Objectives
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 thermodynamics as simply a statement of
the conservation of energy principle for closed (fixed mass)
systems.
Develop the general energy balance applied to closed systems.
Define the specific heat at constant 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.

MOVING BOUNDARY WORK

Moving boundary work (P dV work):
The expansion and compression work
in a piston-cylinder device.
Quasi-equilibrium process:
A process during which the system
remains nearly in equilibrium at all
times.
Wb is positive for expansion
Wb is negative for compression
The work associated

with a moving
boundary is called
boundary work.
A gas does a differential

amount of work Wb as it
forces the piston to move
by a differential amount ds.
The boundary
work done
during a process
depends on the
path followed as
well as the end
states.
The area under the process curve on a P-V

diagram is equal, in magnitude, to the work
done during a quasi-equilibrium expansion or
compression process of a closed system.
A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains 5 kg of steam at 400 kPa and 200 C.

Heat is now transferred to the steam until the temperature reaches 250 C. If the
piston is not attached to a shaft and its mass is constant, determine the work done
by the steam during this process. (Pg. 167)

ENERGY BALANCE FOR CLOSED SYSTEMS

Energy balance for any system
undergoing any process
Energy balance
in the rate form
The total quantities are related to the quantities per unit time is
Energy balance per

unit mass basis
Energy balance in
differential form
Energy balance
for a cycle

Energy balance when sign convention is used: (i.e., heat input and
work output are positive; heat output and work input are negative).
Various forms of the first-law relation

for closed systems when sign
convention is used.
The first law cannot be proven mathematically, but no process in nature is known
to have violated the first law, and this should be taken as sufficient proof.

Energy balance for a constant-pressure

expansion or compression process
General analysis for a closed system
undergoing a quasi-equilibrium
constant-pressure process. Q is to the
system and W is from the system.
For a constant-pressure expansion

or compression process:

SPECIFIC HEATS
Specific heat at constant volume, cv: The
energy required to raise the temperature of
the unit mass of a substance by one degree
as the volume is maintained constant.
Specific heat at constant pressure, cp: The
energy required to raise the temperature of
the unit mass of a substance by one degree
as the pressure is maintained constant.
Constantvolume and
constantpressure specific
heats cv and cp
(values are for
helium gas).
11
True or False?
cp is always greater than cv
The equations in the figure are valid for

any substance undergoing any process.
cv and cp are properties.
cv is related to the changes in internal

energy and cp to the changes in
enthalpy.
A common unit for specific heats is

kJ/kgC or kJ/kgK. Are these units
identical?
Formal definitions of cv and 12
