‘SECOND EDITION
Fully revised to match the more traditional sequence of course materials, this full-color
second edition presents the basic principles and methods of thermodynamics using a
clear and engaging style and a wealth of end-of-chapter problems,
It includes five new chapters on topics such as mixtures, psychrometry, chemical
equilibrium, and combustion; and the discussion of the second law of thermodynam-
ics has been expanded and divided into two chapters, allowing instructors to intro-
duce the topic using either the cycle analysis in Chapter 6 0¢ the definition of entropy
Jn Chapter 7.
Online ancillaries, including a password protected solutions manual, figures in
electronic format, prepared FowerPoint lecture slides, and instructional videos, are
available at www.cambridge.orgithermo,

863Preface to the Second Edition
‘This second edition of Thermodynamics: Concepts and Applications results from a
Significant reorganization and expansion of the first edition. The first edition was
first published in 2006 by Steve Turns only and was well received by students and
instructors alike, We received encouraging comments and helpful feedback from
readers and this has been a great motivation to prepare a new and improved version
‘with updated text and illustrations. Laura Pauley was invited as the second author in
this edition to contribute aa additional approach to the introduction of second-law
analysis and to provide additional examples, applications, annd problems.
‘Asin the first edition, the purpose of the new edition i to Introduce undergraduate
students to the basie principles, aspects, and methods of thermodynamics. However,
we have:
«+ reorganized the text to follow the order in which material tends to he presented in a
thermodynamics course. For instance, entropy properties are not defined until they
are used in Chapter 7.
+ expanded the second-law material, dividing it into two chapters (Chapters Gand 7}
This is now presented in such a way that instructors can decide whether to
Luntroduce this topic in Chapter 6, using the eycle analysis, or in Chapter 7, starting.
from the definition of entropy.
‘+ added additional cycles to Chapter 9 (Which was previously Chapter 8), including:
closed feedwater heaters, cogeneration cycles. combined cycles, Otto and diesel
cyele.
+ moved mixtures to Chapter 10, humidity to Chapler 1, and combustion to Chap
ters 12 and 13,
+ increased the number of end-of chapter preblems from 899 in the first edition to
1363 in
‘+ reorganized and labeled the chapter problems by section in each chapter.
‘+ added FE problems to the chapters covering topics on the FE exam.
‘+ added EES or computer problems to Chapters 2 and 4-9, These problems frequently
include a parameter study. The EES problems are often presented as a series of
problems in which one case is solved by hand, that same problem is solved in EES,
and then the EES program is adapted for a parameter study. This gives the student a
structure for good analysis methods that includes checking with hand calculations.
+ included a hierarchical chart of topics atthe beginning of each chapter to orient the
studen
is new edition.
Features
‘Asin the first edition, this new edition includes a set of pedagogical features to enhance
‘students’ motivation and learning. as well as to make teaching easier and more effective
for the instructor. Feedback from instructors who use this book is most welcome.PREFACE,
Chapter Overviews
These appear at the beginning of each chapter and include: a list of learning object-
ives, a chapter introduction, and a brief historical perspective (where appropriate);
they conclude with a brief summary of the topics covered in each chapter. "These
sections will guide students as they are introduced to and study the thermodynamics
concepts in each chapter
Figures and Photos
Figures have been designed to convey the key concepts in a clear and self-explanatory
way. An abundance of color photographs and images illustrates important concepts
and emphasizes practical applications
In-Text Examples
Fach chapter contains many examples that follow a standard problem-solving format
The examples apply the concepts of the section and also demonstrate a methodical
solution method that should be followed by the student.
Self-Tests
Self-tests follow mast of the in-text examples. These slf-tests allow students to solve a
problem that is similar to the in-text example, This gives students an opportunity to.
work through the same solution steps as in the example, to gain confidence in problem
solving,
Problems
A large number of hierarchically arranged problems, expanded from the previous
‘dition, are included at the end of each chapter. The problems have been organized
by section titles to assist instructors and students. The National Institute of Science
and Technology (NIST) WebBook and miniREFPROP software for thermodynamic
properties are used extensively.
Review Questions
Now thought-provoking conceptual questions, instructional videos, problems requir-
lng FES/MATLAB or other software, and FE exam practice problems are included.
Key Equations
‘These are highlighted by a colored background to allow students to easily find these
‘equations and structure their learning, Instructors might specify that all homework.PREFACE ni
solutions must start from 2 key equation that js highlighted. ‘This can clarify which
‘equations can be used directly and which equations must be derived in a solution
Appendices for Additional Coverage
Appendices at the end of the book provide additional information on the topics
‘explored in the main text
Chapter Summaries
A section at the end of each chapter summarizes the key points developed in the
chapter so that students can, at a glance, confirm that they have understood the key’
take-away messages. These key concepts and definitions are linked to specific end-of
‘chapter questions and problems.
‘SI Units
St units have been consistently used throughout the book.
Organization
Chapter | provides motivation for studying thermodynamics by presenting many
applications and introduces key definitions and concepts to provide a framework for
further study. Chapter 2 develops the concept of state relations and presents various
‘equations of state (P, V, T relations) and calorific equations of state (4, a, ete, T; P
relations) Ideal gases, rel gases, and multi-phase substances (with emphasison liquid
‘vapor systems) are all treated here. Second-law properties are dealt with in later
chapters. Chapter 3 focuses entirely on the conservation of mass for open and closed
systems, with examples reinforcing the property relations from Chapter 2. Chapter 4
provides a detailed discussion of energy, heat interactions, and work transfers, setting
the stage for the study in Chapter 5 of the first law of thermodynamics.
‘The second-law content has been expanded and split into two chapters. The two
‘chapters are written to allow the second law to be introduced in two different ways
‘Chapter 6 introduces the second-law analysis for cycles, whereas Chapter 7 introduces
second-law analysis starting with the definition of entropy for a reversible isothermal
process. The earliest sections of Chapter 7 are written without reference to Chapter 6
so that an instructor can start with Chapter 7 and then consider cycle analysis in
Chapter 6,
Chapter presents steady-flow devices, and Chapter 9 deals with how these devices
ean be combined to provide systems for power production, propulsion, and heating
and cooling. Chapter 9 now contains traditional analyses of ges-power systems, e.g.
the Otto and diesel cycles.
‘Topics that are Likely to be covered in a second course in thermodynamics have
been unembedded, expanded, and moved to separate chapters: mixtures (Chapter 10)
psychrometry (Chapter 11). combustion (Chapter 12), and chemical equilibrium

