Turbines and
Compressors Turbine drives the electric generator In
steam, gas, or hydroelectric power plants.
As the fluid passes through the turbine,
work is done against the blades, which are
attached to the shaft. As a result, the shaft
rotates, and the turbine produces work.
Compressors, as well as pumps and
fans, are devices used to increase the
pressure of a fluid. Work is supplied to
these devices from an external source
through a rotating shaft.
A fan increases the pressure of a gas
slightly and is mainly used to mobilize a
gas.
A compressor is capable of compressing
the gas to very high pressures.
Pumps work very much like compressors
except that they handle liquids instead of
gases.

Throttling Throttling valves are any kind of flow-restricting devices that
cause a significant pressure drop in the fluid.
valves What is the difference between a turbine and a throttling
valve?
The pressure drop in the fluid is often accompanied by a large
drop in temperature, and for that reason throttling devices are
commonly used in refrigeration and air-conditioning applications.

Mixing chambers
In engineering applications, the
section where the mixing process
takes place is commonly referred to as
a mixing chamber.
The mixing chamber does not have to
be a distinct “chamber.” An ordinary T-
elbow or a Y-elbow in a shower, for
example, serves as the mixing
chamber for the cold- and hot-water
streams.
The conservation of mass principle for
a mixing chamber requires that the
sum of the incoming mass flow rates
equal the mass flow rate of the
outgoing mixture.
The conservation of energy equation
is analogous to the conservation of
mass equation.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND LAW
These processes
cannot occur even
though they are not in
violation of the first law. 22
MAJOR USES OF THE
SECOND LAW
1. The second law may be used to identify
the direction of processes.
2. The second law also asserts that energy
has quality as well as quantity. The first
law is concerned with the quantity of
energy and the transformations of
energy from one form to another with no
regard to its quality. The second law
provides the necessary means to
determine the quality as well as the
degree of degradation of energy during
a process.
3. The second law of thermodynamics is
also used in determining the theoretical
limits for the performance of commonly
used engineering systems, such as heat
engines and refrigerators, as well as
predicting the degree of completion of
chemical reactions.

the condenser is the
device where large

rejected to rivers, lakes,

Can we not just take the
condenser out of the

The Second Law of
Thermodynamics:
Kelvin–Planck Statement
It is impossible for any device
that operates on a cycle to
receive heat from a single
reservoir and produce a net
amount of work.
34
• Most heat pumps in operation today have a
seasonally averaged COP of 2 to 3.
• Most existing heat pumps use the cold outside air as
the heat source in winter (air-source HP).
• In cold climates their efficiency drops considerably
when temperatures are below the freezing point.
• In such cases, geothermal (ground-source) HP that
use the ground as the heat source can be used.
• Such heat pumps are more expensive to install, but
they are also more efficient.
• Air conditioners are basically refrigerators whose
refrigerated space is a room or a building instead of
the food compartment.
• The COP of a refrigerator decreases with decreasing
refrigeration temperature.
• Therefore, it is not economical to refrigerate to a
lower temperature than needed.

Equivalence
of the Two
Statements
Perpetual-motion machine: Any device that violates the first or the second law.
A device that violates the first law (by creating energy) is called a PMM1.
A device that violates the second law is called a PMM2. 38
Despite numerous attempts, no perpetual-motion machine
is known to have worked.
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 39
REVERSIBLE AND IRREVERSIBLE PROCESSES
Reversible process: A process that can be reversed without leaving any trace
on the surroundings.
Irreversible process: A process that is not reversible.
• All the processes occurring in nature are irreversible.
• Why are we interested in reversible processes?
• (1) they are easy to analyze and (2) they serve as
idealized models (theoretical limits) to which actual
processes can be compared.
• Some processes are more irreversible than others.
• We try to approximate reversible processes. Why?

processes. 41
Internally and Externally Reversible Processes
• Internally reversible process: If no irreversibilities occur within the boundaries of
the system during the process.
• Externally reversible: If no irreversibilities occur outside the system boundaries.
• Totally reversible process: It involves no irreversibilities within the system or its
surroundings.
• A totally reversible process involves no heat transfer through a finite temperature
difference, no nonquasi-equilibrium changes, and no friction or other dissipative
effects.
42
THE CARNOT CYCLE
1. The efficiency of an
irreversible heat engine is
always less than the efficiency
of a reversible one operating
between the same two
reservoirs.
2. The efficiencies of all
reversible heat engines
operating between the same
two reservoirs are the same.

THE THERMODYNAMIC
TEMPERATURE SCALE
A temperature scale that is
independent of the properties of
the substances that are used to
measure temperature is called a
thermodynamic temperature
scale.
Such a temperature scale offers
great conveniences in
thermodynamic calculations.
48
This temperature scale is
called the Kelvin scale,
and the temperatures on
this scale are called
absolute temperatures.

EXERGY: WORK POTENTIAL OF ENERGY
The useful work potential of a
given amount of energy at some
specified state is called exergy,
which is also called the availability
or available energy.
99
A system delivers the maximum possible work as it undergoes a reversible process
from the specified initial state to the state of its environment, that is, the dead state.
This represents the useful work potential of the system at the specified state and is
called exergy.
Exergy represents the upper limit on the amount of work a device can deliver without
violating any thermodynamic laws.

REVERSIBLE WORK AND IRREVERSIBILITY
Reversible work Wrev: The maximum amount of
useful work that can be produced (or the
minimum work that needs to be supplied) as a
system undergoes a process between the
specified initial and final states.
As a closed
system expands,
some work needs
to be done to push

systems, the total

works are identical

EXERGY BALANCE: CONTROL VOLUMES
126
Exergy Balance for Steady-Flow Systems
Most control volumes encountered in practice such as turbines, compressors, nozzles,
diffusers, heat exchangers, pipes, and ducts operate steadily, and thus they experience
no changes in their mass, energy, entropy, and exergy contents as well as their volumes.
Therefore, dVCV/dt = 0 and dXCV/dt = 0 for such systems.
127
Reversible Work
The exergy balance relations presented above can be used to
determine the reversible work Wrev by setting the exergy destroyed
equal to zero. The work W in that case becomes the reversible work.
128
Second-Law Efficiency of Steady-Flow Devices
The second-law efficiency of various steady-flow devices can be determined from its
general definition, II = (Exergy recovered)/(Exergy expended). When the changes in
kinetic and potential energies are negligible and the devices are adiabatic:
