First Low-II
Good morning. Welcome to this session, last class we were discussing the first law of
thermodynamics. We have started the first law of thermodynamics applied to a finite process and
to a cyclic process, what was it that we recognized the algebraic sum of heat interactions
between a system and the surrounding in a cyclic process becomes equal to the algebraic sum of
the work interactions between a system and its surrounding in a cyclic process, which means that
the cyclic integral of heat interactions minus the work interactions between the system and the
surrounding is 0 and the immediate consequence of heat is that the difference between heat and
work interaction executed by a system in a finite process becomes equal to the change in a
property which we definite as internal energy of the system.
(Refer Slide Time: 02:04)

Now, let us write this, therefore if we just recognize which we discussed earlier that in a process
2
connecting these two steps points 1-2 the heat added you want to is its change in internal energy
E
2
minus E
1
plus the work coming out of this system during the process from state 1 to state 2
and our usual sign convention is the heat added to a system is positive while the work done by
the system is positive.
If you write it for an infinite small process with differential amount of the quantity, that means, if
deltaQ is the infinite small heat added for an infinite small process executed by a infinite small
system, then this can be written in terms of this dE here, E is a point function its a change in
internal energy which can be written in terms of its perfect differential thats why I used d and
delta W.
So, this is the first law that if we take the cyclic integral, then we get automatically cyclic
integral of del Q is cyclic integral on both this sides dE plus this cyclic integral of delta W.
You know the E is a point function, so that cyclic integral is 0 the cyclic integral of delta Q, this
is the first law. In fact we came this way that we first recognize this and then we define that this
minus, this is a change in a property which is the internal energy E
2
minus E
1
. So, this is the
precise form of the first law. Now, if we write this in terms of per unit mass this will be internal
energy per unit mass, but before that I should tell this way.
Now, you concentrate on these two equations, if a closed system now this first law first of all you
must know this first law that heat added is change in internal energy plus work done is applied
for both closed system and open system, but the version of this law in a open system is little
different which I will tell afterwards.
So, when we deal basically with closed system, we write in this form that delta Q is equal to dE
plus delta W. So henceforth, whatever we will be referring to a closed system. So, let us now
think of a closed system, and then we can write this internal energy we have already recognized
for a closed system is composed of intermolecular energy plus kinetic energy plus potential
energy.
All types of energy stored within this system apart from the intermolecular energy which is
because of the molecular kinetic and potential energy can be described in terms of microscopic
potential energy.
3
For example the gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy because of the movement or
motions of the particles of the system macroscopic particles of the system not the molecular
motion, so therefore d of this comprises d of u plus d of this quantities kinetic energy plus
potential energy.
Now, for a closed system, when it is at an equilibrium state it is at rest, there is no motion within
in it and the properties are uniform throughout, so therefore the kinetic energy within the matter
is 0.
So, therefore usually for a closed system at equilibrium state because we are interested between
the equilibrium states from one equilibrium states, one to other equilibrium states, so at any
equilibrium state these kinetic energy has to be 0, but potential energy may not be 0 because any
system for example in the gravitational field of the earth it has some potential energy, but the
change of potential energy in all practical cases are very negligible or very small compare to the
change in its intermolecular energy.
So that we can neglect this change of potential energy, because of the fact there is no kinetic
energy its change is also 0, so that finally for a closed system at equilibrium state we can write
the change of its internal energy is the change of its intermolecular energy u only.
This is the usual sign convention, sign is used in nomenclature, u has the intermolecular energy
and E has the internal energy. so therefore we will denote the internal energy for a closed system
henceforth by the term u is actually the intermolecular energy.
so when we will refer the internal energy of a stationary closed system at equilibrium states we
will refer to u only. so with this in mind, we can write then for a closed system Q
1-2
is equal to u
2

