MECE230 Midterm2 Formula Sheet

This document provides a summary of key concepts and equations for conservation of mass and energy analysis, different forms of energy, heat transfer mechanisms, fluid mechanics, and static pressure. It defines equations for conservation of mass, conservation of energy, changes in different types of energy (kinetic, potential, thermal, latent), Fourier's law of conduction, convection, series and parallel resistances, the lumped system approximation, shear stress, surface tension, the Laplace equation, static pressure on submerged surfaces, and the location of the center of pressure.

Marc's Formula Sheet Fall 2019

Generalized CV-CS analysis:


d m CV
Conservation of mass: =ṁ in −ṁ out
dt
d ECV
Conservation of energy: =( Ėin − Ė out )+( Ẇ in −Ẇ out )+ Q̇−Ẇ where
dt
for closed system, there is no mass in/out of system, for steady-state systems, there is no change with time,
and for adiabatic systems, there is no addition/removal of heat.
Change in the energy in the system: Δ ECV =Δ KE+Δ PE+Δ U T +Δ U L +ΔU C +Δ U N where
1
Δ KE= (m(v 22−v 21)+ I G ( ω22−ω21 ))
2
Δ PE=mg(h2−h 1)
T2
Δ U T =m∫T c v (T ) dT where if cv is constant we can write Δ U T =m c v (T 2−T 1 )

Δ U L =mu L where uL is the specific latent heat of phase change


Heat transfer:
dT
Conduction (Fourier's law (1D)): Q̇cond =−k A
dx
kA 1 L
then, if k and A are constant with x: |Q̇cond|= ΔT = Δ T where Rcond =
L Rcond kA
For heat transfer through the walls of a cylinder (e.g., pipe), A is not constant with respect to r and
1 ln(r outer /r inner )
|Q̇cond|= Δ T where Rcond = with L being the length of the pipe
Rcond 2π Lk
1 1
Convection: |Q̇conv|=hA Δ T= Δ T where R conv =
Rconv hA
Series resistance: Req = R1 + R2; Parallel resistance: 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2
Lh V
Lumped-system approximation: Valid if Bi < 0.1 where Bi= s f where L s=
ks A
h
T ( t)−T f −
ρc L
t
Then, =e v s
and we solve for either T(t) or t depending on the problem.
T (0)−T f
Fluid mechanics
dv μ
Shear stress: τ=μ where μ is the dynamic viscosity and ν= ρ is the kinematic viscosity
dy
Surface tension: Energy to create an interface: δ W =γ dA where γ is surface tension [J/m2 or N/m]
γ
Laplace equation pL − pG =2 where R is the radius of curvature (for a droplet, its radius; for a
R
bubble, the negative of its radius).
Static pressure: p= p0 −ρ g z where z points in the opposite direction of gravity
Force on a submerged surface (planar, inclined): F R= p 0 A+ρ g sin θ y c A where yc is the y-coordinate of
the centroid of area as per the reference system in the figure below, A is the area of the plate, and the pressure
is gauge pressure when the other side of the surface is open to atmosphere. The location of the force is at yP:
I xx ,c
yP = yC + where Ixx,c is the moment of inertia of the surface
p0 A
yc A+
ρ g sin θ
about its centroid and the other terms are as give before.
For a rectangle with size a in x and b on y direction: yc = b/2; Ixx,c = ab3/12
