Chapter 4 Control Volume Analysis Using Energy

The use of mass and energy balances for control volumes at

steady state is illustrated for nozzles and diffusers, turbines, compressors and pumps, heat exchangers, throttling devices, and
integrated systems. An essential aspect of all such applications
is the careful and explicit listing of appropriate assumptions. Such
model-building skills are stressed throughout the chapter.
The following checklist provides a study guide for this chapter. When your study of the text and end-of-chapter exercises has
been completed you should be able to
c write out the meanings of the terms listed in the margins

throughout the chapter and understand each of the related

concepts. The subset of key concepts listed below is particularly important in subsequent chapters.
c list the typical modeling assumptions for nozzles and diffusers, turbines, compressors and pumps, heat exchangers, and
throttling devices.
c apply Eqs. 4.6, 4.18, and 4.20 to control volumes at steady
state, using appropriate assumptions and property data for
the case at hand.
c apply mass and energy balances for the transient analysis of
control volumes, using appropriate assumptions and property
data for the case at hand.

undergoing cycles while interacting with thermal reservoirs. The
irreversibility concept is introduced and the related notions of irreversible, reversible, and internally reversible processes are discussed. The Kelvin temperature scale is defined and used to obtain
expressions for maximum performance measures of power, refrigeration, and heat pump cycles operating between two thermal reservoirs. The Carnot cycle is introduced to provide a specific example
of a reversible cycle operating between two thermal reservoirs.
Finally, the Clausius inequality providing a bridge from Chap. 5 to
Chap. 6 is presented and discussed.

c CHAPTER SUMMARY AND STUDY GUIDE

This chapter begins with an introduction to power generation
that surveys current U.S. power generation by source and looks
ahead to power generation needs in decades to come. These
discussions provide context for the study of vapor power plants
in this chapter and gas power plants in Chap. 9.
In Chap. 8 we have considered practical arrangements for
vapor power plants, illustrated how vapor power plants are modeled thermodynamically, and considered the principal irreversibilities and losses associated with such plants. The main components of simple vapor power plants are modeled by the Rankine
cycle.
In this chapter, we also have introduced modifications to the
simple vapor power cycle aimed at improving overall performance. These include superheat, reheat, regeneration, supercritical operation, cogeneration, and binary cycles. We have also
included a case study to illustrate the application of exergy analysis to vapor power plants.

The following checklist provides a study guide for this chapter. When your study of the text and end-of-chapter exercises has
been completed you should be able to

concepts. The subset of key concepts listed below is particularly important.
sketch schematic diagrams and accompanying Ts diagrams
of Rankine, reheat, and regenerative vapor power cycles.
apply conservation of mass and energy, the second law, and
property data to determine power cycle performance, including
thermal efficiency, net power output, and mass flow rates.
discuss the effects on Rankine cycle performance of varying
steam generator pressure, condenser pressure, and turbine
inlet temperature.

in vapor power plants.

c CHAPTER SUMMARY AND STUDY GUIDE

In this chapter we have considered refrigeration and heat pump
systems, including vapor systems where the refrigerant is alternately vaporized and condensed, and gas systems where the
refrigerant remains a gas. The three principal types of systems
discussed are the vapor-compression, absorption, and reversed
Brayton cycles.
The performance of simple vapor refrigeration systems is
described in terms of the vapor-compression cycle. For this cycle,
we have evaluated the principal work and heat transfers along
with two important performance parameters: the coefficient of
performance and the refrigeration capacity. We have considered
the effect on performance of irreversibilities during the compression process and in the expansion across the valve, as well as
the effect of irreversible heat transfer between the refrigerant
and the warm and cold regions. Variations of the basic vaporcompression refrigeration cycle also have been considered,
including cold storage, cascade cycles, and multistage compression with intercooling. A discussion of vapor-compression heat
pump systems is also provided.
Qualitative discussions are presented of refrigerant properties and of considerations in selecting refrigerants. Absorption
refrigeration and heat pump systems are also discussed qualitatively. The chapter concludes with a study of gas refrigeration
systems.

The following list provides a study guide for this chapter.

When your study of the text and end-of-chapter exercises has
been completed, you should be able to
c write out the meanings of the terms listed in the margin

throughout the chapter and understand each of the related

concepts. The subset of key concepts listed below is particularly important.
sketch the Ts diagrams of vapor-compression refrigeration
and heat pump cycles and of Brayton refrigeration cycles, correctly showing the relationship of the refrigerant temperature
to the temperatures of the warm and cold regions.
apply the first and second laws along with property data to
determine the performance of vapor-compression refrigeration and heat pump cycles and of Brayton refrigeration cycles,
including evaluation of the power required, the coefficient of
performance, and the capacity.
sketch schematic diagrams of vapor-compression cycle modifications, including cascade cycles and multistage compression with intercooling between the stages. In each case be
able to apply mass and energy balances, the second law, and
property data to determine performance.
explain the operation of absorption refrigeration systems.
