Steady flow energy equation in Thermodynamics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the steady flow energy equation in thermodynamics from first principles, as well as exploring how this equation changes in unsteady flow scenarios. Key resources mentioned include "Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics" by Moran et al. and "Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics" by Smith and Van Ness. The user seeks clarity on these concepts to prepare for upcoming exams, indicating a need for detailed breakdowns of the equations involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamic principles
  • Familiarity with the first law of thermodynamics
  • Knowledge of steady and unsteady flow concepts
  • Basic mathematical skills for equation derivation
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of the steady flow energy equation in detail
  • Research the differences between steady and unsteady flow energy equations
  • Explore examples from "Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics" for practical applications
  • Review problem sets related to energy equations in thermodynamics
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for thermodynamics exams, educators teaching thermodynamic principles, and professionals in engineering fields requiring a solid understanding of energy equations.

Homework Statement
steady flow energy equation
Relevant Equations
First law
I am looking for help on the following:

a) Given the system shown in the figure below, derive the steady flow energy equation from first principle.

b) Again using first principles, show how the energy equation would change for the case when the system is unsteady.

I am trying to learn this for upcoming exams.

But i can find nowhere on line which breaks down this sort of question. Which means i can't understand how to complete these sort of questions.

Can anyone help me complete this question please? So i can get an understanding of these types of questions.

Thanks
