 First Law of
Thermodynamics
 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.

 If we transfer 5 kJ of heat to a potato,
 its total energy will increase by 5 kJ.
 Heat a water in a pan by transferring 15 KJ
from the range
 There is 3 KJ losses
 This means E2-E1= 12 KJ
 Heat an insulated room with electric
heater.,
 W= 5KJ (electric)
 means E2-E1= 5KJ.

Replace the electric heater

with a paddle wheel.
 If we do a 10 kJ of boundary
work on a system,
 the system’s internal energy
will increase by 10 kJ.
 This is because (in the absence
of any heat transfer (Q = 0),
the entire boundary work will
be stored in the air as part of
its total energy.
 If we do 6 kJ of shaft work on
system and
 Transfer 15 kJ of heat in.
 Loose 3 kJ of heat out.
 Doing 4 kJ of Work out.
 Then the system internal
energy will increase by 14 kJ.

MASS & ENERGY ANALYSIS

 Conservation of Mass
 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.

36
 Mass and Volume Flow
Rates
 Mass flow through a cross-sectional area per unit time is called the
mass flow rate. Note the dot over the mass symbol indicates a time
rate of change. It is expressed as

m V .dA
 If the fluid density and velocity are constant over the flow cross-
sectional area, the mass flow rate is

 Principal of Conservation of Mass

 The conservation of mass principle for a control volume can be

expressed as

 For a steady state, steady flow process the conservation of mass

principle becomes

The section where the mixing process

takes place.

An ordinary T-elbow or a Y-elbow in

Supplementary Problems 3
1. Air flows through the supersonic nozzle . The inlet conditions are 7 kPa
and 420°C. The nozzle exit diameter is adjusted such that the exiting
velocity is 700 m/s. Calculate ( a ) the exit temperature, ( b )the mass flux,
and ( c ) the exit diameter. Assume an adiabatic quasiequilibrium flow.

2. Steam at 5 MPa and 400°C enters a nozzle steadily velocity of 80 m/s,

and it leaves at 2 MPa and 300°C. The inlet area of the nozzle is 50 cm 2,
and heat is being lost at a rate of 120 kJ/s. Determine (a) the mass flow
rate of the steam, (b) the exit velocity of the steam, and (c) the exit area
nozzle.

3. Steam enters a turbine at 4000 kPa and 500oC and leaves as shown in Fig
A below. For an inlet velocity of 200 m/s, calculate the turbine power
output. ( a )Neglect any heat transfer and kinetic energy change ( b )Show
that the kinetic energy change is negligible.

4. Consider an ordinary shower where hot water at 60°C is mixed with cold
water at 10°C. If it is desired that a steady stream of warm water at 45°C
be supplied, determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the hot to cold
water. Assume the heat losses from the mixing chamber to be negligible
and the mixing to take place at a pressure of 150 kPa.
5. Refrigerant-134a is to be cooled by water in a condenser. The refrigerant
enters the condenser with a mass flow rate of 6 kg/min at 1 MPa and 70ºC
and leaves at 35°C. The cooling water enters at 300 kPa and 15°C and
leaves at 25ºC. Neglecting any pressure drops, determine (a) the mass
flow rate of the cooling water required and (b) the heat transfer rate from
the refrigerant to water.
