Forms of Energy:
Heat, Work, Kinetic, Potential, Enthaply.
(7.1 page 315)

Kinetic Ek: motion, rotation

Potential Ep: position, level

Internal U: atoms, molecules

Heat Q: temperature different

between system and surrounding
+ve to the system from surrounding
Work, W: driving force
+ve done by the system to the
surrounding
Enthalphy, H: Open system, change
in temperature

Kinetic and Potential Energy :

(7.2 page 317)

Kinetic energy: Ek (J) = (mu2)

u = velocity (m/s)
m = mass (kg)

Potential Energy : EP (J) = mgz

g = gravity
z = elevation

Examples

Examples 7.2-1
Example 7.2-2

Energy balances:
closed and open systems

Batch = closed system

Semibatch and continuous
systems = open systems

Energy balance in closed

system

U E K E P Q W eq 7.3 4
(final initial)

U 0,
In closeds system, no temp. change, no phase change,
no chem reaction, almost no pressure change
E K 0, E p 0
No acceleration , no rising and falling, respectively
Q 0, adiabatic
temp surrounding and system is the same, perfect isulation
W 0,
no moving part ect...

Example 7.3-1

Energy balance opened

system at steady state
Work
(Flow + Shaft) eq 7.4-1
Work done by fluid eq 7.4-4
Specific properties and enthalpy
Specific = amount/total amount

v specific volume (L/kg)

specific enthalpy U
pV
