5.3 First Law of Thermodynamics
The Energy Equation The first law of thermodynamics is a
statement of conservation of energy.
The control volume formula for the first law.
The energy equation involves stored energy and
heat and work transfer.
the first law of thermodynamics for the
contents of a control volume can be expressed
as
The one-dimensional energy equation
for steady-in-the-mean flow On a time-average basis for flow that is one-dimensional, cyclical, and involves only one stream of fluid entering and leaving the control volume can be simplified as