minus u
1
plus W
1-2
in differential form delta Q is du plus delta W. Now, we see that these are the
first law when no restrictions about the system were given.
It is valid for a closed system, whatever maybe its internal energy, but when you write in this
fashion we consider the internal energy is composed of only intermolecular energy, that means,
closed system will be at rest there will be no kinetic energy and more over that changes in the
potential energy during a process has to be a small as compare to the changes in its
intermolecular energy so that we can write this form of the first law for a closed system.
4
Now, if we go little ahead now you see put little more constant now if we consider a closed
system which perform only reversible displacement work which we discussed earlier, that may
quasistatic displacement work which is nothing but pdv work we have recognize this earlier
So, any form of reversible or quasistatic displacement work that is the work interaction between
the closed system and the surrounding because of the displacement of its system boundary that is
the reversible or quasistatic displacement work is given by the expression pdv infinite small
amount of work is given by pdv, that means delta W equals thats why this work will be refer
henceforth as pdv work, so if we consider the closed system only performs this type of work that
is pdv work, then we can write for that occasion Q
1-2
is u
2
minus u
1
plus integration of pdv
between the state 1-2 or deltaQ is equal to du plus pdv.
Now, we see that there are three different forms, now, this is valid there is no restriction input
even the restriction of closed and open systems are not imposed here, this is the general
statement of the first law usually we use this equation for closed system.
When the restriction of closed system at equilibrium state comes with the further assumption that
change in potential energies are negligible compare to the change in intermolecular energy then
this becomes these two, one is for a finite process another is for an infinite small process in
differential form for closed system at stationary equilibrium states.
Then if we again further put another constant that closed system only interacts with the
surrounding in the form of pdv work then the first law for a finite process becomes like that, now
if we write this expression, sometimes it is written for a closed system conventionally per unit
mass.
5
(Refer Slide Time: 10:25)

That means if you write for a finite process let m is the mass of the closed system which remains
fixed per unit mass then this becomes the change in the specific internal energy and this is
expressed as small u script is same but the size is small u and this will be definitely p specific
volume this is denoted by small v.
So, therefore here also del Q by del m, if del m is the mass of an infinite small system which
receives infinite small amount of heat del Q here also it is the differential of small u that means
small u refers to specific internal energy per unit mass plus p into dv specific volume, that means
this is a point function in terms of specific values; these becomes an intensive property, this is
also specific internal energy and this is the heat addition per unit mass after this I will go to the
definition of a new property enthalpy.
6
(Refer Slide Time: 11:30)

Now if you are asked at any time, what is the definition of enthalpy the very first line of this
definition comes from the mathematical statement that enthalpy is a property which is defined as
H is the denoted which is defined as summation of internal energy plus pressure and volume for
this is the enthalpy, very first line of its definition there is no physical concept at the beginning.
Let us start with this definition that enthalpy is a property of a system with equals to u, the
internal energy for a closed system, internal energy for a open system also it is the same internal
energy u plus the product of p into v that is the definition of enthalpy.
So enthalpy is a property of a system it refers to both closed and open system in such a property
which is defined by this. Now, the question comes that, if we define enthalpy why such a
particular combinations of internal energy u pressure and volume has been defined as enthalpy,
this will be made clear afterwards and which will give the physicals significance of enthalpy.
So, at the present moment first we start with this definition mathematically without understating
much as if this particular combination is defined as a property which is known as enthalpy of a
system which refers to both closed and open system, because it is the definition of a property
which does not depend upon the type of the system or the type of the process executed by a
system it is a property of the system.
7
So, its very important sometimes it is asked that whether enthalpy is defined for a closed system
or open system, for any system its a property just like a internal energy pressure volume
temperature like that enthalpy, now you see u is an extensive property v is an extensive property
so, therefore H is a extensive property
so we can defined the intensive property corresponding intensive property that is enthalpy per
unit mass which is specific enthalpy as specific internal energy plus pressure into specific
volume, so this is the definition of specific enthalpy.
Now, with this definition of enthalpy, let us now find out one small thing or a small problem to
solve one small problem that a closed system that a closed system receive some heat from
outside and performing a process from state 1 to 2 and is doing pdv work at constant pressure
understand
So, what is the amount of heat added? Now, let us find out these as a problem. Now, Q
1-2
we can
write as what is this u
2
minus u
1
plus integration of pdv. Now, earlier also we recognize that,
integral cannot be found out or evaluated until and unless we know the process constant that
what is the relationship between p in terms of v. Now, if we know that process constant is such
that pressure is constant, then we can write this u
2
minus u
1
plus a constant pressure that is p
times v
2
minus v
1
. so you can write this we can use p
2
when you multiply with v
2
and or p
1

