ENERGY
I am teaching Engineering Thermodynamics using the textbook by Cengel and Boles.
A few figures in the slides are taken from that book, and most others are found online.
Similar figures can be found in many places.
I went through these slides in two 90-minute lectures.

Energy
The world has many parts: stars, planets, animals, molecules, electrons, protons...
The parts move relative to one another, and interact with one another.
The motion and interaction carry energy.
Energy is a fundamental concept.
We don’t know how to define energy in more fundamental concepts.
But we do know how to measure and calculate energy.
That is all that matters.

Forms of energy (kinetic energy and potential energy)
Conversion of energy from one form to another form.
Transfer of energy from one part of the system to another part.
Conservation of energy. When kinetic energy and potential energy
convert to each other, their sum is fixed. Really?

Internal energy and molecular motion
Even when a tank of water is stationary at a macroscopic scale,
water molecules undergo rapid and ceaseless motion.

A game-changing idea
The principle of the conservation of energy
A new zero-sum game
•

•
An isolated system has a fixed amount of energy.
What if energy of all known forms is not conserved?
Discover another form of energy to make energy conserve.
But what qualifies as a new form of energy?
Anything that can convert to a known form of energy.
Sounds like a self-fulfilling prophesy. It is.
My view on the principle of the conservation of energy follows, I believe, Feynman.
Read his tale of “Dennis the Menace”. http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_04.html
The Feynman’s Lectures on Physics ought to be required reading for all engineers.

Elastic energy
•
•
•
•
Gradually add weights from different heights to pull the spring.
When the length of the spring is x, the amount of weights to maintain the length of the spring is F(x).
When the length increases by dx the potential energy of the weights reduces by F(x)dx.
The total reduction of the potential energy of the weights is
x
ò F ( x ) dx
•

0
The same amount of energy is added to the spring as elastic energy.
The spring is a lattice of atoms. The elastic energy is stored in the stretched atom bonds.
How do I know? Gradually remove the weights to place them back to the original heights.
(Isolated system) = weights + spring.
(energy of the system) = (potential energy of the weights) + (elastic energy of the spring) = constant

Electromagnetic energy
n w
• n: number of photons
• » 10-34 J × s Planck’s constant
• w frequncy of the electromagnetic wave
18
Surface energy of liquid
• Molecules on surface have different energy from those in the interior.
• When the area of surface increases, more molecules come to the surface.
• The extra energy of the surface is proportional to the area of the surface:
U =ssA
• ss is the surface energy (per unit area).
dU = Fdx
2s sbdx = Fdx
2s sb = F

Energy is an over-rated concept and an

Does the inventor of this toy really get helped by all these words? I don’t think so.
Do these words help us understand how this toy work? Not really.

One experiment, many ways to look at it
Isolated system
Experimental setup
• A fixed number of H2O molecules
• Cylinder
• Frictionless, perfectly sealed piston
• Weights
• Fire
System
• A system can be any part of the world.
• The rest of the world is called the surroundings of the system.
Isolated system
• An isolated system does not interact with the rest of the world.
• No exchange of matter. Seal the cylinder.
• No exchange of energy. Jam the piston. Insulate the cylinder.
• Do whatever necessary to prevent the rest of the world from affecting the
system.
• Here, (isolated system) = (a fixed number of H2O molecules in the cylinder) +
(weights) + (fire).
• Within the isolated system, energy flows from one part of the system (weights
or fire) to another (water).
closed
system
Closed system
• The system exchange energy with its surroundings.
• The system does not exchange matter with its surroundings.
• Here, (closed system) = (a fixed number of H2O molecules in the cylinder).
• Weights transfer energy to the system by work.
25
• Fire transfers energy to the system by heat.
System
thermal system
(thermal system) = (fixed amount of water) + (fixed set of weights)
• (Internal energy of the thermal system) = (internal energy of water) +
(potential energy of weights)
• H = U + PV.
• H is call the enthalpy of water.
(adiabatic system) = water + fire
• The system exchange energy with its surroundings.
• The system does not exchange matter with its surroundings.
• Here, (closed system) = (a fixed number of H2O molecules in the
cylinder).
• Weights transfer energy to the system by work.
• Fire transfers energy to the system by heat.

From isolated system to closed system
(Isolated system) = (weights) + (ideal spring)
(closed system) =( ideal spring)
• Force acting on the spring by the weights: F(x).
• work done to the spring by the weights: F(x)dx.
• Change in the elastic energy of the spring: dU = F(x)dx.

Transfer energy to a closed system
in two ways
(closed system) = (fixed number of water molecules)
thermal contact
transfer energy by heat
adiabatic contact
transfer energy by work
• The two ways cause the same change in state.
• Internal energy is a property of the closed system.
• Work and heat are not properties of the closed system.
31
Mechanisms of
transferring energy by work
•
•
•
Force-displacement, Fdx
Pressure-volume, PdV.
Voltage-charge, VdQ.
32
Mechanisms of
transferring energy by heat
•
•
•
Conduction. Energy flows via waves of atomic vibration. Matter does not flow
Convection. Matter flows, energy flows with it.
Radiation. Light, electromagnetic wave. With or without matter.
33
34
The first law of thermodynamics
• For all adiabatic processes between two states of a
closed system, the net work done is the same
regardless of the nature of the closed system and the
details of the process.
• Determine the change in internal energy by adiabatic
process, DU = W.
• For a closed system, in general DU is not equal to W.
• The difference defines heat, DU = W + Q.
35
Pure substance
Thermodynamic states of the system
• Add a little heat and add a little weight to the closed system
• Isolate the system.
• The system isolated for a long time approaches a
thermodynamic state of equilibrium.
• The states of the system has two independent variations.
Thermodynamic properties (variables) of the system
• A property is a function of state.
• Intensive properties: temperature, pressure.
• Extensive properties, volume, energy, enthalpy.
Equations of state
• Use two properties as independent variables to specify (i.e.,
name) all states. TV
• Once the values of the two properties are fixed, a state of
the system is fixed.
• Any other property is a function of the two properties. P(T,V)
