• The law of conservation of energy is an extension of the first law of thermodynamics, i.e.,
∆U= Q + W
• We consider a stationary volume elements, fixed in space, through which a fluid is flowing.
Both K.E and Internal energy may be entering and leaving the system by convection
transport. Heat may enter and leave the system by heat conduction as well. Thus, the
conservation energy can be expressed as:
(i) By kinetic energy we mean that energy associated with the observable motion
.
of the fluid, which is ½ρv2 = ½ρ(v v), per unit volume. Here v is the fluid
velocity vector.
i. By internal energy we mean the kinetic energies of the constituent molecules calculated in a
frame moving with the velocity v, plus the energies associated with the vibrational and rotational
motions of the molecules and also the energies of interaction among all the molecules. It is
assumed that the internal energy U for a flowing fluid is the same function of temperature and
density as that for a fluid at equilibrium. Keep in mind that a similar assumption is made for the
thermodynamic pressure p (ρ, T) for a flowing fluid.
ii. The potential energy does not appear in Eq. 11.1-1, since we prefer instead to consider the work
done on the system by gravity. At the end of this section, however, we show how to express this
work in terms of the potential energy.
iii. In Eq. 10.1-1 various source terms were included in the shell energy balance. In 10.4 the viscous
heat source Sv appeared automatically, because the mechanical energy terms in e were properly
accounted for; the same situation prevails here, and the viscous heating term -(τ:∇v) will appear
automatically in Eq. 11.2-1. The chemical, electrical, and nuclear source terms (Sc, Se, and Sn) do
not appear automatically, since chemical reactions, electrical effects, and nuclear disintegrations
have not been included in the energy balance
(i) In Chapter 19, where the energy equation for mixtures with chemical reactions
is considered, the chemical heat source Sc appears naturally, as does a
"diffusive source term," ∑ ( jα ⋅ gα ) .

We now translate Eq. 11.1-1 into mathematical terms. The rate of increase of kinetic
and internal energy within the volume element ∆x ∆y ∆z is
∆x ∆y ∆z
∂ 1
∂t

2 ρv + ρU

Here Û is the internal energy per unit mass (sometimes called the "specific internal
energy"). The product ρ Û is the internal energy per unit volume, and
1

ρv 2 = 12 ρ (vx2 + v y2 + vz2 ) is the kinetic energy per unit volume. Next we have to know how
much energy enters and leaves across the faces of the volume element Ax Ay Az.
(
∆y∆z ex x − ex x + ∆x
) + ∆x∆z (e y y − ey
y + ∆y
)+ ∆y∆x(e z z − ez z + ∆z
)
Keep in mind that the e vector includes the convective transport of kinetic and internal energy, the heat
conduction, and the work associated with molecular processes. The rate at which work is done on the
fluid by the external force is the dot product of the fluid velocity v and the force acting on the fluid
(ρ∆x ∆y ∆z)g, or
We now insert these various contributions into Eq. 11.1-1 and then divide by ∆x ∆y
∂
∂t

