First Law of Thermodynamics | eBook PSP 9 2.2 Specific Heat at Constant Pressure and Constant Volume, Internal Energy and Enthalpy 1. Specific heat at constant pressure and constant pressure The specific heat capacity of any substance is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the unit mass through one-degree temperature raise. Table 2.1 : Specific heat at constant pressure and constant pressure Specific Heat at Constant Pressure, cp ▪ If 1kg of a gas is supplied with an amount of heat energy sufficient to raise the temperature of the gas by 1 degree whilst the pressure of the gas remains constant, the amount of heat energy supplied is known as the specific heat capacity at constant pressure. ▪ Unit: cp = J/kgK or kJ/kgK Specific Heat at Constant Volume, cv ▪ If 1kg of a gas is supplied with an amount of heat energy sufficient to raise the temperature of the gas by 1 degree whilst the volume of the gas remains constant, the amount of heat energy supplied is known as the specific heat capacity at constant volume. ▪ Unit: cv = J/kgK or kJ/kgK 2.

Relationship between Specific Heat, Constant Gas and Heat Ratio = = − = = ( − 1) = ( − 1) 2.3 Non-Flow Energy Non-flow energy is energy that flows through a system as heat and work but does not involve any mass moving into or out of the system. When there is no mass flow and the initial and final energies of a closed system are sometimes equal, the energy balance is simplified to Ein = Eout. (Energy in = Energy out). The majority of systems do not change their velocity or elevation during the process (∆KE = 0, ∆PE = 0). So, the First Law of Thermodynamics' principle of heat and work interactions can be used to express the energy balance for a cycle. ∆ = ∆ ∆ = ∆ − ∆ ( − ) +( − ) = 0 = = ∑ = ∑ 2.4 Non-Flow Processes (Isobaric, Isochoric, Isothermal, Adiabatic and Polytropic) Isobaric, isochoric, isothermal, adiabatic, and polytrophic processes are examples of non-flow processes. Where; Ru = Molar gas constant (kJ/kmolK) R = Specific gas constant (kJ/kgK) M = Molar mass (kg/kmol) cp = Specific heat at pressure constant (kJ/kgK) cv = Specific heat at pressure constant (kJ/kgK) = Specific heat ratio

First Law of Thermodynamics | eBook PSP 43 3.1 Open System A space under study that deals with mass flow into or out of a system is known as an open system or a control volume. It usually encloses a device such as turbine, compressor or nozzle. During the control volume, both mass and energy can cross the boundary of the system. The boundaries of a control volume is also known as a control surface. A control surface chosen can be fixed or movable depend on type of system being analyzed. Figure 3.1: Open system 3.2 Steady-Flow Process A process where a fluid steadily passes through a control volume. Although the fluid properties may differ from point to point throughout the control volume, but they do not change with time. 1. A fluid is said to be a steady flow if it meets the following conditions: i. The total mass inside the control volume does not change with time. ii. The properties of fluid must remain constant over time at any given point in the system. iii. A steady flow system’s interaction with its surroundings in terms of work energy and heat must remain constant over time. CONTROL VOLUME Inlet Outlet Q W