WHY ANOTHER THERMODYNAMICS BOOK? With a number of excellent thermo-
‘dynamics textbooks available, what purpose is served by publishing another?
‘The answer to these important questions lies in the origins of this book. Although
the subject matter focuses almost entirely om traditional thermodynamics topics, the
structure of the book puts it in the broader context of the thermal-fluid sciences. The
following specific features provide this integrated fee:
‘+ Chapter 3 is devoted entirely to the conservation of mass principle and deals with
some concepts traditionally treated in fluid mechanics textbooks.
‘+ Rate laws for conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer are introduced in
Chapter 4—Energy and Energy Transfer. These rate laws are used subsequently in
examples in this and later chapters.
‘+The concept of head loss, 2 usual topic in fluid mechanics, is introduced in Chapter 5
and utilized in examples.
‘A second feature also sets this book apart from other engineering thermodynamics
textbooks: a hierarchical structure. The following arrangements illustrate the hier
acchical arrangement of subject matter:
‘+ In Chapter 2, essentially all material related to thermodynamic properties is grouped
together. In this way, we are able to show clearly the hierarchy of thermodynamic
state relationships: starting with the basic equation of state involving P, V, and 7:
adding first-law-based calorific equations of state involving uh, P, T. and y: and
ending with the secand-law-based state relationships involving s, T, P, and 9. for
example. Chapter 2 also treats properties of ideal gas mixtures and introduces
standardized properties for reacting mixtures. Such an arrangement requires that
Chapter 2 be revisited at appropriate places in the study of later chapters. In this
sense, Chapter 2 Is a resource that Is to be returned to many times.
‘+ Hlement conser vation, a topic central 1o reacting systems, Is considered in Chapter 3
as just one of many ways of expressing conservation of mass.
‘+ Consiant-pressure and constant-volume combustion are considered as toples within
Chapter 5. Energy Conservation.
‘+ Chemical and phase equilibria are treated as a consequence of the second law of
thermodynamics and developed within Chapter 6; therefore, all topics related to the
second law are found hierarchically in a single chapter.
‘What purpose is served by such an arrangement? First, it provides an important
structure for a beginning learner. Experts who have mastered and work within a
discipline organize material this way in their minds, while novices tend to treat
concepts in an undifferentiated way a a collection of seemingly unrelated iopics.'
* tak Memo, Jc SD. FS, HA “Eapet an Nove efermance in Sling Phys
rem” Soc, MM: L512 (158)miiv PREFACE
Even through all topics will not be covered sequentially in a course, when students
revisit chapters they will see the connections between new and previously covered
‘material. It is hoped that providing a useful hierarchy from the start may speed
learning and aid in retention, A second reason for a hierarchical arrangement is
Alexibility. In general, the book has been designed to permit an instructor to select,
topics from within a chapter and combine them with material from other chapters in a
relatively seamless manner. This flexibility allows the book to be used in many ways,
depending upon the educational goals of a particular course, or a sequence of courses.
To assist in selecting topics, the text distinguishes three levels; level 1 (basic) material
Js unmarked, level 2 (intermediate) material appears with a blue background and a
blue edge stripe, and level 3 (advanced) material is denoted with a light red back-
ground and a red edge stripe, Instructors can therefore choose from the numerous.
topics presented to create courses that meet their specific educational objectives. The
syllabus following the table of contents illustrates how the book might be used in a
traditional, one-semester, engineering thermodynamics class.
In addition to structure, many other pedagogical devices are employed in this
book. These include the following:
+ An abundance of color photographs and images illustrate important concepts and
‘emphasize practical applications;
+ Bach chapter begins with a list of learning objectives, a chapter overview. and a
brief historical perspective, where appropriate, and concludes with a brief
summary:
+ Each chapter contains many examples that follow a standard problem solving
format;
+ Selftests follow most examples;
+ Key equations are denoted by colored backgrounds;
+ Bach chapter concludes with a checklist of key concepts and definitions linked 10
specific end-of-chapter questions and problems;
+ The National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) database for thermo-
dynamic and transport properties (included in the NIST12 v.5.2 software provided
‘with the book) is used extensively.
All of these features are intended to enhance student motivation and learning and
to make teaching easier for the instructor. For example, the many color photographs
make connections to real-world devices, 4 strong motivator for undergraduate stu-
dents. Also, the learning objectives and checklists are particularly useful. For the
instructor, they ald in the selection of homework problems and the creation of quizzes
and exams, or other instructional tools. For students, they can be used as sef-tests of
comprehension and can monitor progress. The checklists also cite topic-specitic
questions and problems. In his use of the book. the author utilizes the learning
objectives to guide reviews of the material prior to examinations. Having well-defined
learning ebjectives is also useful in meeting engineering accreditation requirements
Many questions and problems are included atthe end of each chapter. The purpose of
the questions is to reinforce conceptual understanding of the material and to provide
an outlet for students to articulate such understanding. Throughout the book, stu-
dents are encouraged to use the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST)
databases to obtain thermodynamic properties. The online NIST property database is
casily accessible and is a powerful resource It s a tool that will always be up to date.PREFACE xv

