ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 presents the core concepts related to control volume analysis and distinguishes between steady-state and unsteady (transient) analysis, including first law application to open systems or control volumes, which involve energy as well as mass transfer across its boundary. It covers the development of a steady-flow energy equation using mass conservation and energy conservation principles. It includes first law analysis of steady-flow processes, steady-flow energy equation needs, steady-flow devices such as turbines, compressors, nozzles, diffusers, throttling valves, and heat exchangers. For each of the cases considered as steady-flow devices, steady-flow energy equation derivations are presented. It also presents the first law analysis of unsteady-flow processes.