multiplied with v
1
since p
2
is equal to p
1
pressure remains constant that means that constant
pressure the displacement is taking place.
That means, heat is added in such a way that whenever it is displaced it is at constant pressure
then we get u
2
plus p
2
v
2
minus u
1
plus p
1
v
1
is equal to H
2
minus H
1
. So, therefore we see the
heat added is given by the difference is enthalpy at the two states enthalpy at state 2 minus
enthalpy at states. This can be more easily found out from the differential form that delta Q is
equal to those who are little smatter then du plus pdv then you can use it like this d of u plus pv
why because p of dv is d of pv since p is constant it can go within this differential operator that
means it is dH
So, from here one can conclude Q
1-2
means if you integrate H
2
minus H
1
, therefore we see that
the heat interactions between a system closed system and the surrounding when closed system
8
performs displacement that pdv work at constant pressure is giving by its the difference of
enthalpy between the two states. That means, if it goes from state 1 to state 2, if the enthalpy at
state 2 is more than the state 1 then heat is being added because Q is positive in that case if the
enthalpy of state 2 is less than the enthalpy of state 1, the heat is being rejected by the system
that is Q is negative.
That means the different between the enthalpy at the two states point gives the heat interactions
between the system and the surrounding provided the system is a closed system and performs
pdv work at constant pressure. How the pdv work at constant pressure is perform when the
displacement work is being obtained, that means the system boundary expand the pressure will
reduce, then heat is added in such a way that the pressure remains constant that means always
expansion is taking place at constant pressure.
Similarly, you can conceive physically that is a compression type of thing, that means if the
system boundary collapses then pressure should increase so that heat should be rejected in such a
way that it counter balances that increase in pressure that means that compression takes places
with constant. Next is we will define specific heats.
(Refer Slide Time: 18:07)

Specific heats we have already we know there are two specific heats Specific heats at constant
9
volume and specific heats at constant pressure which we have already read at school level
specific heat at constant volume and specific heat at constant pressure. How do you define the
specific heat? We define the specific heats in terms of the heat quantity but specific heat is a
property of a system. Specific heat at constant volume or constant pressure, these are the process
constant, we know the specific heat at constant volume is defined as the infinite small amount of
heat added to a closed system at constant volume to raise its temperature by an infinite small
amount delta T, then this ratio del Q by del t is the specific heat.
Now we will define these in terms of this system property rather than the path function and Q
and W how do you do it? Let us start the definitions of specific heat, let us consider the similar
way that a system of small mass delta m receives an infinite small amount of the delta Q for
which there is a rise in a temperature delta T. Then, as you know that definition of specific heat
is delta Q per unit mass, delta m divided by delta T, limit of this quantity as delta T approach a 0.
So, this is the basic definition of specific heat at constant volume provided, this is done at
constant volume v is equal to constant that means heat has to be added at constant volume of the
system. Now, if we look to the first law what is first law here, deltaQ is du plus pdv now in
defining this specific heat one restriction is there you always forget that there should not be any
other work transfer except the displacement work of the system.
So, we will not allow any other work transfer without the displacement work understand, so only
displacement work that is pdv work will be allowed. If we write delta Q by delta m what is this is
capital U I have just told this is small u that is means specific internal energy plus p into dv.
Now, when we make this at constant volume, that means heat added per unit mass at volume
constant, then we can write is as du v is equal to constant, this is 0. So, therefore del Q by del m
is du at constant volume.
So, if you substitute this, we get limit du at constant volume v is equal to constant divided by
delta T as delta T tends to 0, which becomes is equal to del U del t at constant volume usually it
is written like this in terms of the partial difference equation, U is function of two variables, in
case of single phase single component system u may be expressed as a function of T and v small
v small u.
10
So, therefore we can write partial differential, therefore you see that is specific heat at constant
volume becomes equal to partial differential of specific internal energy with temperature at
constant volume, it is clear cv is del U del t at constant volume.
(Refer Slide Time: 22:28)

