Conservation laws of energy

At the instant a pressure vessel ruptures, pressure at the contact surface is given by Eq. (6.3.22). The further development of pressure at the contact surface can only be evaluated numerically. However, the actual p-V process can be adequately approximated by the dashed curve in Figure 6.12. In this process, the constant-pressure segment represents irreversible expansion against an equilibrium counterpressure P3 until the gas reaches a volume V3. This is followed by an isentropic expansion to the end-state pressure Pq. For this process, the point (p, V3) is not on the isentrope which emanates from point (p, V,), since the first phase of the expansion process is irreversible. Adamczyk calculates point (p, V3) from the conservation of energy law and finds...

We really do not have energy sources as such in nature, even though we sloppily use that term. Instead, we actually have energy transducers. Else we must discard the conservation of energy law itself Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but only changed in form. 

Let s pursue a bit further the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy. According to the conservation of energy law, energy can be neither created nor destroyed it can only be converted from one form into another. 

According to the conservation of energy law, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Thus, the total energy of an isolated system is constant. The total internal energy (E) of a system—the sum of all kinetic and potential energies for each particle in the system— is a state function because its value depends only on the present condition of the system, not on how that condition was reached. 

The conservation of energy law says that only a photon of energy ho) that fits the difference... 

Note that, in the above discussion, we have not yet used the second part of the Second Law of Thermodynamics explicitly. The results are derived solely from the First Law of Thermodynamics (i.e., the conservation of energy law), using the thermodynamic potentials u(y,s) and /(v, T), where the first part of the Second Law was used because in (3.3) we introduced the definition of entropy s. 

Energy can be imparted to a system in several forms, which are mutually convertible (Fig. 3.1). In this Section the conservation of energy law, that is the First Law of Thermodynamics, for mechanical and heat energies is discussed as a typical example. The First Law of Thermodynamics asserts that both mechanical and heat fluxes contribute to the increase of internal energy. Here the energy, power and mass flux received from the surroundings are denoted as positive except for the heat flux, which follows the classical thermodynamics convention. 

In addition to the mechanical field we can also consider a thermal energy field with a heat supply Q. If heat is supplied at a rate dQ/dt, the rate of reversible internal energy dlildt consists of both the mechanical and heat contributions, and the conservation of energy law can be written as... 

If chemical and electromagnetic energies are supplied to the body, the conservation of energy law and the dissipative energy law are of the same form but require additional energy fluxes in the r.h.s. terms of (3.40) and (3.43) to account for chemical and electromagnetic phenomena. 

First we need to show the existence of entropy based on the auxiliary conservation of energy law (3.50). We will then indicate that irreversible processes, in the sense of the present work, result in an observational problem with any non-measurable data. 

The internal energy is transformed into several energy forms (i.e., thermodynamical potential functions) through the Legendre transformation. Here we introduce the Legendre transformation and consider the various energy forms. In this Chapter it is understood that the entropy inequality is not a physical law and the conservation of energy law is fundamental therefore we do not divide the entropy increment as ds = ds +ds but simply we set ds = ds. ...
