First law of thermodynamics for open and closed system

First law of Thermodynamics

Closed System : [ Control Mass ]

a. Conservation of mass :

Mass of control mass system remains constant.
i.e. 

b. Conservation of energy :

At state 1 : (i.e. at the beginning)
Internal energy = u1
Potential energy = gz1
Kinetic Energy = (1/2) c12

 

Note : These are the values in specific case i.e. for unit mass.

At state 2:
Internal energy = u2
Potential energy = gz2
Kinetic energy = (1/2) c22
 
Let ‘q’ and ‘w’ are the energy interaction from the system. Then, from the principle of conservation of energy, we have,

Then, For non – flow system,

Then,

Open system [ Control Volume ]

a. Conservation of open system :

The rate of change of mass of control volume is the difference of rate of change of mass at the inlet and outlet of the system.
Now, If A1, c1 and A2, c2 be the area of cross section and velocity at inlet and outlet respectively. Then , the rate of change of volume at inlet and outlet are given by, 

b. Conservation of energy :

Energy at inlet:

Internal energy = u1
Potential energy = gz1
Kinetic Energy = (1/2) c12
Flow energy = P1v1

Energy at outlet:

Internal energy = u2
Potential energy = gz2
Kinetic energy = (1/2)c22
Flow energy = P2v2
Let ‘q’ and ‘w’ are the energy interaction to and from the system.
If ‘ e1’ and ‘ e2’ are energy before and after the process inside the control volume.
Then, by conservation of energy,

Now,
For steady flow,
