REVIEW OF FUNDAMENTALS
A. PROPERTIES OF PURE SUBSTANCES
(a) Water/Steam or Refrigerants
Use Property Tables for the appropriate substance
To determine in which region the state is:
Given T and P, using the saturation pressure table
For the given P, if T < Tsat
subcooled liquid
For the given P, if T > Tsat
superheated vapour
If other properties are given, e.g, v and T,
using the saturation temperature table, for given T
vvf
subcooled liquid
v f v vg saturated liquid-vapour mixture
v vg
superheated vapour
Can use u, h or s in similar manner
(i) Subcooled Liquid
- approximate using sat. liquid properties at
given T
v vf(T), u uf(T), s sf(T)
h hf(T) + vf(P-Psat) (second term can be
neglected for low values of P)
(ii) Sat. Liquid-Vapour Mixture

- given P, from sat. pressure table, T = Tsat
- given T, from sat. temperature table, P = Psat
Using sat. pressure or sat. temperature table
(depending on whether P or T is given)
- obtain v f , v g
- given v, obtain dryness fraction,
x=
v vf
vg v f
- given x, obtain v = (1 x )v f + xv g
- other properties may be similarly obtained,
e.g. h = (1 x)h f + xhg = h f + xh fg
(iii) Superheated Vapour
- use Superheated Vapour Tables
given P, T
determine v, u, h, s by interpolation
(b) Ideal Gas (e.g. Air)
Pv = RT
u = u(T )
h = h( T )
du = Cv dT
dh = C p dT
Assuming constant Cv , C P
u2 u1 = Cv ( T2 T1 )
h2 h1 = C P ( T2 T1 )
s2 s1 = C P ln(T2 / T1 ) R ln( P2 / P1 )
s 2 s1 = C v ln(T2 / T1 ) + R ln(v 2 / v1 )
or
(c) Incompressible Substance (Liquids/Solids)

v = constant ;
C p = Cv = C
Assuming constant C
u2 u1 = C (T2 T1 )
h2 h1 = C (T2 T1 ) + v f ( P2 P1 )
s 2 s1 = C ln(T2 / T1 )
B. CLOSED SYSTEM ANALYSIS

-
Fixed Mass or Non-Flow System
(a) First Law (Energy Balance):

Q W = E = U + KE + PE
-
For stationary systems: KE , PE = 0

Q W = U = m(u 2 u1 )
Q = +ve (in); Q = ve (out);

W = +ve (out); W = ve (in);
Moving boundary work, Wb = PdV

Need the process equation linking P and V,

Other types of work, Wshaft , Welec may be present.
(b) Second Law (Entropy Balance):

Q
+ S gen = S = m( s2 s1 )
is entropy transfer by heat transfer; +ve
for heat in and ve for heat out.

-
Tb is the absolute temperature at which the
heat is transferred
-
S gen is the entropy generation due to
irreversibilities; and is always +ve

For isolated systems (e.g. system and
surroundings), a special type of closed system:
Q = 0, W = 0
U = 0
S (= S sys + S surr ) = S gen 0
C. STEADY STATE CONTROL VOLUME (SSCV)

- a region in space, with mass flow across
boundary; also called Open or Flow System
- deals mostly with rate processes
- no changes inside the CV (steady state)
- changes is between inlet state and exit state
Typical SSCVs: Turbine, Compressors, Pumps,
Nozzles, Valves, Heat Exchangers (includes
Boilers, Condensors and Evaporators)
SSCV with single inlet, single exit

because volume of SSCV does not change
(c) Second Law (Entropy Rate Balance):

PE changes between inlet and outlet)

D. SPECIAL PROCESSES
(a) Isentropic Process
When a process is adiabatic ( Q or Q& = 0 ) and
reversible ( S gen or S& gen = 0 ), then
s 2 = s1
or
se = si
(constant entropy)
For an Ideal Gas, the isentropic relation is

(i) assuming constant Cv , C P , k = C P / C v
k
P2 v1 T2
= =
P1 v2 T1
k
k 1
This is equivalent to a polytropic process

with n = k.
(b) Isothermal Process
T2 = T1
or Te = Ti
(constant temperature)
For an Ideal Gas

P1v1 = P2 v2 = RT = constant
u 2 = u1
h2 = h1
