Inches Hg vs. PSIA- Relationships
• Sum of inches Hg and inches Absolute equal 30
− 30 in Hg vacuum = 0 in absolute
− 28 in Hg vacuum = 2 in absolute
• Sum of PSIA and PSIV equals 15
− 15 psia = 0 psiv
− 1 psia = 14 psiv
• 2 inches for every pound
− 15 psia = 30 inches absolute
− 14 psiv = 28 in Hg vacuum
• Based on above:

PSI to Water Height Example (cont.)
• Recall the unit conversion from psi to ft of water
– 0.433 psi = 1 ft H2O
o Therefore, 1 psi = 2.3 ft H2O (1/0.433 = 2.3)
• Where does this come from?
– Unit conversion from previous equation
• Note: Since density vs temperature curve is relatively straight at low
temps
– Density at standard temp/press of 62.4 can be used
• Only unit conversion required was

Work, Energy, and Power
ELO 2.3 – Explain the relationship between work, energy, and power.
• Nuclear power plants transfer
thermal energy produced in nuclear
fuel into mechanical work of the
turbine-generator, and then
electrical energy
• Work is the applied force to move a
mass, multiplied by distance that
mass was moved; power is rate of
doing work (work done per unit time)
• Each term is related and must be
understood to solve thermodynamic

• Flow is work required to maintain continuous steady movement of
fluid in a system
− Also force through a distance
• Flow work equivalent to force acting through a distance (such as
length) to maintain the flow
• 𝑊𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤 = 𝐹𝐷
• Since 𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒 = 𝑃𝐴 (𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 × 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎), 𝑊𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤 = 𝑃𝐴𝐿
• Since 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 = 𝐴𝐿 (𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎 × 𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ), 𝑊𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤 = 𝑃𝑉

Work, Energy, and Power
• In dealing with work in relation to energy transfer systems, it is
important to distinguish between work done by the system on its
surroundings and work done on the system by its surroundings
– Work is done BY the system when used to turn a turbine and
thereby generate electricity in a turbine-generator (+ Work)
– Work is done ON the system when a pump is used to move
working fluid from one location to another (– Work)

Properties of Heat
• Amount of heat transferred depends upon path
• Important to distinguish between heat added to a system from its
surroundings and heat removed from a system to its surroundings
– Positive value for heat indicates heat is added to system by its
surroundings (+Q)
o Steam Generator
– Negative value for heat indicates heat is removed from system
by its surroundings (-Q)
o Condenser
– Contrast with work - positive when energy is transferred from the
system and negative when transferred to the system
