Engineering Steady flow energy equation in Thermodynamics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the steady flow energy equation in thermodynamics from first principles, specifically for a given system. The user seeks guidance on how to approach this derivation and how it would differ in an unsteady state. They express difficulty finding online resources that explain these concepts clearly, indicating a need for more accessible educational materials. Textbook references provided include "Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics" and "Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics." The user aims to understand these principles better in preparation for upcoming exams.

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
