1-4 The First Law of Thermodynamics: # 5 # P 5 51.4 W P (0.1 M) 5

The document discusses heat flux and the first law of thermodynamics. It defines heat flux as the rate of heat transfer per unit area. It then calculates the average heat flux for a ball losing heat. It notes that heat flux can vary by location on a surface. The first law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed in form. The net change in a system's total energy during a process equals the total energy entering minus the total energy leaving the system. Energy can be transferred by heat, work, or mass flow. For a steady system, the rate of energy entering equals the rate of energy leaving.

CHAPTER 1

(c) Heat flux is defined as the heat transfer per unit time per unit area, or
the rate of heat transfer per unit area. Therefore, the average heat flux in this
case is

Discussion Note that heat flux may vary with location on a surface. The value
calculated above is the average heat flux over the entire surface of the ball.

THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the conservation of en-
ergy principle, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed dur-
ing a process; it can only change forms. Therefore, every bit of energy must
be accounted for during a process. The conservation of energy principle (or
the energy balance) for any system undergoing any process may be expressed
as follows: 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. That is

Total energy Total energy Change in the


£ entering the ≥ 2 £ leaving the ≥ 5 £ total energy of≥ (1–9)
system system the system

Noting that energy can be transferred to or from a system by heat, work, and
mass flow, and that the total energy of a simple compressible system consists
of internal, kinetic, and potential energies, the energy balance for any system
undergoing any process can be expressed as
Ein 2 Eout 5 DEsystem       (J) (1–10)
  
Net energy transfer Change in internal, kinetic,
by heat, work, and mass potential, etc., energies

or, in the rate form, as

Energy is a property, and the value of a property does not change unless Heat Heat
the state of the system changes. Therefore, the energy change of a system is Steady
zero (DEsystem 5 0) if the state of the system does not change during the pro- Work system Work
