or, on a unit mass basis,
(2–3)
where Vdenotes the velocity of the system relative to some fixed reference
frame. The kinetic energy of a rotating solid body is given by Iv^2 where I
is the moment of inertia of the body and vis the angular velocity.
The energy that a system possesses as a result of its elevation in a gravita-
tional field is called potential energy(PE) and is expressed as
(2–4)
or, on a unit mass basis,
(2–5)
where gis the gravitational acceleration and zis the elevation of the center
of gravity of a system relative to some arbitrarily selected reference level.
The magnetic, electric, and surface tension effects are significant in some
specialized cases only and are usually ignored. In the absence of such
effects, the total energy of a system consists of the kinetic, potential, and
internal energies and is expressed as
(2–6)
or, on a unit mass basis,
(2–7)
Most closed systems remain stationary during a process and thus experi-
ence no change in their kinetic and potential energies. Closed systems
whose velocity and elevation of the center of gravity remain constant during
a process are frequently referred to as stationary systems.The change in
the total energy Eof a stationary system is identical to the change in its
internal energy U. In this text, a closed system is assumed to be stationary
unless stated otherwise.
Control volumes typically involve fluid flow for long periods of time, and
it is convenient to express the energy flow associated with a fluid stream in
the rate form. This is done by incorporating the mass flow ratem
.
, which is
the amount of mass flowing through a cross section per unit time. It is
related to the volume flow rateV
.
, which is the volume of a fluid flowing
through a cross section per unit time, by
Mass flow rate: (2–8)
which is analogous to mrV. Here ris the fluid density,Acis the cross-
sectional area of flow, and Vavgis the average flow velocity normal to Ac.
The dot over a symbol is used to indicate time ratethroughout the book.
Then the energy flow rate associated with a fluid flowing at a rate of m

is
