Energy Transfer

Energy Transfer
• When the system Interacts with the surrounding, the interaction can take place either in
the form of Heat Transfer or Work Transfer.
• Heat Transfer and Work Transfer is differentiated whether the interaction is due to the
Temperature Difference or due to any other factor.

SPT Fundamentals of Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer 15 / 38

Energy Transfer

Heat Transfer
• Energy Transfer, without the transfer of mass, due to Temperature Differences
• Heat transfer is denoted by Q and its SI unit is Joule (J )
• Heat received by the system = Positive(+ve)
• Heat lost by the system = Negative(-ve)

SPT Fundamentals of Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer 16 / 38

Energy Transfer

Work Transfer
• Energy Transfer due to properties other than Temperature.
• Pressure, Gravitational Potential, Electric Potential etc.
• Work transfer is said to take place if the total effect can be converted to the lifting of load.
• Chemical Energy in battery → Electric Energy → Drive Motor → Lift the load
• Work done By the system = Positive(+ve)
• Work done On the system = Negative(-ve)

SPT Fundamentals of Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer 17 / 38

Energy Transfer

Work Transfer
• In some thermodynamics processes, energy transfer takes place without observable
macroscopic displacement. Hence, classical mechanics, definition of work transfer might
not always be applicable in thermodynamics.
• Work transfer is said to take place if the total effect can be converted to the lifting of load.

Work Transfer Concepts

• When energy is supplied to or supplied by battery, there is no displacement, however,
Work Transfer can be defined as, ’Energy Transfer due to properties other than
temperature’. Hence, we can conclude that the energy interaction from a battery is work
transfer.

Energy Transfer
Work Transfer Concepts
• To visualize the work transfer without displacement, we can first make an arrangement
where transferred energy is used to lift the weight.
• Like, connecting battery to motor -> motor to pulley -> lift the weight.

Work-Heat Similarities

Similarities between Heat Transfer and Work Transfer

• Both are forms of energy with unit of Joule (J ) and are transient type
• Both are recognized at the boundaries of the system as they cross the boundary. Both
are Boundary Phenomenon
• System possess energy, but not heat or work.
• Both are associated with a process, not state. Unlike properties, heat or work have no
meaning at a state.
• Both are path functions
