Resources for our learning • Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics, Moran, Shapiro, Boettner and Bailey, Seventh Edition. • Read assigned sections before coming to class. • Group class email will be used frequently to communicate. Also use http://www.purdue.edu/mixable • Class participation welcome and essential. • Given the size of the class, smaller groups of ~10 students to be formed soon. Special opportunities offered to individual ME200 Peer Mentor to lead a group. • Other Instructors, T. A. s, Classmates, Organized Learning Groups such as www.purdue.edu/si • Homework: Submission, grading, and return policies will be announced in the class.
Mass, Specific Volume ( ), Density (r) • Matter is made up of “small,” and “homogeneous,” continuadistributed throughout “space.” Homogeneous refers to our choice of defining averaged properties. • When substances are treated as continua, it is possible to speak of their intensive thermodynamic properties “at a point.” • At any instant the density (r ) at a point is defined as (see text book equations 1.6 and 1.7)
Molar Specific Volume ( ), Number of mol (n) • Avogadro’s Number represents the number of molecules in mass containing one “gram mole” or “mole” or “mol.” • Av=6.022x1023 #/gram mole. A “kmol,” will have 103 times more # Molecular/atomic weights M for substances generally of interest in thermodynamics are in Table A-1: C = 12.01 kg/kmol, O2=32.00 kg/kmol, N2=28.01 kg/kmol. Air is a mixture 1 kmol O2 and 3.76 kmol N2 plus small amounts of CO2, Ar, H2O etc. Equivalent Molecular Weight of air is given as 28.97 kg/kmol in Table A-1, p. 890 of text.
Pressure (p) • Pressure within gases is force per unit area resulting from molecular collisions with a container wall and amongst molecules within a gas. • Visualize pressure within liquids and solids as a force exerted by neighboring particles and bonds The pressure (p) at the specified point is defined as the limit:
Pressure Units, Absolute and Gauge Pressure • SI unit of pressure is the pascal: 1 pascal = 1 N/m2 • Multiples of the pascal are frequently used: • 1 kPa = 103 N/m2,1 bar = 105 N/m2,1 MPa = 106 N/m2 • English units for pressure are: • pounds force per square foot, lbf/ft2 or pounds force per square inch “psi”, lbf/in2 • When system pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure, the term gage pressure is used. p(gage) = p(absolute) – patm(absolute) (Eq. 1.14) • When atmospheric pressure is greater than system pressure, the term vacuumpressure is used. p(vacuum) = patm(absolute) – p(absolute) (Eq. 1.15)
Hydrostatic Pressure • The pressure throughout an uninterrupted fluid is constant at a fixed depth. Think about the difference in pressure between points H and I, while we discuss the expressions for hydrostatic pressures.
Pressure Measurement • We can make use of the change in pressure with elevation in a fluid to measure pressure. • Examples of devices used to measure pressure are: • manometer • barometer p=patm g

Temperature (T) • If two substances (one warmer than the other) are brought into contact and isolated from their surroundings, they interactthermally with changes in observable properties. • When changes in observable properties cease, the two substances are in thermal equilibrium. • Temperature is a physical property that determines whether the two substances are in thermal equilibrium. • A thermometer is used to measure temperature using a change in a thermometricproperty of a thermometricsubstance.
Thermometers for Temperature Measurements • Liquid-in-glass thermometer • A glass capillary tube connected to a bulb filled with liquid and sealed. Space above liquid occupied by vapor or an inert gas. • As temperature increases, liquid expands and the length (L) of the liquid in the capillary indicates the temperature. • The liquid is the thermometric substance. L is the thermometric property. • Other types of thermometers: Thermocouples, Thermistors, Radiation thermometers and optical pyrometers
Temperature Scales ΔTºR = ΔTºF= 1.8 x (ΔTK = ΔTºC) USE ABSOLUTE TEMPERATURES IN ALL YOUR PROBLEM SOLUTIONS. T(oC) = T(K) – 273.15(Eq. 1.17) T(oF) = T(oR) – 459.67(Eq. 1.18)
oC and oF Relationship (100, 212) oF (-17.7, 0) (0, 32) oC (-273, -460) T(oC) = T(K) – 273.15(Eq. 1.17) ΔTºR = ΔTºF= 1.8 x (ΔTK = ΔTºC) USE ABSOLUTE TEMPERATURES IN YOUR PROBLEM SOLUTIONS BECAUSE THE DIFFERENCES ARE IDENTICAL AND SOME FORMULAE LIKE THE IDEAL GAS LAW REQUIRE TEMPERATURE IN ABSOLUTE UNITS. T(oF) = T(oR) – 459.67(Eq. 1.18)
Temperatures of Interest • Some temperatures and ranges of interest • 0 K is the absolute lower limit of a temperature scale • Ice temperature is 273 K • Boiling point of water at atmospheric pressure is 373 K • Healthy human body temperature ~ 309 K • High fever human body temperature ~ 313 K • Hydrocarbon “yellow flame” temperature 1400 K – 1800 K • Hydrocarbon “blue flame” temperature 1900 K – 2400 K • Effective solar temperature is considered to be 5500K • Absolute upper limit of temperature is not defined yet but engineering higher than flame temperature materials is challenging. Materials with porous cooling walls may be used.
Problem Solving Techniques • A fairly straightforward problem: • The system is easy to define (only one type). • There are few basic equations.
Exhaust Plume Thermodynamics problems are more complicated Fuel Coal/Oil/Natural Gas • For example, consider a small portion of a coal/oil/natural gas burning power plant. • Many interconnected working substances such as fuels, air, exhaust, and ash. • Many interconnected systems and control volumes • Additional working substances such as liquid water becoming saturated water, saturated steam, superheated steam etc. Ash Air Exhaust Steam Feed Water
Problem Solving Techniques • Important steps to solve any problem in a systematic manner. • Find: What quantities are of customer interest? Usually dictates the definition of the System. • System: Control mass/control volume choice indicates what mass flow and energy interactions exist. • Basic Equations: Which equations are required to determine quantities of interest (related to Find) • Given: What quantities are known? • Assumptions: Do the number of unknowns and available equations match? Otherwise, you need appropriate simplifications and assumptions. • Solution: Evaluate properties, employ correct units, perform calculation, discuss result(s) if necessary.
Summary • We defined temperature, different scales of specifying temperature and their inter-relations. • We summarized temperatures of engineering interest. • We identified the reasons behind the complexity of thermodynamics problems and defined a methodology for solutions. • We are ready to do some example problems in class.
