i) Conservation of mass
The T-elbow of hot and cold water shower serves as the mixing chamber for the hot
and cold water streams. Under steady flow conditions the net mass flow will be zero.

(ii) Conservation of matter in a combustion chamber
In a combustion chamber, under steady flow conditions, net inflow of matter is zero.
Also conservation can be applied to each chemical element.

Air in
iii) Conservation of electric charge
The junction of an electric circuit cannot store electric charge and conservation of
electric charge is stated as Kirchoff’s law (which, in this case, is i1 + i2 + i3 + i4 = 0).

Using Simpson’s rule, for any even number (2n) of equal width strips width x, area A is
given by, A = x (y1+ 4y2+2y3+ . . . + 4y2n+ y2n+1) / 3
Work done, W = area under p-V curve in Figure Q3

= –100 500 J = – 100 kJ
The result could be obtained with the tabulated values, ignoring V = 200 litres to give
Table 3b and very nearly the same result as above

The expression is valid only for fully resisted expansion of a closed system.
(a)
i) The expression cannot be used for a partly resisted expansion.
ii) The expression cannot be used for an un-resisted expansion.
iii) The expression can be used for a fully resisted expansion.
(b)
i) Friction does not affect the process within the closed system comprising the gas.
Thus, the expression can be used to find the work done on the system.
ii) The expression cannot be used to find the work done on the system comprising
the surroundings, as friction occurs within the surroundings and affects the work
transmitted across the piston.

The expression is not for open systems and therefore cannot be used for any flow
process.
For an ideal gas, pV = mRT
For the process, pVn = K

Therefore, work done in process 1-2 = W1 2    pdV

n
=   KV dV = (p2V2 – p1V1) / (n-1)
For a constant pressure process, p = constant. Therefore n = 0. p2 = p1= p
W1-2 = (p2V2 – p1V1) / (n-1) = p (V1-V2)
For a constant volume process, V = constant. Therefore n = .
W1-2 = 0
For constant temperature process, n = 1. The formula, W1-2 = (p2V2 – p1V1) / (n-1)
cannot be used, and the result is obtained by integration as
W1-2 = mRT ln (V1/V2)

Cyclic process: There is no net change in the system boundary during a cycle. So there is
no work done in displacing the matter in the surroundings. Thus the use of either gauge
pressure or absolute pressure will give the same result.
Non-cyclic process: Here the use of gauge pressure will give the shaft work or useful work
and the use of absolute pressure the work interaction across the system boundary.

The boundary interactions including the unaccounted heat interaction rate Qx are as
identified in the figure above. Ws and Ws are, respectively the work output rates to the
shaft and the dynamo, Qin is the heat supply rate, and Qc is the heat removal rate by the
cooling water.

Applying the first law of thermodynamics to the system,

Consider the rigid insulated sealed vessel shown above. There is no boundary interaction
Therefore there is no change energy content.
When the system is cooled there is a heat interaction with heat flow to the surroundings,
but no work. Therefore the energy content will decrease.

(A small difference between W1-2 and U2 – U1 is possible because of rounding errors in the
arithmetic.)
