Thermal-fluid sciences
The physical sciences that deal with energy and the transfer, transport, and conversion of energy. • Thermal-fluid sciences are studied under the subcategories of ü thermodynamics ü heat transfer ü fluid mechanics
System
A quantity of matter or a region in space chosen for study
Surroundings
The mass or region outside the system
Boundary
The real or imaginary surface that separates the system from
its surroundings.
• The boundary of a system can be fixed or movable.
• Systems may be considered to be closed or open.
Closed system (Control mass):
A fixed amount of mass, and no mass
can cross its boundary
Open system (control volume):
A properly
selected region in space.
• It usually encloses a device that involves mass
flow such as a compressor, turbine, or nozzle.
• Both mass and energy can cross the boundary of
a control volume.
Control surface
The boundaries of a control
volume. It can be real or imaginary.
Property
Any characteristic of a system. • Some familiar properties are pressure P, temperature T, volume V, and mass m. • Properties are considered to be either intensive or extensive.
Intensive properties
Those that
are independent of the mass of a
system, such as temperature,
pressure, and density.
Extensive properties
Those
whose values depend on the size—
or extent—of the system.
Specific properties
Extensive
properties per unit mass.
Formler for specific properties
V=V/m
e=E/m
Continuum
Matter is made up of atoms that are
widely spaced in the gas phase. Yet it is
very convenient to disregard the atomic
nature of a substance and view it as a
continuous, homogeneous matter
- The continuum idealization allows us to
treat properties as point functions and to
assume the properties vary continually
in space with no jump discontinuities.
• This idealization is valid as long as the
size of the system we deal with is large
relative to the space between the
molecules.
• This is the case in practically all
problems.
Formel density
p=m/V (kg/m3)
Formel specifik volume
v= V/m =1/p
Formel og definition for specific gravity
The ratio of the density of a substance to the density of some standard substance at a specified temperature (usually water at 4°C).
SG= p/pH2O
Formel og definition for specific weight
The weight of a unit volume
of a substance.
ys= pg (N/m3)
Density og specific volume forklaring
Density is mass per unit volume; specific volume is volume per unit mass.
Equilibrium
A state of balance.
• In an equilibrium state there are no
unbalanced potentials (or driving forces)
within the system.
Thermal equilibrium:
If the temperature
is the same throughout the entire system
Mechanical equilibrium
If there is no
change in pressure at any point of the
system with time.
Phase equilibrium
If a system involves
two phases and when the mass of each
phase reaches an equilibrium level and
stays there.
Chemical equilibrium:
If the chemical
composition of a system does not change
with time, that is, no chemical reactions
occur.
The State Postulate
The number of properties required to fix the state of a system is given by the state postulate: üThe state of a simple compressible system is completely specified by two independent, intensive properties.
Simple compressible
system:
If a system involves
no electrical, magnetic,
gravitational, motion, and
surface tension effects.
The state of nitrogen is
fixed by two independent,
intensive properties. (T og v)
Process
Any change that a system undergoes from one equilibrium state to
another.
Path:
The series of states through which a system passes during a process.
To describe a process completely, one should specify the initial and final states, as
well as the path it follows, and the interactions with the surroundings.
Quasistatic or quasi-equilibrium process
When a process proceeds in such a
manner that the system remains infinitesimally close to an equilibrium state at
all times.
Process diagrams - common properties that are used
as coordinates
temperature T,
pressure P, and volume V (or specific
volume v).