IN THIS CHAPTER. we introduce and define the subject of thermodynamics. We also
introduce three complex practical applications of our study of thermodynamics: the
fossil fueled steam power plant, jet engines, and the spark-ignition reciprocating
engine, To set the stage for more detailed developments later in the book, several of
the most important concepts and definitions are presented here, These include the
concepts of: open and closed thermodynamic systems; thermodynamic properties,
states, and cycles; and equilibrium and quasi-equilibrium processes. The chapter
concludes with an organizational overview of engineering thermodynamics and pre
sents some ideas of how you might optimize the use of this textbook based on your
particular edveational objectives
‘Thermodynamics is one of three disciplines known collectively as the thermal-fuid
sciences, sometimes as just the thermal sciences: thermodynamics, heat transfer, and
fluid mechanics. We begin with a dictionary definition |} of thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is the science that deals with the relationship of heat and
mechanical energy and conversion of one into the other,
‘The Greek roots, cherme, meaning heat, and dynamis, meaning power or strength,
suggest a more elegant definition: the power of heat. In its common usage in engineer-
ing. thermodynamics has come to mean the broad study of energy and its various
Interconversions from one form to another. Figure |. illustrates a few examples that
motivate our study of thermodynamics,

1.2 Some Applications
Practical applications of thermodynamics abound. Biological systems provide many
examples. Consider yourself as a thermodynamic system. All of your physical activ-
ities require energy transformation. Energy stored in the chemical bonds of foodstufls
{s transformed to power temperature regulation, respization, blood circulation, muscle
movements, and other body functions. Electronic devices are ubiquitous. Consider
your smart phone. Charging the phone involves converting electrical energy from a
‘all outlet to chemical energy stored in the phone’s battery. The energy in the battery
thea powers the electronic circuits and is ultimately transported to the surroundings
as thermal energy. Another natural example of the application of thermodynamics is
provided by the physical processes associated with the weather, Radiant energy from
the sum heats the ground, which in turn heats the air and results in thermals and
downdrafts. The evaporation and condensation af water to form clouds involve
thermodynamic processes. Some of the problems at the end of this chapter focus on
everyday applications of thermodynamics.
‘We introduce the following three practical applications, which we use as recurring
themes throughout the book:
+ Steam power plants,
+ Spark-ignition engines, and
+ Jet engines.
‘These applications, and others, provide 2 practical context for our study of thermo-
dynamics. Many of the examples presented in subsequent chapters revisit these
specific applications, as do many of the end-of-chapter problems. Where these par-
ticular examples appear, a note reminds the reader that the example relates to one of
these three themes.
1.2a Steam Power Plants
There are many reacons to choose the steam power plant as an application of thermo-
dynamics. First, and foremost, is the overwhelming importance of such power plants
10 our daily existence. Imagine how your life would be changed if you did not have
access to electrical power (Fig, 1.2) of, less severely, if electricity had to be rationed 90
that It would be available to you only a few hours each day! It is easy to forget the
blessings of essentially limitless electrical power available to residents of the United
States, From Table 1.1, we see that the combustion of fossil fuels is the dominant
source of our electricity; approximately 63.4% of the electricity produced in the
United States in 2018 had its origin in the combustion of a fossil fuel, that is, coal,
$28, oF oil. Figure 1.3 shows a German coal-fired power plant. Nuclear power is the
second largest source with approximately 19.3% of the total generation. We also note
that, with 8.2%, the combined amount of electricity generated by solar and wind
power has increased by almost a factor of six from 2008 to 2018. A second reason for
four choice of steam power plants as an integrating application Is the historical
significance of steam power. The science of thermodynamics was bern, in part, from
a desire to understand and improve the earliest steam engines, John Newcomen’s frst
coal-fired steam engine in 1712 (Hig, 1.4) predates the discovery of the fundamental
principles of thermodynamics by moce than a hundred years! The idea later to beL.2SOME APPLICATIONS 3