Similar way we can prove that c
p
is del h and del t at constant pressure. How? Let us define small
cp is equal to, as we know the pressure constant has to be change only that means is the same
thing at constant pressure that means with the same nomenclature delta Q by delta m delta Q is
the small amount of heat added to a system of mass delta m, where p is equal to constant well
divided by delta T and limit of this quantity as delta T tends to 0.
Now, we will have to look to the first law, delta Q is du, I have told only we will relax this work
transfer no other work transfer only pdv work, if it has to be there at constant pressure what it
will be delta Q, first of all per unit mass equal to small u, plus pdv, that means at constant
pressure. J ust now we have recognized this; so it is a repetition at p is equal to constant it is the
change in enthalpy and it will be change in specific enthalpy because we are representing Q per
unit mass.
We write it at pressure is equal to constant, that means p simply I am giving p is equal to or you
can write p is equal to constant, that means here this things will be limit of change in specific
11
enthalpy at constant p at constant p divided by deltaT and the limit when deltaT tends to 0, so
this becomes delh delt, so it will be delh delt at constant pressure.
So, therefore specific heat at constant volume is the partial differential of specific internal energy
with respect to temperature at constant volume. Similarly, the specific heat at constant pressure
of a system is the partial differential of specific enthalpy with temperature at constant pressure.
So, this is now clear, with this I will close this lecture regarding first law applied to a closed
system, now I will come to the first law to this section, first law applied to an open system or
control volume.
(Refer Slide Time: 25:09)

