3.1 Some Properties of Engineering Cycles; Work and Efficiency

As preparation for our discussion of cycles (and as a foreshadowing of the second law), we examine two types of processes that concern interactions between heat and work. The first of these represents the conversion of work into heat. The second, which is much more useful, concerns the conversion of heat into work. The question we will pose is how efficient can this conversion be in the two cases.

Figure 3.1: Examples of the conversion of work into heat
Image fig1WorkIntoHeat_web

Three examples of the first process are given in Figure 3.1. The first is the pulling of a block on a rough horizontal surface by a force which moves through some distance. Friction resists the pulling. After the force has moved through the distance, it is removed. The block then has no kinetic energy and the same potential energy it had when the force started to act. If we measured the temperature of the block and the surface we would find that it was higher than when we started. (High temperatures can be reached if the velocities of pulling are high; this is the basis of inertia welding.) The work done to move the block has been converted totally to heat.

The second example concerns the stirring of a viscous liquid. There is work associated with the torque exerted on the shaft turning through an angle. When the stirring stops, the fluid comes to rest and there is (again) no change in kinetic or potential energy from the initial state. The fluid and the paddle wheels will be found to be hotter than when we started, however.

The final example is the passage of a current through a resistance. This is a case of electrical work being converted to heat, indeed it models operation of an electrical heater.

All the examples in Figure 3.1 have 100% conversion of work into heat. This 100% conversion could go on without limit as long as work were supplied. Is this true for the conversion of heat into work?

To answer the last question, we need to have some basis for judging whether work is done in a given process. One way to do this is to ask whether we can construct a way that the process could result in the raising of a weight in a gravitational field. If so, we can say ``Work has been done.'' It may sometimes be difficult to make the link between a complicated thermodynamic process and the simple raising of a weight, but this is a rigorous test for the existence of work.

One example of a process in which heat is converted to work is the isothermal (constant temperature) expansion of an ideal gas, as sketched in Figure 3.2. The system is the gas inside the chamber. As the gas expands, the piston does work on some external device. For an ideal gas, the internal energy is a function of temperature only, so that if the temperature is constant for some process the internal energy change is zero. To keep the temperature constant during the expansion, heat must be supplied. Because $ \Delta U = 0,$ the first law takes the form $ Q=W$ . This is a process that has 100% conversion of heat into work.

Figure 3.2: Isothermal expansion
Image fig1IsothermalExpansion_web

The work exerted by the system is given by

$\displaystyle \textrm{Work} =\int_1^2 PdV$

where 1 and 2 denote the two states at the beginning and end of the process. The equation of state for an ideal gas is

$\displaystyle P = N\mathcal{R}T/V,$

with $ N$ the number of moles of the gas contained in the chamber. Using the equation of state, the expression for work can be written as

$\displaystyle \textrm{Work during an isothermal expansion }= N\mathcal{R}T \int_1^2 dV/V = N\mathcal{R}T \ln\left(\frac{V_2}{V_1}\right).$ (3..1)

For an isothermal process, $ PV = \textrm{constant}$ , so that $ {P_1}/{P_2} = {V_2}/{V_1}$ . The work can be written in terms of the pressures at the beginning and end as

$\displaystyle \textrm{Work during an isothermal expansion }= N\mathcal{R}T \ln\left(\frac{P_1}{P_2}\right).$ (3..2)

The lowest pressure to which we can expand and still receive work from the system is atmospheric pressure. Below this, we would have to do work on the system to pull the piston out further. There is thus a bound on the amount of work that can be obtained in the isothermal expansion; we cannot continue indefinitely. For a power or propulsion system, however, we would like a source of continuous power, in other words a device that would give power or propulsion as long as fuel was added to it. To do this, we need a series of processes where the system does not progress through a one-way transition from an initial state to a different final state, but rather cycles back to the initial state. What is looked for is in fact a thermodynamic cycle for the system.

We define several quantities for a cycle:

  • $ Q_A$ is the heat absorbed by the system.
  • $ Q_R$ is the heat rejected by the system.
  • $ W$ is the net work done by the system.

The cycle returns to its initial state, so the overall energy change, $ \Delta U$ , is zero. The net work done by the system is related to the magnitudes of the heat absorbed and the heat rejected by

$\displaystyle W = \textrm{Net work} = Q_A -Q_R.$

The thermal efficiency of the cycle is the ratio of the work done to the heat absorbed. (Efficiencies are often usefully portrayed as ``What you get'' versus ``What you pay for.'' Here what we get is work and what we pay for is heat, or rather the fuel that generates the heat.) In terms of the heat absorbed and rejected, the thermal efficiency is

$\displaystyle \eta = \textrm{thermal efficiency} = \frac{\textrm{Work done}}{\textrm{Heat absorbed}} =\frac{Q_A-Q_R}{Q_A}=1-\frac{Q_R}{Q_A}.$ (3..3)

The thermal efficiency can only be 100% (complete conversion of heat into work) if $ Q_R=0$ ; a basic question is what is the maximum thermal efficiency for any arbitrary cycle? We examine this for several cases, including the Carnot cycle and the Brayton (or Joule) cycle, which is a model for the power cycle in a jet engine.