the hardware used to accomplish this cycle. Im subsequent chapters, we will add
devices and complexity to the basic cycle. Figure 1.5 shows the basic steam power

(Giguid and vapor) is the working fuid in the closed loop 1-2-3-4-1. The water
‘undergoes four processes:
Process 1-2 A pump boosts the pressure of the liquid water prior to entering the
boiler. To operate the pump, an input of energy is required.
Process 2-3 Energy is added to the water in the boiler, resulting, first, im an increase in
the water temperature and, second, in a phate change. The hot products of
combustion provide this energy. The working fluid is liquid at state 2 and all
‘vapor (steam) at state 3
Process 3-4 Energy is xemoved from the high-temperature, high-pressure steam as it
expands through a steam turbine. The output shaft of the turbine is connected to
aan electrical generator for the production of electricity.
Process 4-1 The low-pressure steam Is returned to the liquid state as it lows through
the condenser. The energy from the condensing steam is transferred to the
cooling water.
Figures 141.10 illustrate the various generic components used in the Rankine
cycle. Figure 1.6 shows a cutaway view of an industrial boiler: a much larger central
‘power station utility boiler is shown in Figure 1.7, Although the design of boilers [}-6]
is well beyond the scope of this book, the text offers much about the fundamental
principles of their operation. For example, you will learn about the properties of water
and steam in Chaptcr 2, whereas the necessary aspects of mass and energy conser-
vation needed to deal with the components are treated in Chapters 3-5. Chapter 8

We choose the sprk-ignition engine as onc of our applications to revisit because there
are s0 many of them (Pig. 1.13) approximately 200 million are installed in automo~
Diles and light-duty trucks in the United States alone ~ and because many students are
particularly interested in engines. Owing to these factors, and others, many schools
offer entire courses dealing with internal combustion engines, and many books are
devoted to this subject, among them Refs. [9-12]

Compression Stroke The piston moves upward, compressing the mixture, The
temperature and pressure increase, Prior to the piston reaching the top of its travel
(ie. the top center position), the spark plug ignites the mixture and a flame begins
to propagate across the combustion chamber. The pressure rises above that due to
compression alee,
Expansion Stroke The flame continues its travel across the combustion chamber,
ideally burning al of the mixture before the piston has descended much from top
center, The high pressure in the cylinder pushes the piston downward. Energy is
extracted from the burned gases In the process,
Exhaust Stroke When the piston is near the bottom of its travel (bottom center), the
exhaust valve opens, The hot combustion products flow rapidly out of the cylinder
because of the relatively high pressure within the cylinder compared to that in the
exhaust port. The piston ascends, pushing most of the remaining combustion
products out of the cylinder. When the piston is somewhere near top center, the
exhaust valve closes and the intake valve opens. The mechanical cycle now repeats.
In Chapters 5 and 12, we will analyze the processes that occur during the times in
the eyele when both valves are closed and the gas contained within the cylinder can
be treated as a thermodynamic system. With this analysis, we can model the compres-
sion, combustion, and expansion processes. A section of Chapter 9 also focuses on the