Now, we may ask, first law, why it is not applicable? First law is the same, but how the different
version when you use the control volume the version changes little bit, because of the fact that
control volume and closed system that is open system and closed system, control volume system
and control mass system.
Usually, when we tell system it means, I have told earlier that is the control mass system we
usually do not use this word control mass system means control mass system on the other hand
control volume means, control volume system or open system.
12
So, their basic definition, say the basic requirement of control volume system or control volume
and open system and closed system are different, what is the control volume system. Let us
recapitulate it is the fixed region in the space upon which the concentration is put and there is a
continuous flow of matter into the control volume and continuous flow of matter coming out of
the control volume and during this what happens the properties of the matter which comings in
and going out coming in and going out changes and the control volume interacts with the
surrounding in terms of work and heat.
For an example, we have appreciated a compressor is a control volume just an example where
continuously air comes at certain properties and goes out at certain property. Whereas, the
interactions with the surrounding in terms of taking work, work is being added to the
compressor, so that a desired change in the properties of the air flow in through it is made.
Similarly the turbine continuously some gas or air is coming into heat and it is going out and this
unit as a control volume delivers work to the surrounding, heat exchanger continuously a fluid is
coming in and going out and heat is being added from the surrounding to this control volume.
So, these are the examples of control volume, let us discuss how the first law of
thermodynamics, that is basically the conservation of energy principle is written for this type of
control volume. Now, let us define a control volume like this, we are not much interested what
happens exactly within that we are only recognizing these as well control volume.
Now, let us identify a section where the fluid or the material comes in switches is usually fluid it
and the another sections where from the material which is usually fluid in practice goes out it is
usually a fluid goes out there may be multiple such inflow streams. There will be multiple such
outflow streams but it doesnt matter much and the analysis will remain same, but for our
simplicity we consider only one inflow stream and one outlet stream.
Let us define a section here just near to the control volume 1 1, let us define a section here ah just
at the outlet of the control volume 2 2. Now, this is the control volume, this is the situation, now
how do you make this analysis of the control volume and let us now consider as if the control
volume is receiving some heat, always we make analysis with the positive quantity of the energy
indirections, since control volume operates on the principle that always there is an continuous
13
inflow and there is a continuous outflow, this is the definition of control volume.
We always prescribe the energy interaction quantities with respect to time on the time basis,
because it is a continuous flow process, understand the continuous flow comes in and flows go
out that is the control volume concept, it may be steady, may be unsteady but it is the continuous
flow process. So, therefore because of this continuous process with time things are expressed in
terms of time rate, so delQ delt let us consider the rate at which heat is added to the control
volume. At the same time, we consider as if the control volume is delivering work to the
surrounding by this amount delta which may be coming in terms of shaft work usually a control
volume compressor turbine which I discussed there is a shaft mounted on it rotates against a
resisting torque gives the work done but we are not much interested that mechanism by which
work is transferred in thermodynamic. Let us consider some work is continuously being
transferred to the surrounding at the rate of del w delt while the control volume receives heat by
the amount delQ delt.
Now, first write the conservation of mass for the control volume which is very simple we have
done it fluid mechanics class, let us denote the mass flow rate because it is rate is very important
d m
1
and d t at the inlet and let us write d m
2
and dt is the rate of mass out and at any instant let
us define m
cv
is the mass of the control volume.
So, conservation of mass is very simple from commonsense, that is the mass rate flow coming in
inflow rate of mass minus mass flow rate reflects dm to dt, that means rate of change of mass
that means mass flow rate that is the mass flow rate mass flow rate coming into the control
volume minus the mass flow rate going out of the control volume is equal to dm, that is the rate
of change of mass within the control, this simple conservation of mass which was exploited in
fluid mechanics to derive the equation in terms of the velocity components which we are not
doing here that is known as popular continuity equation.
So, basically conservation of mass tells like that the rate of mass inflow minus rate of mass
outflow is the rate of increase of control volume mass m
cv
dt, now what about energy, that is the
first law conservation of energy also will come from the same commonsense that if we denote
Ecv as the internal energy of the control volume at any instant, the rate of change of this internal
energy within the control volume will be the difference between the rate at which energy comes
14
into the control volume minus the rate at which energy goes out of the control volume, but here
we will have to recognize one thing as unlike the closed system, that in closed system energy
comes in and goes out only in the form of the work and heat, because no matter no material no
mass of the system goes out or comes in, but here since the masses are coming in and going out
so the energy quantities associated with this mass also comes within the control volume and
going out of the control volume.
So, we will have to recognize these two forms of energy which are coming into the control
volume. For example here along with this mass the energy is coming into the control volume
apart from that heat coming into the control volume. Similarly work is going out of the control
volume energy same time the energy associated with this stream of mass going out of the control
volume causes an energy going out of the control volume, so to recognize that one has to know
what is the energy?
So, now to know what is the energy coming into the control volume associated with this stream
of mass or what is the energy going out of the control volume associated with the stream of
mass, one has to no first what are the different forms of energy which are being associated with a
stream of mass as a stored energy within that stream.
If we defined e then we have to know, that means what is the stored energy in a stream of fluid
or mass in a stream of fluid, so therefore we have to know this thing if we know that then we can
find out what is the energy that is s coming into the control volume per unit time, so either to
know then what is the different form of stored or what is the total stored energy in a stream of
fluid.
Now, with the stream of fluid, what are the forms of energy that it can have stored in as an
internal energy of the stream of fluid if we tell that internal energy of a stream of fluid. The
Kinetic energy, potential energy, intermolecular energy because of its temperature, kinetic
energy because of the velocity potential energy because of its position in a conservative force
field intermolecular energy because of its temperature absolute above absolute 0 always as an
internal energy intermolecular energy, then another one is pressure energy that is the pressure
energy of flow work which we discussed in detail at the beginning of this class that pressure
energy pv or the flow work.
15
So, a stream of fluid can be designated by all these sorts of energy at any section, that means
when a fluid flows in a stream a section of this fluid possess all this energy if you describe in per
unit of mass. So, therefore denoting that stored energy per unit mass as e we can write e therefore
becomes equal to in general u first I write u that is per unit mass that is specific internal energy
plus the flow you should write after work, that is the pressure energy p by rho in fluid mechanics
we deal it at p by rho plus the kinetic energy as you told v square by 2 plus potential energy.
Here, we consider only the earth gravitational fields as the body force field there is no extra body
force field imposed on the fluid, so that we tell d dash gz that means this total sum of these four
quantities represents the energy stored per unit mass in a stream of fluid and designate it as e.
Now, if we designate the d here as e
1
and designate these as section e
2
then we can write the
energy coming in with this stream is d m
1
dt into e
1
, similarly energy going out with this stream
is dm
2
dt e
2.
.
Here one assumption is made what is that the properties that means all these properties not only
this properties all properties of stream inlet and outlet stream remains invariant with time they do
not change time that means, the properties of the fluid stream entering into the control volume
are going out of the control volume is invariant with time there is a change of this properties
while flowing through the control volume, but at this section all the properties are invariant so
that we can write the energy quantities entering into the control volume per unit rate is the mass
flow rate into energy per unit mass flow rate into energy per unit mass.
now we can write the conservation of energy like this that the total energy coming into the
control volume then what it will be it will be d m
1
dt into e
1
plus in the form of heat it is coming
delQ by delt minus the energy going out with the flow of mass outlet stream into e
2
minus del W
delt is equal to there is no other statement it has to be like that, means, energy quantity coming
into the control volume minus energy quantity going out of the control volume is the rate of
change of internal energy of the control volume. So, this is precisely the conservation of energy
statement of the control volume.
16
(Refer Slide Time: 38:08)

