First Law of Thermodynamics with open and closed system Examples

First Law

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed in any isolated thermodynamics system but it can be changed from one form like heat into another form like work or internal energy or both. First law of thermodynamics follow the law of conservation of energy and it state that energy cannot be created nor be destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another form. From first law of thermodynamics it can be said that the internal energy of the system remains same and it is equal to the heat provided to the system minus the work done by the system.

Open System

Open system are those in which mass and heat can cross the boundaries of the system. Example of first law of thermodynamics for open system can be seen in pumps, turbines and heat exchanges where heat and mass cross the boundaries of the system. In such application the internal energy of the system is equal to the heat provided to the system minus the work by the system. In these system mass in slowing out of system boundaries which means a lot of energy or heat is getting wasted with mass but the system is in equilibrium as the required amount of heat is also being provided with inlet mass.

In the following example water is billing in a boiler with the top of the boiler wide open. Heat is providing to the system with the help of an external source (fire) and as a result of it internal energy of the water is increasing. With the increase in internal energy of water a lot of heat is wasted from the boilers walls and from the vapours going out of the boiler. This water boiling system is open system as heat and mass both are going out of the system



Closed System

Closed system is one in which mass of the system cannot leave the system boundaries but the heat can. First of thermodynamics has some example for closed system in which head enters and exist the system and system also give some work output but the system mass does not leave its boundaries one of this example is piston cylinder arrangement where heat provided is converted into motion of piston.

In the below example when boiler top is covered and steam is not allowed to leave the system the only heat can leave the system through the boundaries of system means from the walls of the boilers

To understand the deflection of beam Objective of  deflection of beam lab report 1. Learn basic working of beam 2. Perform theoretical calculation for deflection of beam 3. Perform series of experiment with different material, shapes and load  for beam 4. Compare the result and Discuss the finding Introduction to  deflection of beam Load supporting element in any structure that is installed in horizontal direction and take load perpendicular to its length is called a beam.   Based on the way it is installed in structure, beam can be classified in to four main types.  First simply supported beam which have supports at its both ends, second is overhanging beam which have length extended over its supports, third is overhanging beam which have more than two supports and fourth is cantilever beam which fixed only at one end and other end is free.  There are three basic types of supports available for beams which includes fixed ends support, pined connection support and roller end support.

Aim of Bending Moment in a Beam Aim of this experiment is to study effect of force magnitude on bending moment of beam Recommended:   Deflection of Beam Lab Report Theory Bending Moment in a Beam Beams A structural element which is designed and used to bear high load of structure and other external load is called beam. There are many different types of beam like cantilever beam, simple supported beam and overhanging beam.  Bending of Beam When an external load or the structural load applied in beam is large enough to displace the beam from its present place, then that deflection of beam from its resent axis is called bending of beam.  Bending Moment In simple words bending moment is the product of force applied on beam with the distance between the point of application of force and fixed end of the beam Introduction to Experiment of Bending Moment in a Beam This experiment is about studying the effect of force magnitude on bending of beam and for that structure hardwar

Aim of Bernoulli experiment Aim of this experiment is to compare the behaviour of ideal fluid and real fluid using Bernoulli experiment. Objective of Bernoulli Theorem 1. Use the venture meter apparatus to perform Bernoulli experiment and the effect of area of the flow velocity and fluid pressure 2. Use the Bernoulli’s equation /  Bernoulli theorem  to compare the behaviour of ideal and real fluid Introduction  Bernoulli Experiment According to the Bernoulli’s experiment when area available for the fluid to flow decrease then flow of fluid increase and at the mean while time the fluid pressure or the fluid potential energy decreases. Read about the Effect of Sluice Gate on the Flow of Fluid .  This principle was name after the Daniel Bernoulli who first writes this principle in book named Hydrodynamic.  Following are some of the application of the Bernoulli experiment Find the Air-flight Lift Baseball Draft Sailing Theory of Bernoulli's Theorem Experiment According to Mil