1.3 Learning Thermodynamics
‘Many students find their study of thermodynamics to be challenging. Part of the
challenge results from the need to deal with many new concepts and relationships in
an effective way [/5]. Research has shown that in learning a new subject, beginning
learners or novices may treat their newfound knowledge as unrelated bits or pieces
however, experts in the subject have an integrated knowledge, bringing together the
‘many bits in ways that make sense and allow their knowledge to be useful [16]. Having
an integrated knowledge of thermodynamics will support your problem solving ability
and will lead to a deeper conceptual understanding, It can move you beyond a plug-
and-chug approach. Therefore, developing integrated knowledge should be a goal of
‘your learning, Achieving this integration is not an easy task. Asa first step toassist you
{in this process, we present Fig, 1.17, This figure shows the typical organization of a first
course in engineering thermodynamics. Here we see how the important bits and pleces
of thermodynamics knowledge go tagether to form a cogent whole. In exploring this
figure, we liken the structure of engineering thermodynamics to that of 2 house.
In the top levels, or top floors of our thermodynamics house, reside the exeiting
aspects af thermodynamics ~ the analysis and design of practical devices and systems.
(For example, see all the previous figures.) Being able to analyze and design practical
devices and systems may be an important motivation for your studying engineering,
‘The top floors present an exhilarating view.

important to achieving a deep understanding of thermodynamics; unfortunately, this
‘material provides a lot less excitement than do the top levels for most engineering,
students. Some people may say that it is boring. Nevertheless, it is where our study of
thermodynamics must begin (here in Chapter 1).
‘The next level up, our basement, contains the study of the properties of matter.
To create and operate practical devices and systems requires stuff, or matter; so
clearly, a study of the properties of matter is necessary. For our study, the matter
that matters the most is air, which we will treat as an ideal gas, and H,0 in its liquid
(owater} and vapor {steam) phases. OF course, we will not restrict our study to these
ids, At the end of your course of study, you should be comfortable working with
4 large number of fluids (Iiquids/gases). Although Chapter 2 contains most of the
‘material related to thermodynamic properties, we delay a discussion of entropy and
other related properties until Chapter 7. Other chapters also contain property-related
topics.
Sitting on top of he properties of matter are three fundamental principles: wo
conservation principles ~ those of mass and energy ~ and the second law of thermo-
dynamics. These are the big ideas associated with our study ~ they reside in the main
living area of our thermodynamics house.
In the context of a frst course in thermodynamics, the conservation-of-mass
principle is straightforward and causes little difficulty for students, Chapter 3, one
of the shortest, covers this principle.
‘The conservation-of-energy principle is at the heart of our study of thermodynam-
‘cs and offers more complexity than mass conservation. The idea here is that energy is
never ereated or destroyed, but orly converted from one form to another. Although
‘ot wishing to trivialize this idea, one can think of applying energy conservation (the
first law of thermodynamics) as an exercise in accounting ~ all energy debits and
credits must always balance. Throughout the book, we stress the importance of this
concept and seek ways to help the reader develop a deep understanding of it. Chapter 4
sets the stage for dealing with energy conservation, and Chapter 5 provides a detailed.
‘woatment, Subsequent chapters al link back to or use this important concept.
The second law of thermodynamics (Chapter 6), the third of our big ideas, places
limits on what is possible —limits over and above those associated with conservation of
energy. For example, the second law establishes the maximum possible thermalFIGURE 1.18 The system boundary

Chapter 7. From the viewpoint of Fig. 1.17, the discussion of entropy could be part
of Chapter 2, a8 entropy is just another thermodynamic property. However, the
second law needs to precede the introduction of entropy to provide the context for
understanding this property.
‘We will repeat Fig. 1.17 as we move through the book, highlighting the material
treated at each juncture. Again, the purpose of this Is to help you organize your
knowledge of thermodynamics in useful ways. We now enter the sub-basement, the
highlighted portion of Fig. 1.17.

ings. The boundary may be a real surface or an imaginary construct indicated by 2
dashed line on a sketch. Figure 1.18 illustrates the separation of a system from its
surroundings by a boundary.
‘We will deal with two kinds of systems, The first is a closed (or fixed-mass)
system. The specific definition of a closed system is the following
A closed system is a specifically identified fixed mass of material separated from
ity surroundings by a real or imaginary boundary.
‘The boundaries of a closed system need not be fixed in space but can, out of
necessity, move. For example, consider the gas as the closed system of interest in the
piston-cylinder arrangement shown in Fig.1.19. As the piston ascends and the gas is
compressed, the closed system boundary shrinks to always enclose the same mass.
Conversely, the closed system boundary expands when the piston travels
downward.
Depending upon one's objectives, a closed system may be simple or complex.
homogeneous or nenhomogenous. Our example of the gas enclosed in an engine
cylinder (Fig. 1.19) is a relatively simple closed system. The system consists of only
‘one substance: the fucl-air mixture. To simplify further an analysts of this particular
closed system, we might assume that the fuel-air mixture has a uniform temperature,
although in an operating engine the temperature will vary throughout the system. The
‘matter within the closed system need not be a gas. Liquids and solids, of course, can be
the whole system or a part of it, Again, the key distinguishing feature of a closed
system is that it contains a fixed quantity of matter, No mass can cross the closed-
system boundary.“