Now if we write this in terms of if we split this in terms of this then we get here itself we can
write d m
1
dt you can see this one know u
1
plus p
1
v
1
plus v
1
square by 2 plus g z
1
plus delQ delt
well minus d m
2
dt.
So we just splitting this u
1
u
2
terms u
2
plus p
2
v
2
it will be small v because it is per unit plus v
2

square by 2 plus g z
2
is equal to is equal to dEcv by dt so the energy coming in minus energy
going out is the rate of change of energy within the control volume so this is the energy coming
in with the inflow of the stream.
This is what specific internal energy internal energy per unit mass this is the flow work or
pressure energy per unit must this is the specific volume this is the kinetic energy per unit
volume this is a potential energy per unit this is total is this stored energy per unit mass with this
flowing stream times the mass flow rate it is the energy flow rate or energy flow rate coming into
the control volume plus the rate of heat coming into the control volume which we defined for the
problem minus this is the similar way rate of energy coming out of the control volume minus.
Here minus the rate of work coming out of the control volume which we first defined for the
problem must be equal to the rate of change of internal energy of the control volume and this is
precisely the thermodynamic to a control volume, it is very important this is first law of
17
thermodynamics to a control volume.
Here, what we have assume we have assume that the properties at the inlet stream and the outlet
streams are invariant with time there may be multiple of inlets streams which will come here
which will we go on adding all the energy quantities and there may be a multiple of outlet
streams which will go on adding at the outlet stream
So only simplification is that in this analysis of thermodynamic that this is the invariant with
time and this is uniform across a cross section obvious but here you always assume that all
properties not only this velocity v specific value internal energy all this things are uniform across
a cross section and invariant with time then it becomes as simple as this is only the
accountability of energy for the control volume. Now at steady state, what is the definition of
steady state?
When a control volume will be at steady state all its properties will remain invariant with time
that means both the mass and the energy being two of its important properties will remain
invariant with time which means at steady state a control volume is specified by this equation
that the rate of change of mass dm
cv
dt is 0 with time similarly rate of change of energy with time
is 0 that means there will be in variant with time that means, the conservation of mass will tell
that this will be 0 that means dm one dt is equal to d m 2 d t that means the mass inflow is equal
to the mass outflow . Similarly, dEcbdt dEcv dt will be 0.
Now if we make this first condition then we get d m
1
dt is equal to dm 2 dt because the mass
inflow is equal to mass outflow there are will be no mass change in the control volume let this
becomes is equal to dm and dt and if we substitute this in this energy equation that means if we
write d m
1
dt and dn 2 d t as dm dt.
18
(Refer Slide Time: 42:32)

