Energy Balance on a Closed System
In this lesson, we will incorporate the effects of mass flow across the system boundaries on the
energy balance equation
.
In chapter 4, we applied the
1st Law
to closed systems.Change in U, EK,EP
and other forms of energy
and other forms of energy
Net energy transfer by heat and work
In chapter 4, we discussed how heat and work interactions fit into the
1st Law
orenergy balance equation
for a closed system.In this chapter, we need to discover how mass flow across the system boundary can be incorporated in the 1st Law or energy balance equation.