ρv 2 + ρUˆ = − (∇ ⋅ e ) + ρ (v ⋅ g )
• Next we insert the expression for the e vector from Eq. 9.8-5 to get the equation of energy
• This equation does not include nuclear, radiative, electromagnetic, or chemical forms of
energy. For viscoelastic fluids, the next-to-last term has to be reinterpreted by replacing
"viscous" by "viscoelastic
Equation of change for kinetic energy as derived in Section 3.3
SPECIAL FORMS OF THE ENERGY EQUATION
• The most useful form of the energy equation is one in which the temperature appears. The
object of this section is to arrive at such an equation, which can be used for prediction of
temperature profiles. First we subtract the mechanical energy equation in Eq. 3.3-1 from the
energy equation in 11.1-7. This leads to the following equation of change for internal energy:
• It is now of interest to compare the mechanical energy equation of Eq. 3.3-1 and the internal
energy equation of Eq. 11.2-1. Note that the terms ρ(∇.v) and (τ:∇v) appear in both
equations - but with opposite signs. Therefore, these terms describe the interconversion of
mechanical and thermal energy. The term ρ(∇.v) can be either positive or negative,
depending on whether the fluid is expanding or contracting; therefore it represents a
reversible mode of interchange. On the other hand, for Newtonian fluids, the quantity -
(τ:∇v) is always positive (see Eq. 3.3-3) and therefore represents an irreversible degradation
of mechanical into internal energy. For viscoelastic fluids, discussed in Chapter 8, the quantity
(τ:∇v) does not have to be positive, since some energy may be stored as elastic energy. We
pointed out in s3.5 that the equations of change can be written somewhat more compactly
by using the substantial derivative (see Table 3.5-1). Equation 11.2-1 can be put in the
substantial derivative form by using Eq. 3.5-4. This gives, with no further assumptions
DUˆ
ρ = −(∇ ⋅ q ) − p(∇ ⋅ v ) − (τ : ∇v ) (11.2-2)
Dt
• Next it is convenient to switch from internal energy to enthalpy, as we did at the very end of 9.8.
� = 𝐻𝐻
That is, in Eq. 11.2-2 we set 𝑈𝑈 � − 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 = 𝐻𝐻
�− 𝑝𝑝
⁄𝜌𝜌 , making the standard assumption that
thermodynamic formulas derived from equilibrium thermodynamics may be applied locally for
nonequilibrium systems. When we substitute this formula into Eq. 11.2-2 and use the equation
of continuity (Eq. A of Table 3.5-1), we get
DHˆ
= −(∇ ⋅ q ) − (τ : ∇v ) +
Dp

Dt Dt
• Next we may use Eq. 9.8-7, which presumes that the enthalpy is a function of p and T (this
restricts the subsequent development to Newtonian fluids). Then we may get an expression for
the change in the enthalpy in an element of fluid moving with the fluid velocity, which is

Dt ∂T p Dt
(i) When Fourier's law of Eq. 9.1-4 is used, the term -(∇.q) becomes +(∇.k∇T),
We do not perform the substitutions here, because the equation of change for temperature
is almost never used in its complete generality.
We now discuss several special restricted versions of the equation of change for
temperature.
In all of these we use Fourier's law with constant k, and we omit the viscous dissipation term,
since it is important only in flows with enormous velocity gradients:

A system with two concentric porous spherical shells of radii KR and R is shown in Fig. 11.4-1. The
inner surface of the outer shell is at temperature 𝑇𝑇1 ,and the outer surface of the inner shell is at a
lower temperature 𝑇𝑇𝑘𝑘 . Dry air at 𝑇𝑇𝑘𝑘 is blown outward radially from the inner shell into the
intervening space and then through the outer shell. Develop an expression for the required rate of
heat removal from the inner sphere as a function of the mass rate of flow of the gas. Assume steady
laminar flow and low gas velocity. In this example the equations of continuity and energy are solved
to get the temperature distribution. The equation of motion gives information about the pressure
distribution in the system.
We postulate that for this system v = 𝜹𝜹𝒓𝒓 𝝊𝝊𝒓𝒓 (r), T = T(r), and 𝒫𝒫= 𝒫𝒫 (r). The equation of continuity in
spherical coordinates then becomes

The r-component of the equation of motion in spherical coordinates is, from Eq. B.6-7,

Hence the modified pressure 𝒫𝒫 increases with r, but only very slightly for the low gas velocity assumed here.
The energy equation in terms of the temperature, in spherical coordinates, is, according to Eq. B.9-3,
Here we have used Eq. 11.2-8, for which we assume that the thermal conductivity is constant, the pressure is
constant, and there is no viscous dissipation-all reasonable assumptions for the problem at hand. When Eq.
11.4-22 for the velocity distribution is used for 𝜐𝜐𝑟𝑟 , in Eq. 11.4-25, we obtain the following differential equation
for the temperature distribution T(r) in the gas between the two shells:

in which 𝑅𝑅0 = 𝜔𝜔𝑟𝑟 𝐶𝐶́𝑝𝑝/4𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋 is a constant with units of length. The rate of heat flow toward the inner sphere is
and this is the required rate of heat removal by the refrigerant. Insertion of Fourier's law for the r-component of
the heat flux gives

Next we evaluate the temperature gradient at the surface with the aid of Eq. 11.4-27 to obtain the expression for
the heat removal rate
• The fractional reduction in heat removal as a result of the transpiration of the gas is then