Then we can write, dm dt into this quantity u
1
plus p
1
v
1
plus v
1
square by 2 plus g z
1
just simply
a repetition delQ by delt minus again dm dt into u
2
small u specific internal energy plus v
2
square
by 2 plus g z
2
minus del W is equal to 0 because there is dcb is 0 d Ecv dt is 0.
Now this equation at steady state can be expressed in terms of the quantities per unit mass here
all the quantities are energy per unit time but we will now express energy per unit mass to do that
we will have to divide all the terms by dm dt.
So that we get u
1
plus p
1
v
1
plus v
1
square by 2 plus g z
1
then this quantity will appear as delQ
del m whose meaning is that the heat transferred ah or heat added per unit mass heat added per
unit mass u
2
plus p
2
v
2
plus v
2
square by 2 plus g z
2
minus del w del m is equal to 0.
That means, we transfer this equation from the time rate bases to mass rate bases that means this
quantity contains internal energy per unit mass flow work per unit mass kinetic energy per unit
mass potential energy per unit mass this is the stored energy per unit mass with the inflow
stream, that means at the inlet section this is the heat added per unit mass.
Similarly, these are the stored energy at unit mass at the outlet sections of the fluid stream and
this is the work done per unit mass. So, this can be written now in a fashion now by you want u
1

plus p
1
v
1

this
will be 2. This is known as steady flow energy equation any one of this either this or this or this
is the time rate bases this is per unit mass bases and this is written in a different arrangement.
So, any one of this three are known a, steady flow energy equation, that means in steady flow
energy equation we see that the heat added per unit mass minus the work done per unit mass is
given by the difference of this stored energy per unit mass between the two system. Now you
will find out the immense physical significant of the term enthalpy in almost all the practical
appliances in engineering use the difference in kinetic energies and potential energies are
negligible compare to the change in enthalpy.
We are interested in these two quantities as engineers so therefore we are interested in the
changes not in the absolute value because engineer want what is the work what is the heating
interactions and they are always described by the first law in terms of the changes of the
properties, changes of enthalpy, changes of internal energy even changes of kinetic energy,
changes of potential energy.
We are not bothered about the absolute potential energy if you want to know what is the work
done in replacing a system from one point one to other point in a conservative force field you are
not bothered about the absolute potential energy at a particular point where from it was taken and
the particular point where it has been kept but you were only bothered about the change in the
potential energy.
So that they should be defined from a conventional and same reference data. So, therefore it is
the change, so these changes are small. In certain cases, the changes in kinetic energy in case of
nozzles and diffusers, we come across afterwards, changes in kinetic energy may be appreciable
compare to the change in enthalpies, but changing in potential energies are always negligible
because change in potential energy means what? It is with respect to the gravitational force
speed. So, we have to make a appliance very tall so that changes in potential energy becomes
appreciable to that of its change in enthalpy it is not so.

