Entropy and Exergy Flashcards
Entropy Transfer by Heat is
Path dependent
Entropy production is…
The difference between the entropy transfer by heat chosen path versus the reversible path
The ____ of a process is always that in which net entropy (___ + ___) increases
direction; system + environment
Entropy production represents…
a loss of resources
Entropy production can occur in…
the system or the environment (or both)
Entropy production is a measure of energy moving from usable to
unusable form
Exergy destruction is a direct measure of….
energy moving from usable to unusable form
Exergy destruction =
sigma_p * To
For a reversible process, the area under the Temp - Entropy (S) curve =
Heat (Q) transferred
dQ = T*dS
Enthalpy (h) =
u + p*v
For a reversible process, dW =
p*dV
SCI stands for
strength of Clausius inequality
SCI represents relative measure of…
inefficiencies of a cycle
Flow work is…
Rate of energy supplied by a system to push the fluid out
enthalpy is measured in
Joules
