The objectives of Chapter 4 are to:
|
|
|
Examine the moving boundary work or P dV work commonly encountered in reciprocating devices such as automotive engines and compressors. |
|
|
|
Identify the first law of thermo-dynamics as simply a statement of the conservation of energy principle for closed (fixed mass) systems. |
|
|
|
Develop the general energy bal-ance applied to closed systems. |
|
|
|
Define the specific heat at con-stant volume and the specific heat at constant pressure. |
|
|
|
Relate the specific heats to the calculation of the changes in internal energy and enthalpy of ideal gases. |
|
|
|
Describe incompressible substances and determine the changes in their internal energy and enthalpy. |
|
|
|
Solve energy balance problems for closed (fixed mass) systems that involve heat and work interactions for general pure substances, ideal gases, and incompressible substances. |
