THERMODYNAMICS

THERMODYNAMICS
- is a branch of physical sciences that treats various
phenomena of energy and the related properties of
matter, especially of the laws of transformation of
heat into other forms of energy

- The science that deals with the conversion of energy

from one form to another, the direction of the flow
of heat, and the availability of energy to do work
THERMODYNAMICS
Thermodynamic System and Surrounding
Thermodynamic System or simply system refers to
the quantity of matter or certain volume in space
chosen for study

Surrounding – the mass or region outside the system

Boundary – the real or imaginary surface that
separates the system from its surrounding. Can
either be fixed or movable

THERMODYNAMICS
Kinds of Thermodynamic System
1. Closed System – (also known as control mass) is a
system in which there is no transfer of matter across
the boundary

2. Open System – (also known as control volume) is a

system in which there is a flow of matter through the
boundary. Example: compressor, turbine or nozzle

Classification of Thermodynamic Properties
a. Intensive Properties – are properties which are
size independent such as temperature, pressure and
density

b. Extensive Properties – are properties which

depend on the size or extent of the system. Mass,
volume and total energy

standard atmospheric pressure is 100C and freezing
point is 0C

standard atmospheric pressure is 212F and freezing

THERMODYNAMICS
 LAW OF THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM

“if two closed system with different

temperature are brought together in thermal
contact with a third system, the heat will flow
from the system with high temperature to the
system with low temperature until each reach
thermal equilibrium”
THERMODYNAMICS
PRESSURE
ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
- is the true pressure measured above a perfect vacuum
GAGE PRESSURE
- is the pressure measured from the level of
atmospheric pressure recording instrument
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
- is the pressure caused by the weight of the
atmosphere

THERMODYNAMICS

Density
– is the mass per unit volume
= m/v m= mass (kg, g, lb)
v= volume (m3, cm3, ft3 )
density = (kg/m3 , g/cm3, lb/ft3 )
THERMODYNAMICS

WEIGHT DENSITY
– is the weight per unit volume
= W/vW= weight kN , g, lbf
v= volume (m3, cm3, ft3 )

THERMODYNAMICS

Specific Volume
- is the volume per unit mass
=V/m = 1/density m3/kg, ft3/lb
THERMODYNAMICS

Specific Gravity
also known as relative density. It is the ratio of the
density of a certain gas to the density air at the
same term

SG=density of fluid / density of water

DESTROYED BUT CAN ONLY BE
TRANSFORMED OR CHANGE FROM ONE
FORM TO ANOTHER

ENERGY IN = ENERGY OUT

one form to another.
FORMS OF ENERGY

1. POTENTIAL ENERGY (PE)

2. KINETIC ENERGY (KE)
3. INTERNAL ENERGY (U)
4. FLOW WORK / FLOW ENERGY (Wf)
FORMS OF ENERGY

POTENTIAL ENERGY (PE)

- according to Sir Isaac Newton there is a
gravitational attractive force between all bodies and
that magnitude of this force depend on the mass of
each body and the distance between them
PE = Fg
PE = mgh
( kg.m2/s2 = Nm = J )
POTENTIAL ENERGY

floor of the laboratory?
POTENTIAL ENERGY

Sample Problem

depth of 5m is located in a mountainous region, which is
350m above the valley floor. What is the PE stored in this
lake of water?
FORMS OF ENERGY

KINETIC ENERGY (KE)

- energy is required to accelerate a body from rest
at any given velocity. This energy is the kinetic
energy and it is stored in the moving body.
KE = ½ mv2
KE = ½ m(v22-v12)
V2= final velocity
V1= initial velocity
KINETIC ENERGY

Sample Problem

what is the kinetic energy of the vehicle?
FORMS OF ENERGY

INTERNAL ENERGY
- the energy that a fluid possesses because of the
microscopy movement of the individual molecules
are in motion
- as the temperature increases the internal energy
also increases
U = U2 - U1
H = U + PV
FORMS OF ENERGY

FLOW WORK / FLOW ENERGY

- is the work done in pushing a fluid across a
boundary, usually into or out of the system
Wf = FL = PAL
Wf = PV
TOTAL Wf = Wf2 – Wf1
= P2V2 – P1V1
FORMS OF ENERGY
WORK
- the product of force and distance moved by that force
W=FxS
where: F = force (N or lb)
S = distance (m or ft)
SHAFT WORK
- work in a shaft being turned
W = T x angular distance
T=Fxr
where: F = force (N or lb)
r = radius (m or in)
angular distance = (radian)
CONSERVATION OF MASS AND
ENERGY
POWER
- measure the rate of doing work or converting energy
work per unit time
P = W/t = FS/t = FV
P = (T x angular distance) / time
= T x angular velocity

angular velocity = rad / sec

CONSERVATION OF MASS AND
ENERGY
HEAT
- energy possessed by the system due to internal gradient
(temperature difference) between the body and its
surrounding
Q = mC (tf – ti)
where: Q = quantity of heat transferred (kJ)
m = mass of substance (kg)
c = specific heat capacity of substance (kj/kg.k)
tf = final temp (hottest temp)
ti = initial temp (coldest temp)
CONSERVATION OF MASS AND
ENERGY
HEAT
Q = mC (tf – ti)

HEAT flow will continue as long as there is

temperature difference
HOT BODY to COLD BODY
HIGH TEMPERATURE to LOW

 CONSERVATION OF MASS AND
ENERGY
ENTHALPHY
- composite property applicable to all fluids
H = U + PV
H = mCp( t2-t1)
where: Cp=specific heat capacity at const. pressure
Cp air = 1.005 kJ/kg.K or 0.24 BTU/lb.R
Cp water = 4.187 kJ/kg.K or 1.0 BTU/lb.R
 LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS

“Mass entering the system is equal to the sum of the

stored mass and the mass that leaves the systems”
m1 = m2 + mtotal
mtotal = m1-m2

Conservation of mass – balancing the energy mass

content of given system

constant, determine the rate flow of the diluted solution from the
tank.
