Module 5
The First Law for Open Systems
1
Control Volume and Flow Rates in Open Systems
Explain the concepts of control volume, mass flow rate, and volume flow rate for open systems.
2
Understanding Flow Work and Energy Transport
Define flow work and explain its role in transporting energy across control volume boundaries.
3
Enthalpy: The Energy of Flowing Fluids
Define enthalpy (H = U + PV) and explain its utility as the total energy of a flowing fluid.
4
Deriving the Steady-Flow Energy Equation (SFEE)
Derive the general steady-flow energy equation (SFEE) by applying mass and energy conservation to a control volume.
5
Applying SFEE to Common Engineering Devices
Simplify the SFEE to analyze common engineering devices like nozzles, diffusers, turbines, and compressors.
6
Analyzing Throttling Devices and Heat Exchangers with the SFEE
Apply the SFEE to analyze throttling devices and heat exchangers.
