservoir
The atmosphere, for example, does not warm up as a result of heat losses
from residential buildings in winter.
The air in a room, for example, can be treated as a reservoir, since the
amount of heat transfer from the TV set to the room air is not large enough
to have effect on the room air temperature.

A reservoir that supplies energy in the form of heat is called a source
A reservoir that absorbs energy in the form of heat is called a sink

the violation of the Clausius statement.
Thus, the combination of
these two devices can be

Internally and Externally Reversible
Processes
Reversible process involves no irreversibilities associated with either of
them.
A process is called internally reversible if
no irreversibilities occur within the
boundaries of the system during the
process. During an internally reversible
process, a system proceeds through a
series of equilibrium states and when the
process is reversed, the system passes
through exactly the same equilibrium states
while returning to its initial state
Example: The quasi-equilibrium process
A process is called externally reversible if no irreversibilities occur outside the
system boundaries during the process.
A process is called totally reversible, or
simply reversible, if it involves no
irreversibilities within the system or its
surroundings
no heat transfer, no non quasi-equilibrium
changes, and no friction or other dissipative

The Quality of Energy
These efficiency values
show that energy has
quality as well as
quantity.
The higher the temperature,
the higher its quality.
more of the high-temperature
thermal energy can be
converted to work.
124. 124
The efficiency of a Carnot heat engine
increases as TH is increased, or as TL is
decreased.
As TL approaches zero, the Carnot efficiency
approaches unity
The thermal efficiency of actual heat engines
can be maximized by
supplying heat to the engine at the highest possible
temperature (limited by material strength)
and rejecting heat from the engine at the
lowest possible temperature (limited by the
temperature of the cooling medium such as rivers,
lakes, or the atmosphere).
