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
