The document discusses energy balances for open systems. It begins by outlining the key concepts to be covered, including energy balances for open unsteady and steady state systems, and their application to heat exchangers. For unsteady systems, the accumulation term is non-zero due to changing mass or energy within the system. For steady systems, accumulation is zero. The document then provides examples and homework problems to illustrate these concepts and energy balance equations for different open systems.

4. For open & unsteady state system
The accumulation term (E) in the energy balance Equation can be
non-zero
1. The mass in the system changes
2. The energy per unit mass in the system changes
And both 1 & 2 occur.
General Energy balance Equation:
= 乞1 乞2 = + + . + .
Here change in represents:
First one change inside the system with respect to time
Second shows energy with mass out energy with mass in.

5. For Open & Unsteady State System
Components of general equation of energy are:
1. Accumulation in the system from T1 to T2 :
= 2 + . + . 1 + . + .
2. Energy transfer in with mass flow = 1 + . + .
3. Energy transfer out with mass flow = 2 + . + .
4. Net energy Transfer (in and out of system) by heat = Q

7. Flow work
Flow work occurs at areas of a systems boundary across which there is material flowing.
The flow work is associated with the force and displacement required to push the material
into the system (input streams), or with the force and displacement required to push
material out of the system (output streams).
A fluid cannot flow unless it creates space for itself when it enters or exits a system.
The forces that do the necessary pushing are exerted by particles of the flowing material
inside the system on the particles of the material outside the system, and are evaluated at
the stream inlets and outlets where the transfer of material into/out of the system takes
place.
These forces, expressed per area, are the pressure P in the stream.
The flow work W fl,j, performed by the system on stream j in order to transfer a volume of
material Vj into or out of the system, is straightforwardly calculated from the pressure Pj in
the stream
Wfl,j = PjVj

9. Problem (to learn when U= H for a open unsteady system)
A rigid well insulated tank is connected to two
system.
One valve goes to a steam line that has a steam at
1000 kPa and 600K, and the other to a vacuum
pump.
Both valves are closed initially.
Then the valve to the steam line is opened, the tank
is evacuated, and the valve closed.
Next to the valve to the steam line is opened so
that the steam flows in the evacuated tank very
slowly until the pressure in the tank equals the
pressure in the steam line.
Calculate the final temperature of the steam in
the tank?

10. Solution
1. Define the system type:
as open- unsteady state.
2. Mention your Assumption (related to energy balance depending on the system)
= = + + . + .
No change occurs within the system for the P.E and K.E , E= U
No work is done or by the system on the work thus W= 0
NO heat is transferred in or out of the system, thus Q= 0
The kinetic and potential energy of the stream entering or leaving are zero.
NO stream exist the system, hence Hout = 0
Initially no mass exist in the stream thus Ut,in = 0
So the general Equation reduces to
=
3. Take the require properties data from steam tables.

11. For open & unsteady state system
Steady state means that all the state variables and the mass within the
system remains the same.
Therefore E = 0
Now the general energy balance for open system becomes
+ = + . + .
In most of the cases K.E and P.E are negligible.

Milk (essentially water) is heated from 15
C to 25 C by hot water that goes from 70
C to 35C as shown in figure.
What assumption can you make for
simplifying the problem?
What is rate of water flow in kg/min per
kg/min of milk.

15. Solution
1. Define the system type:
milk + water is picked as system.
open- steady state.
2. Mention your Assumption (related to energy balance depending on the system)
+ = + . + .
For steady system E= 0
No work is done or by the system on the work thus W= 0
NO heat is transferred in or out of the system, thus Q= 0 (system is insulated )
The kinetic and potential energy of the stream entering or leaving are zero.
So the general Equation reduces to
=
3. Take the require properties data from steam tables.