To further illustrate the thermodynamic concept of a closed system, consider the
computer chip module schematically illustrated in Fig. 1.20. A thermal analysis of this
device can be performed to ensure that the chip stays sufficiently cool. Considering
the complexity of this module, a host ef po
le closed systems exist. For example, we
might choose 4 system boundary surrounding the entire device and cutting through
the connecting wires, indicated as system 1, Alternatively, we might choose the chip
itself (system 2) to be the closed system of interest.
Choosing system boundaries is eritieal to any thermodynamic analysis, One of the
goals of this book is to help you develop the skills required to define and analyze
thermodynamic systems,

In contrast to a closed system, mass may cross the boundary of, and enter andjor exit,
an open system, Open systems are also known as control volumes. The term open
system it more frequently used in thermodynamics, whereas the term control volume
Is more frequently used in the domain of fluid mechanics; however, there is no
distinction between the two terms, We formally define an open system as follows:
An open system isa region in space separated from its surroundings by a real or
iginary boundary across which mass may pass
Figure 1.21 ilustrates an open system and its attendant boundary. Here, mass in the
form of water vapor er water droplets erasses the upper part of the boundary as a
result of evaporation from the hot liquid coffee. For this example, we chose a fixed
boundary near the top of the cup: however, we could have chosen the regressing
liquid surface to be the upper boundary. The choice of moving boundary may or may
not simplify an analysis, depending on the particular situation.1.4 PHYSICAL FRAMEWORKS FOR ANALYSIS

In addition to frameworks for analysis (closedjopen systems), several other basic
concepts permeate our study of thermodynamics and are listed in ‘lable 1.2. We

1.5a Properties
Before we can begin a study of thermodynamic properties understood in their most
restricted sense, we define what is meant by a property in general
A property is.a quantifiable macroscopic characteristic of a system.
Examples of system properties include mass, volume, density, pressure, tempera
ture, height, width, and color, among others. Not all system properties, however, are
thermodynamic properties. Thermodynamic properties all relate in some way to the
energy of a system. In our lst here, height, width, and color, for example, do not
qualify as thermodynamic properties, although the others do. A precise definition of
thermodynamic properties often depends on restricting the system to which they
apply in subtle ways. Chapter 2 4s devoted to thermodynamic properties and their
interrelationships
Properties are frequently combined to create new ones. For example, a spinning
baseball in flight not only has the properties of mass and velocity but also kinetic
energy and angular momentum. Thus, any closed system may possess numerous
properties
1.5b States
Another fundamental concept in thermodynamics is that of a state:
A thermodynamic state of a closed system is defined by the values of all the
closede-system thermodynamic properties.
When the value of any one of a closed system's properties changes, the system
undergoes a change in state. For example, hot coffee in a thermos bottle undergoes aFIGURE 1.24 (a) A closed stern

continual change of state as it slowly cools. Not all thermodynamic properties neces
sarily change when the state of a system changes: the mass of the coffee in a sealed
‘thermos remains constant while the temperature falls. An important skill in solving
‘problems in thermodynamics is to identify which properties remain fixed and which
‘properties change during a change in state,
1.5c Processes
‘One goal of studying thermal-fluid sciences is to develop an understanding of how
various devices convert one form of energy to another. For example, how does the
burning coal in a power plant result in the electricity supplied 10 your home? In
analyzing such energy transformations, we formally introduce the idea of a thermo-
dynamic process:
A process occurs whenever a closed system changes from ane state to another
state.
Figure 1.29 illustrates process in which the gas contained in a cylinder-piston
arrangement at state 1 is compressed to state 2. As Is obvious from the sketch, one
property, the volume, changes in going from state 1 to state 2. Without knowing more
details of the process, we cannot know what other properties may have changed as
‘well, In many thermodynamic analyses, a single property ~ for example, temperature,
[pressure, or entropy ~is held constant during the process, In these particular cases,
‘we refer to the processes as a constant-temperature (Isothermal) process, constant-
‘pressure (isobaric) process, of a constant-entropy (isentropic) process, respectively.
Although formal detinitions of a process refer to systems, the terminclogy is also
applied to open systems, in particular, steady flows in which no properties change
‘with time. We thus define a flow process as follows:
A flow process occurs whenever the state of the fluid entering an open system is
different from the state of the fluid exiting the open system.