3. The First Law Applied to Engineering Cycles

[VW, S & B: Chapter 9, 11.8, 11.9, 11.10, 11.11, 11.12, 11.13, 11.14]

This chapter is devoted to describing the fundamentals of how various heat engines work. A heat engine is a device that uses heat to produce work, or uses work to move around heat. Refrigerators, internal combustion (automobile) engines, and jet engines are all types of heat engines. We will model these heat engines as thermodynamic cycles and apply the First Law of Thermodynamics to estimate thermal efficiency and work output as a function of pressures and temperatures at various points in the cycle. This is called ideal cycle analysis. The estimates we obtain from the analysis represent the best achievable performance that may be obtained from a heat engine. In reality, the performance of these systems will be somewhat less than the estimates obtained from ideal cycle analysis - you will learn how to make more realistic estimates later.

Our analyses will use the ``air-standard cycle,'' which is an approximation to actual cycle behavior. Specifically, we make the following simplifications:

  • Air is the working fluid (the presence of fuel and combustion products is neglected)3.1,
  • Combustion is represented by heat transfer from an external heat source,
  • The cycle is `completed' by heat transfer to the surroundings,
  • All processes are internally reversible (described more fully in Chapter 5), and
  • Air is a perfect gas with constant specific heats.

2.6 Muddiest Points on Chapter 2

MP 2..1 What are the conventions for work and heat in the first law?

Heat is positive if it is given to the system. Work is positive if it is done by the system.

MP 2..2 When does $ E\rightarrow U$ ?

We deal with changes in energy. When the changes in the other types of energy (kinetic, potential, strain, etc.) can be neglected compared to the changes in thermal energy, then it is a good approximation to use $ \Delta U$ as representing the total energy change.

MP 2..3 When is enthalpy the same in initial and final states?

Initial and final stagnation enthalpy is the same if the flow is steady and if there is no net shaft work plus heat transfer. If the change in kinetic energy is negligible, the initial and final enthalpy is the same. The “tank problem” is unsteady so the initial and final enthalpies are not the same. See the discussion of the steady flow energy equation in notes, Section 2.5.

MP 2..4 In the filling of a tank, why (physically) is the final temperature in the tank higher than the initial temperature?

Work is done on the system, which in this problem is the mass of gas that is pushed into the tank.

MP 2..5 What is shaft work?

I am not sure how best to answer, but it appears that the difficulty people are having might be associated with being able to know when one can say that shaft work occurs. There are several features of a process that produces (or absorbs) shaft work. First of all the view taken of the process is one of control volume, rather than control mass (see the discussion of control volumes in Chapter I or in IAW). Second, there needs to be a shaft or equivalent device (a moving belt, a row of blades) that can be identified as the work carrier. Third, the shaft work is work over and above the ``flow work'' that is done by (or received by) the streams that exit and enter the control volume.

MP 2..6 What distinguishes shaft work from other works?

The term shaft work arises in using a control volume approach. As we have defined it, ``shaft work'' is all work over and above work associated with the ``flow work'' (the work done by pressure forces). Generally this means work done by rotating machinery, which is carried by a shaft from the control volume to the outside world. There could also be work over and above the pressure force work done by shear stresses at the boundaries of the control volume, but this is seldom important if the control boundary is normal to the flow direction.

If we consider a system (a mass of fixed identity, say a blob of gas) flowing through some device, neglecting the effects of raising or lowering the blob the only mode of work would be the work to compress the blob. This would be true even if the blob were flowing through a turbine or compressor. (In doing this we are focusing on the same material as it undergoes the unsteady compression or expansion processes in the device, rather than looking at a control volume, through which mass passes.)

The question about shaft work and non shaft work has been asked several times. I am not sure how best to answer, but it appears that the difficulty people are having might be associated with being able to know when one can say that shaft work occurs. There are several features of a process that produces (or absorbs) shaft work. First of all, the view taken of the process is one of control volume, rather than control mass (see the discussion of control volumes in Section 2.5 or in IAW). Second, there needs to be a shaft or equivalent device (a moving belt, a row of blades) that can be identified as the work carrier. Third, the shaft work is work over and above the flow work that is done by (or received by) the streams that exit and enter the control volume.

MP 2..7 Definition of a control volume.

A control volume is an enclosure that separates a quantity of matter from the surroundings or environment. The enclosure does not necessarily have to consist of a solid boundary like the walls of a vessel. It is only necessary that the enclosure forms a closed surface and that its properties are defined everywhere. An enclosure may transmit heat or be a heat insulator. It may be deformable and thus capable of transmitting work to the system. It may also be capable of transmitting mass.

MP 2..8 What is the difference between enthalpy and stagnation enthalpy?
The enthalpy of a gas is defined as $ h = u + pv = u + p/\rho$ , and represents both the internal energy of that state and the flow work done on the gas to get it at that pressure and density. The stagnation enthalpy of a gas is defined as $ h_t = h + c^2/2$ and accounts for both the enthalpy and the kinetic energy of the gas at that state.
