Conservation of Energy

Gravitational Potential Energy (P)


The gravitational potential energy of a body is
it energy due to its position or elevation.

P = Fgz = mgz/k
ΔP = P2 -P1 = (mg/k) (z2 - z1)
ΔP = change in potential energy
Kinetic Energy (K)

The energy or stored capacity for performing work


possessed by a moving body, by virtue of its momentum
is called kinetic energy.
K = mv2/2k
ΔK = K2 - K1= m/2k(v22 - v21)
ΔK = change in kinetic energy
Internal Energy
Internal energy is energy stored within a body or substance
by virtue of the activity and configuration of its molecules
and of the vibration of the atoms within the molecules.
u = specific internal energy (unit mass) Δu = u2 - u1
U = mu = total internal energy (m mass) ΔU = U2 - U1
Work (W)
Work is the product of the displacement of the body and the component
of the force in the direction of the displacement. Work is energy in
transition; that is, it exists only when a force is “moving” through a distance.
dW = Fxdx = (pA)dL = pdV

The area under the curve of the process on the pV plane represents the
work done during a nonflow reversible process

Note: Work done by the system is positive (outflow of energy)


Work done on the system is negative (inflow of energy)
Flow Work (Wf)
Flow work or flow energy is work done in pushing a fluid
across a boundary, usually into or out of a system.
Wf = FL = pAL
Wf = pV
ΔWf = Wf2 - Wf1 = p2V2 - p1V1
ΔWf = change in work flow
Heat (Q)
Heat is energy in transit (on the move) from one body or system
to another solely because of a temperature difference between the
bodies or systems.

Q is positive when heat is added to the body or system.


Q is negative when heat is rejected by the body or system.
Classification of Systems

(1) A closed system is one in which mass does not cross its
boundaries.
(2) An open system is one in which mass crosses its boundaries.
Conservation of Energy

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither


created nor destroyed.
The first law of thermodynamics states that one form of energy may
be converted into another.
Steady Flow Energy Equation
Energy Entering System = Energy Leaving System
P1 + K1 + Wf1 + U1 + Q = P2 + K2 + Wf2 + U2 + W
Q = ΔP + ΔK + ΔWf + ΔU + W
Enthalpy (H,h)

Enthalpy is a composite property applicable to all fluids and is


defined by
h = u + pv and H = mh = U + pV

The steady flow energy equation becomes


P1 + K1 + H1 + Q = P2 + K2 + H2 + W
Q = ΔP + ΔK + ΔH + W