Injected and burned: the combustion products expand and exhaust into the surround-
ings. Various flow processes underlie the operation of myriad practical devices, many
‘of which we will study in subsequent chapters.
1.5d Cycles
In many energy-conversion devices, the working fluid undergoes a thermodynamic
eyele. Since the word ele is used in many ways, we need a precise definition for our
study of thermal-(luid sciences. Our definition is the following:
A thermodynamic cycle consists of a sequence of processes in which the
working Muid returns to its original thermodynamic state.
‘An example of a cycle applied to a closed (fixed-mass) system Is presented in Fig. 1.26.
Here a gas trapped in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes four processes. A cycle
can be repeated any number of times, following the same sequence of processes.
Although it is tempting to consider reciprocating internal combustion engines as
‘operating in a cycle, the products of combustion never undergo transformation back
to fuel and air, as would be required for our definition of a cycle. There exist,
however, types of reciprocating engines that do operate on thermodynamic cycles.
A prime example of this is the Stitling engine [5]. The working fluid in Stirling
‘engines Js typically hydrogen or bellum. All combustion takes place outside the
cylinder, Figure 1.27 shows a model Stirling engine.
‘Thermodynamic cycles are most frequently executed by a series of flow processes,
as illustrated in Fig. 1.28. AS the working fluid flows through the loop. it experiences
many changes in state as it passes through various devices such as pumps, boilers, and
heat exchangers, but ultimately it returns to I state, arbitrarily chosen here to

operates on a thermodynamic cycle of the type illustrated in Fig. 1.28 (ef. Fig. 1.5)
Refrigerators and air conditioners are everyday examples of devices operating on
thermodynamic cycles. In Chapter 9, we analyze various cycles for power production,
propulsion, and heating and cooling
‘The thermodynamic cycle is central to many statements of the second law of
thermodynamics and concepts of thermal efficiency (Chapter 6)
1.5¢ Equil
‘The science of thermodynamics builds upon the concept of equilibrium states, For
example, the common thermodynamic property temperature has meaning only for a
system in equilibrium. In a thermodynamic sense, then, what do we mean when we
say that a system is in equilibrium? In general, that no unbalanced potentials or
jum and the Quasi-Equilibrium Process
drivers exist to promote a change of state. The state of a system in equilibrium
‘remains unchanged for all time. For a system to be in equilibrium, we require that
the system be simultancously in thermal equilibrium, mechanical equilibrium, phase
equilibrium, and chemical equilibrium. Other considerations may exist, but they are
beyond our scope. We now consider each of these components of thermodynamic
equilibrium,
‘Thermal equilibrium exists when a system both has a uniform temperature andl is
at the same temperature as its surroundings. If, for example, the surroundings are
hotter than the system under consideration, energy may flow across the system
boundary from the surroundings to the system. Such an exchange would result in
fan increase in the temperature of the system. Equilibrium thus does not prevail,
Similarly, if temperature gradients exist with
become cooler, and the initially cooler regions become hotter, as time passes (Pig, 1.29
top). Given sufficient time, the temperature within the system becomes uniform,
provided the ultimate temperature of the system is identical to that of the surround
ings (Fig. 1.29 bottom). Prior to achieving the final uniform temperature. the system is
not in thermal equilibrium.

m and there are no unbalanced forces at the system boundaries. An exception
1 equilibrium occurs when the pressure throughout the system is
to the condition of uniform pressure exists when a system is under the influence of a
gravitational field. For example, pressure increases with depth in a fiuid such that
pressure forces balance the weight of the fluid above. In many systems, however. we
can neglect the effects of gravity and the assumption of uniform pressure is
reasonable
Phase equilibrium relates to conditions in which a substance can exist in more
than one physical state; that is, any combination of vapor, liquid, and solid. For
example, you are quite familiar with the three states of HO: water vapor (steam),
liquid water, and Ice (Fig. 1.30). Phase equilibrium requires that the amount of a
substance in any one phase does not change with time; for example, liquid-vapor
phase equilibrium implies that the rate at which molecules escape the liquid phase
to enter the gas phase is exactly balanced by the rate at which molecules from the
gas phase enter the liquid phase, We will discuss these ideas further in Chapters 2
and 13,
Our final condition for thermodynamic equilibrium requires the system to be in
chemical equilibrium. For systems incapable of chemical reaction, this condition is
trivial; however, for reacting systems this constraint is quite important. Chapter 11 is
devoted to this topic
Prom the foregoing discussion, we see that an equilibrium state is a boring
proposition. Nothing happens. The system just sits there. Nevertheless, considering
4 system to be in an equilibrium state at the beginning and at the end of a process is
indeed useful, In fact, \tis this idea that motivates our discussion, Our development of
the conservation of energy principle relies on the assumption that equilibrium statesT

exist at the beginning and end of a process. even though during the process the
‘system may be far from equilibrium.
‘This discussion suggests that it is not possible to describe the details of a process
because of departures from equilibrium. In some sense, this is indeed true, However.
the often-invoked assumption of 2 quasi-static or quasi-eq)
rium process does
‘Permit an idealized description of a process as it occurs, We define a quasi-st
{quasi-equilibrium process to be a process that happens sufficiently slowly such that
departures from thermodynamic equilibrium are always so small that they can be
neglected. For example, the compression of a gas in 2 perfectly insulated piston
cylinder system (Fig. 1.31) results in the simulianeous increase in temperature and
pressure ofthe gas Ifthe compression is performed slowly, the pressure and tempera-
ture at each instant will be uniform throughout the gas system for all intents and
purposes [Le Pe) = Pt] and the system can be considered to be in an equilibrium
state. In contrast, ifthe piston moves rapidly, the pressure in the gas atthe piston
face (Py) would be greater than at the far end of the cylinder (Py) and equilibrium

