Thermodynamic Systems, States and Processes

Objectives are to:• define thermodynamics systems and states of systems• explain how processes affect such systems• apply the above thermodynamic terms and ideas to the laws of

thermodynamics

A pressurized gas bottle (V = 0.05 m3), contains helium gas (an ideal monatomic gas) at a pressure p = 1×107 Pa and temperature T = 300 K. What is the internal thermal energy of this gas?

Changing the Internal Energy

U is a “state” function --- depends uniquely on the state of the system in terms of p, V, T etc.

(e.g. For a classical ideal gas, U = )

WORK done by the system on the environment

Thermal reservoir

HEAT is the transfer of thermal energy into the system from the surroundings

There are two ways to change the internal energy of a system:

Work and Heat are process energies, not state functions.

Work is the area underthe curve of a PV-diagram.

Work depends on the pathtaken in “PV space.”

The precise path serves to describe the kind of process that took place.

Page 11: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Different Thermodynamic Paths

The work done depends on the initial and finalstates and the path taken between these states.

Page 12: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Work done by a Gas

Note that the amount of work needed to take the system from one state to another is not unique! It depends on the path taken.

We generally assume quasi-static processes (slow enough that p and T are well defined at all times):

When a gas expands, it does work on its environment

Page 13: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

What is Heat?

Q is not a “state” function --- the heat depends on the process, not just on the initial and final states of the system

Sign of Q : Q > 0 system gains thermal energyQ < 0 system loses thermal energy

Up to mid-1800’s heat was considered a substance -- a “caloric fluid” that could be stored in an object and transferred between objects. After 1850, kinetic theory.

A more recent and still common misconception is that heat is the quantity of thermal energy in an object.

The term Heat (Q) is properly used to describe energy in transit, thermal energy transferred into or out of a system from a thermal reservoir …

(like cash transfers into and out of your bank account)

Q U

Page 14: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

An Extraordinary Fact

The work done depends on the initial and finalstates and the path taken between these states.

BUT, the quantity Q - W does not dependon the path taken; it depends only on the initial and final states.

Only Q - W has this property. Q, W, Q + W,Q - 2W, etc. do not.

So we give Q - W a name: the internal energy.

Components

• Refrigerant • Evaporator/Chiller • Compressor• Condenser• Receiver• Thermostatic

expansion valve (TXV)

Page 91: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Refrigerant• Desirable properties:

– High latent heat of vaporization - max cooling– Non-toxicity (no health hazard)– Desirable saturation temp (for operating pressure)– Chemical stability (non-flammable/non-explosive)– Ease of leak detection– Low cost– Readily available

• Commonly use FREON (R-12, R-114, etc.)

Page 92: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Evaporator/Chiller

• Located in space to be refrigerated

• Cooling coil acts as an indirect heat exchanger

• Absorbs heat from surroundings and vaporizes– Latent Heat of Vaporization– Sensible Heat of surroundings

• Slightly superheated (10°F) - ensures no liquid carryover into compressor

Page 93: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I
Page 94: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Compressor

• Superheated Vapor:– Enters as low press, low temp vapor– Exits as high press, high temp vapor

• Temp: creates differential (T) promotes heat transfer

• Press: Tsat allows for condensation at warmer temps

• Increase in energy provides the driving force to circulate refrigerant through the system

Page 95: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Condenser

• Refrigerant rejects latent heat to cooling medium

• Latent heat of condensation (LHC)

• Indirect heat exchanger: seawater absorbs the heat and discharges it overboard

Page 96: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Receiver

• Temporary storage space & surge volume for the sub-cooled refrigerant

• Serves as a vapor seal to prevent vapor from entering the expansion valve

Page 97: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Expansion Device

• Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)

• Liquid Freon enters the expansion valve at high pressure and leaves as a low pressure wet vapor (vapor forms as refrigerant enters saturation region)

• Controls:– Pressure reduction– Amount of refrigerant entering evaporator

controls capacity

Page 98: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I
Page 99: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Air Conditioning

• Purpose: maintain the atmosphere of an enclosed space at a required temp, humidity and purity

• Refrigeration system is at heart of AC system

• Heaters in ventilation system

• Types Used:• Self-contained• Refrigerant circulating• Chill water circulating

Page 100: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

AC System Types

• Self-Contained System– Add-on to ships that originally did not have AC

plants– Not located in ventilation system (window unit)

• Refrigerant circulating system– Hot air passed over refrigerant cooling coils

directly

• Chilled water circulating system– Refrigerant cools chill water– Hot air passes over chill water cooling coils

Page 101: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Basic AC System

Page 102: AE 630 Aero Engineering Thermodynamics. Unit - I

Safety Precautions

• Phosgene gas hazard– Lethal – Created when refrigerant is exposed to high

temperatures

• Handling procedures– Wear goggles and gloves to avoid eye irritation and

frostbite

• Asphyxiation hazard in non-ventilated spaces (bilges since heavier than air)

• Handling of compressed gas bottles
