  1. Energy and Heat Transfer

  2. ObjectivesComprehend • Forms of energy • Energy conversion • Heat transfer processes • Principles of operation of various heat exchangers

  3. What is Thermodynamics? • The science concerned with the interrelationship between thermal energy and mechanical energy • i.e. how to convert Thermal Energy to Mechanical Energy

  4. ENERGY

  5. HEAT TRANSFER • Science that deals with methods by which thermal energy is able to move from one location to another

  6. THREE MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER • CONDUCTION • RADIATION • CONVECTION

  7. CONDUCTION • Heat flows from hotter to colder region when there is physical contact between the two regions • EX: Touching a hot pot of water

  8. GENERAL CONDUCTION EQUATION Q = ktA (T1-T2)/L where Q : Quantity of heat (Btu or cal) k : Coefficient of thermal conductivity (Btu/((hr)(F)(ft)) t : Time (hr) T1 : Temp at hot end (F) T2 : Temp at cold end (F) L : Distance between the two ends (in) A : Cross sectional area (sq ft)

  9. RADIATION • Heat transfer via infrared electromagnetic waves (infrared - wavelength just below visible light) • Infrared radiation passes through transparent substances (air, glass, space) without warming them to any significant extent • EX: Thermal radiation from sun warms earth w/o warming space in between

  10. Radiation • Heat transfer - HotCold • No physical contact between regions • Heat Sink: • Absorbs radiant energy (Dark/Opaque) • Reflects radiant energy (White/Shiny/Polished) • Ex. Sun warms the earth

  11. CONVECTION • The transportation or movement of some portions of a FLUID within a larger mass of fluid • This results in mixing within the fluid • As mixing takes place, heat transfer occurs from one part of the fluid to another and between fluid and its surroundings • EX: Air Conditioner and fan

  12. Convection • Combined conduction/radiation • Heating of adjacent molecules • Occurs in liquids and gases • Types • Natural • Forced

  13. TYPES OF CONVECTION • NATURAL CONVECTION: Density differences (usually caused by differences in temperature) within different parts of a fluid create flow • FORCED CONVECTION: Use of a mechanical device (pump, fan) to produce movement of the fluid mass

  14. HEAT EXCHANGER (HX) • A device that takes thermal energy from one substance and adds it to another substance • EX: Car radiator

  15. HX CLASSIFICATION • (1) Relative direction of fluid: parallel, counter, cross-flow • (2) Number of passes the fluid makes • (3) type of contact between fluids: direct (they mix) or indirect • (4) Phases of the working substances

  16. Heat Exchangers • Counter flow • Parallel flow • Cross flow • Single pass • Multi-Pass

  17. Counter Flow

  18. Parallel Flow

  19. Cross Flow

  20. Main Condenser

  21. Heat Exchangers • Single pass - One fluid passes the other fluid only once. • Multi-Pass - One fluid passes the other more than once via the arrangement of the tubes, inlet/outlet ports, or by baffles used to guide a fluid through a specific path.

  22. Boundary Layers • Boundary Layer - Thin layer of stagnant fluid adjacent to heat exchanger wall. Poor at transferring heat.

  23. Boundary Layers (cont) • Effect on heat transfer • Velocity • Turbulent Flow • Large temperature gradients • Scale/Chemical deposits • Soot/Dirt buildup

  24. BOUNDARY LAYER - The relatively stagnant layers between fluids in convection - sometimes called fluid films

  25. Thermodynamic Cycles • Def’n: a recurring series of thermodynamic processes through which an effect is produced by transformation or redistribution of energy • One classification: • Open: working fluid taken in, used, & discarded • Closed: working medium never leaves cycle, except through leakage; medium undergoes state changes & returns to original state

  26. Five Basic Elements of all Cycles • Working substance: transports energy within system • Heat source: supplies heat to the working medium • Engine: device that converts the thermal energy of the medium into work • Heated: heat added in engine itself • Unheated: heat received in some device separate from engine

  27. Five Basic Elements of all Cycles • Heat sink/receiver: absorbs heat from the working medium • Pump: moves the working medium from the low-pressure side to the high-pressure side of the cycle

  28. HEAT SOURCE Qin Working Substance W Engine Qout Pump HEAT SINK Basic Thermodynamic Cycle

  29. THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

  30. Clausius Statement • It is impossible to construct a device that operates in a cycle and produces no effect other than the transfer of heat from a lower temperature body to a higher temperature body • Heat flows only from a hotter to a colder substance

  31. Entropy • Entropy is the theoretical measure of energy that cannot be transformed into mechanical work in a thermodynamic system; entropy may be viewed as an index of the unavailability of energy (energy that is not converted to useful work) • The second law of thermodynamics may also be stated as: No process can occur in which the entropy of an isolated system decreases; the total entropy of an isolated system can theoretically remain constant in some reversible (ideal) processes, but in all irreversible (real) processes the total entropy of an isolated system must increase

  32. Reversible v. Irreversible • A reversible thermodynamic process • could be made to occur in precisely reverse order, so that the energy system and all associated systems would be returned from their final condition to the conditions that existed before the process started • could return all energy that was transformed or redistributed during the process from its final to its original form, amount and location • ALL REAL PROCESSES ARE IRREVERSIBLE TO SOME DEGREE, AND THEREFORE INVOLVE AN INCREASE IN ENTROPY
