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.

According to classical thermodynamics
Qnet Wnet E system

The total energy of the system, Esystem, is given as
E = Internal energy + Kinetic energy + Potential energy

E = U + KE + PE
The change in stored energy for the system is
E U KE PE
The first law of thermodynamics for closed systems then can be
written as
Qnet Wnet U KE PE

If the system does not move with a velocity and has no change in
elevation, the conservation of energy equation is reduced to

FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

MASS & ENERGY ANALYSIS
OF CONTROL VOLUME
29
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.
30
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 crosssectional area, the mass flow rate is

is called specific voulme

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

Heat Exchanger
Devices where two moving fluid

streams exchange heat without
mixing.
Heat exchangers typically involve
no work interactions (w = 0) and
negligible kinetic and potential
energy changes for each fluid
stream.

Example 3.11
Solution:
simplified energy balance:

Liquid sodium, flowing at 100
kg/s, enters a heat exchanger at
450C and exits at 350C. The
specific heat of sodium is 1.25
kJ/kg.oC. Water enters at 5000
kPa and 20oC. Determine the
minimum mass flux of the water
so that the water does not
completely vaporize. Neglect the
pressure drop through the
exchanger. Also, calculate the
rate of heat transfer.

Air flows through the supersonic nozzle . The inlet conditions are 7 kPa
and 420C. 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 400C enters a nozzle steadily velocity of 80 m/s,

and it leaves at 2 MPa and 300C. 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 500 oC 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.

Consider an ordinary shower where hot water at 60C is mixed with cold
water at 10C. If it is desired that a steady stream of warm water at 45C
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 70C
and leaves at 35C. The cooling water enters at 300 kPa and 15C and
leaves at 25C. 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.
