CHEN 3101 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Control Volume, International System Of Units, Thermodynamic Temperature
Document Summary
One of the key uses of thermodynamics in the present day is creating a more sustainable future. This includes finding better ways to generate energy and optimizing transportation in order to reduce harmful emissions: 1. 2 defining systems. Surroundings: the system is whatever we want to study. It can be very simple or very complex: everything that is external to the system is considered that system"s, the system is distinguished from its surroundings by a specified boundary. The: there are two kinds of systems that are distinguished in this book boundary may be static or in motion. Closed systems or control mass a region that contains a fixed amount. There can be no transfer of mass across its boundary. with its surroundings: 1. 2. 2 control volumes, a region within a prescribed boundary is studied in control volumes. The region that is being studied is called the control volume.