Therefore, if we consider those cases where changes in kinetic and potential energies are small
with respect to change in enthalpy, then we can write this one that delQ by delm minus delW by
delm is simply h
2
minus h
1
. See the important implications that means, for a control volume the
difference between the heat and work interaction comes out to be its changing enthalpy at the
outlet and inlet stream of fluid, provided, its change of kinetic energy and change of potential
energies are negligible to understand.
For a device which is only work interacting type for a work interacting device for which, delQ by
delm is 0. I can write this equation as delW by delm is h
1
minus h
2
that mean, dealing with a
compressor. I have a compressor. There is an inlet stream air 1 and there is an outlet stream air
well 1 and 2; delW by delm is h
1
minus h
2
in this equation.
We see that in compressor that this h
2
is more than h
1
; it comes at a lower pressure and
temperature; it goes out with a higher pressure and temperature; h
2
is more than h
1
and this
becomes negative which means the compressor takes the 1. Reverse is the case in turbine;
turbine work is coming out, h
1
is more than h
2
.

Similarly, if we consider a pipe, just i am giving some example only heating interacting devices.
You write this only for heat interacting device. If flow takes place like this and we give heat per
unit mass, so if one wants to know what is the heat added, if i know the enthalpy at this two point
i can write this steady flow energy equation making this term 0, that delQ by delm is simply
that means if heat is added h
2
will be more than h
1
or heat is rejected h
2
will be less than h
1
.
Sometimes in a control volume, there is no work in interaction; there is a conversion from one
form to other form. For example, a nozzle, what you will do here in adiabatic nozzles? There is
adiabatic surface insulated at stream 1 and stream 2. At stream 1, liquid or fluid comes with
enthalpy h
1
and a velocity v
1
and here in fluid goes out enthalpy h
2
and velocity v
2
and what
happens is that v
2
is greater than v
1
, whereas, h
2
is less than h
1
. At the expense of this enthalpy
that means internal energy plus pressure energy, we create the kinetic energy. Then its kinetic
energy is created out of the some of the internal energy and the pressure energy. In that case, we
can write the energy equation not by neglecting this v
1
square by 2 terms that means we can
neglect the change in the potential energy term.
In that case, we can write that delQ by delm minus delW by delm is equal to h
2
plus v
2
square by
2 minus... Since this is the adiabatic, no heat transfer is taking place, no work is performed by the
nozzle with this surrounding and this term will be zero. We can write that v
2
square minus v
1

square by 2 is h
1
minus h
2
. It is because of this enthalpy difference, the change in kinetic mass.
22
This way we can apply the steady flow energy equations in different control volume in practices.
[Conversation between professor and student.]
Try to understand volume is changed, pressure is changed everything is change but gross energy
balance will be an increase in enthalpy because of the work done. Now, how we get it in increase
in enthalpy within because increase in enthalpy knows enthalpy composed of two parts u plus pv.
So whether there is a change in u or not i do not know so far that will come from the property
relations if it is an air. So this is an ideal gas; internal energy is a function of temperature. Only if
temperature increases, the internal energy will increase. So if there is an increase in internal
energy we will find out there is an increase in temperature and there is an increase in internal
energy. Similarly, there will be an increase in pressure energy also because of the product of p
and v whether volume decrease and pressure increase, probably, their product is increased. We
do not know these things, conclusively, that what will be there with this two counter acting
effects. So specific volume is decrease at the same time pressure is increase, but the product will
be increased. At the present moment we are not even going into that detail because we do not
know how much pv is increased? How much u is increased so that there is a decrease in pv or
increase in u? But we are not reading the air compressor. We are analyzing the
thermodynamically that there is an increase in enthalpy.
We will find out whether this increases is because of increase in u or increase in pv or how much
for u or how much for pv or a combination of increase decrease total increase that we are not
going through at the present moment, that will be found out if we know the property relations
and how do they change but only thing is that the enthalpy is increased. Think it from
thermodynamic point of view, do not go into that detail, that will come afterwards, but in fact I
tell you for your information, the pressure energy increased, because increase in pressure is much
more than the decrease in the specific volume.
So, first law for a closed system and first law for an open system or a control volume that we
have finished. Next class, what I will do, I will solve some problems in this class here, so you
come prepared, you go through this lecture that first law and second low analysis to closed and
open system, we will solve, some simple problems and some complicated problem also.
