Conservation of total energy

The total energy of a system is composed of internal energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy. The internal energy per unit mass is given 

The kinetic energy per unit mjes is computed by integrating the momentum of the particles of the system over their rate of change (velocity) from rest to the velocity of the system, 

The potential energy per unit mass is obtained by integrating the gravitational acceleration over the system height. If the acceleration of gravity is constant, then the result is gZ as shown in equation (1.4.2) 

The total energy per unit mass, E, is the sum of the internal energy per unit mass, the kinetic energy per unit mass and the potential energy per unit mass 

It is worth noting at this point that, in working problems, it is imperative that the units in an equation be consistent. Particular emphasis should be placed on keeping force and mass units consistent.

Conservation of energy. Assuming that U and H do not depend explicitly on time or velocity (so that dH/dt = 0), it is easy to show from Eq. (8) that the total derivative dFUdt is zero i.e., the Hamiltonian is a constant of motion for Newton s equation. In other words, there is conservation of total energy under Newton s equation of motion.

We have also tried to assess the effects of integrating Hamilton s equations numerically. This is a rather difficult task since the exact solutions to these equations are not known. However, we can use the observed conservation of total energy and linear momentum as an indication that the equations are being integrated properly. For the Stockmayer and modified Stockmayer simulations the total energy and linear momentum were conserved to 0.05 and 0.0006%, respectively, over the 600 integration steps of the production phase of these calculations. 

If one adopts McLennan s [78b] interpretation, then Eq. (21) is a realization of a standard theorem of Newtonian mechanics conservation of total energy = conservation of kinetic plus potential energy (see, e.g., Chap. 4 of Kleppner and Kolenkow, [80]). The reason is simple Coulomb electric force is central, then work is path independent, and total energy is function of position only. The time derivative of total energy is of course zero, as in Eq. (21). In this interpretation Qp and Qi are manifestations of kinetic energy.

The relations derived thus far have been obtained from conservation of total energy and conservation of linear momentum. In general, however, the total angular momentum is also a collisional invariant, and additional microscopic information can be obtained from this particular conservation law. Before collision, the initial angular momentum of the system is a vector...
