Mechanical Energy

15
Q

pressure itself is not a form of energy, but a
pressure force acting on a fluid through a distance
produces work,

A

flow work,

16
Q

Energy can cross the boundary of a
closed system in two distinct forms:

A

heat and work

17
Q

is defined as the form of
energy that is transferred between
two systems (or a system and its
surroundings) by virtue of a
temperature difference

18
Q

is energy in transition. It is
recognized only as it crosses the
boundary of a system

19
Q

A process during which there is no
heat transfer is called

are point functions (i.e., they depend on the state only, and not on how a system reaches that state), and they have exact differentials designated by the symbol d. A small change in volume, for example, is represented by dV, and the total volume change during a process between states 1 and 2 is

25
The net change (increase or decrease) in the total energy of the system during a process is equal to the difference between the total energy entering and the total energy leaving the system during that process
ENERGY BALANCE
26
The determination of the energy change of a system during a process involves the evaluation of the energy of the system at the beginning and at the end of the process, and taking their difference
ENERGY CHANGE OF A SYSTEM
27
Heat transfer to a system (heat gain) increases the energy of the molecules and thus the internal energy of the system
Heat Transfer, Q
28
An energy interaction that is not caused by a temperature difference between a system and its surroundings is work
Work Transfer, W
29
Mass flow in and out of the system serves as an additional mechanism of energy transfer. When mass enters a system, the energy of the system increases because mass carries energy with it

efficiency of a water heater
31
which is the ratio of the electrical power output to the mechanical power input
Generator efficiency
32
is usually defined as the ratio of the net shaft work output of the turbine to the heat input to the working fluid
thermal efficiency of a power plant
