Conservation of Energy
First Law of Thermodynamics
ENGR302I
True or False?





Energy is conserved, only if no friction is
present.
Energy can be converted from one form to
another.
Work can be entirely converted to heat and
vice versa.
An ideal heat engine that works with no
friction is 100% efficient.
Construction of a time machine, although
possible, must wait a very long time.

Temperature Conversion Formula
Following are the temperature conversion
equations for converting degrees centigrade
(C), fahrenheit (F), and kelvin (K).

Consequence of the Second law



Heat cannot, by itself flow from a low to a high
temperature
Work can be completely converted to heat.
But heat cannot be completely converted to
work.

Why work is more valuable than heat?
True or false: Which one is better? An electric
heater or a gas heater?

A very simple heat engine
Heat Engines
A heat engine is any device that uses heat
to perform work.
No real engine can have an efficiency
greater than that of a Carnot engine when
both engines work between the same two
temperatures.

Claims, Lies and bigger lies

An engine manufacturer makes
the following claims: The heat
input of the engine is 9 kW at
375 K. The heat output is 4 kW
at 225 K. Do you believe these
claims?
hactual = 1 - Qc/Qh = 1- 4/9 = 0.56
Hideal = 1 - Tc/Th = 1 - 225/375 = 0.4

Living Organisms

A living organism is an example of a heat engine which transforms
light energy into chemical energy
ENGR302I
Hurricane
A hurricane is an elegant
example of a natural Carnot
heat engine. It draws heat
from the ocean, releases some
of it to the atmosphere via
radiative cooling, and does
work during this process.
ENGR302I

True or false: Heat can never flow from a cold
reservoir to a hot one.
ENGR302I

True or false: A perfect engine produces no thermal
pollution.

According to the second law of
thermodynamics, the higher the boiler
pressure (temperature), and the lower
the condenser temperature, the higher
is the efficiency of the power plant.