the time for a system to reach equilibrium after some change is small compared to
‘the time scale ofthe process. For our example ofthe gas compressed by the piston, the
‘ime forthe pressure to equilibrate is determined by the speed of sound, that is, the
‘Propagation speed of a pressure disturbance. For room-temperature air, the sound
speed is approximately 340 m/s. If we assume that ata particular instant the piston
is 100 mm (=F) from the closed end of the eylinder, the change in the pressure
due to the piston motion will be communicated to the closed end in a time equal to
2.9 « 10s [= (0.100 mij(340 mys) or 0.29 ms. If during 0.29 ms the piston moves very
lite (Aw), the pressure can be assumed to be uniform throughout the system for all
practical purposes, and the compression can be considered as a quasi-cquilibrium
process. Alternatively, we can say that the speed of the pressure waves that communi
cate changes in pressure Is much faster than the speed of the piston that creates the
‘increasing pressure.” Similar arguments involving time scales can be used to ascertain
whether thermal and chemical equilibrium are approximated for any real processes.

quilibrium process might be assumed, but rather to acquaint the reader with this
commonly invoked assumption, Later in the book, we use the quasi-equlibrium

1.6 Dimensions and Units
‘The primary dimensions (or base units) used in this book are mass, length, time,
temperature, electric current, and omunt of substance. All other dimensions, such as
force, energy, and power, are derived from these primary dimensions [°]. Furthermore,
‘we employ almost exclusively the International System of Units, or le Systéme Inter
‘national (51) d'Unités. The primary dimensions thus have the following associated units:
‘Mass [=] kilogram (kg),

Unfortunately, a wide variety of non-SI units are used customarily in the United States,
many of which are industry specific. You can find conversion factors from SI units to the
‘most common non-SI units on the inside covers of this book. We refer to certain nor SI
units in several examples to provide some familiarity with these important noa-SL units. To

1.7 Problem-Solving Method
For you to consistently solve engineering problems successfully (both textbook and
real problems) depends on your developing a procedure that (9) aids thought
rocesses, (i) facilitates identification of errors along the way, (ii) allows others to
‘easily check your work, and (iv) provides a reality check at completion. The
following general procedure has these attributes. We recommend that you follow
this procedure for most problems. Nearly all the examples throughout the text
lustrate its use,
1. KNOWN. State what is known in simple manner without rewriting the
problem statement.
FIND. Indicate what quantities you want to find.
3, SKETCH. Draw and label useful sketches whenever possible. (What is useful
sgenctally depends on the context of the problem. Suggestions are provided at
appropriate locations in the text.)
4. MODELING PREMISES AND ASSUMPTIONS. List the modeling premises
associated with your analysis; list your initial assumptions and add others 10
the list as you proceed with your solution.SUMMARY
SUMMARY 25
5. ANALYSIS. Analyze the problem and identify the important definitions and
principles that apply to your solution.
6 SOLUTION. Develop a symbolic or algebraic solution to your problem. delaying
the substitution of numerical values 2s late as possible in the process,
7. Substitute numerical values 28 appropriate and indicate the source of all
physical data as you proceed. (The appendices of this book contain much useful
data)
8 Check the units associated with each calculation. The factor-label method is an
efficient way to do this,
9, Examine your answer critically. Does it appear to be reasonable and consistent
‘with your expectations andjor experience?
10. COMMENT(S). Write out one or more comments using step 9 ay your
guide, What did you learn from solving the problem? Were your assumptions
justified?
1.8 Mathematical Skills to Review
‘The mathematics required for 4 first course in thermodynamics is quite simple: basic
algebra and calculus suffice, The authors have found that some students will benefit
from a review of the following three topics:
+ Linear interpolation of tabular data ~a skill needed to deal with property tables in a
proficient manner;
+ Differentiation of simple polynomials — a skill needed to calculate thermodynamic
properties given a curve-fit or other polynomial representation;
+ Integration of simple polynomials ~a skill needed to calculate reversible, moving
boundary, or steady-flow work and to calculate certain thermodynamic properties
‘given a curve-fit or ather polynomial representation.
A review of linear interpolation is provided in the Chapter 2 Tutorial 1 ~ How to
Interpolaie on page 76. You may wish to read this tutorial now and work some of the
cend-of-chapter problems (Chapter 1) dedicated to interpolation to hone your skill,
