Finite Volume Analysis:   Application of Conservation of Energy  

 

Example 1  (continued)

 

Step 2b

(continued)

Simplify for steady, uniform, incompressible flow with one

stream entering and one stream exiting the control surface.

 

For steady flow      ∂/∂t  ∫ e ρ dV  =  ∂/∂t  ∫ [ u + p/ρ +  ½ V2  +  gz ] ρ dV  =  0

                                    cv                        cv

                                                                                .

For no heat transfer across the control surface      Q net in  =  0.  The energy equation

reduces to:                                  .                                                  

                     e  ρ  V n  dS  =    W shaft net in   where     e  =  u +  p/ρ +  ½ V2  +  gz

                 cs

                                                                            .

      e  ρ  V1 n1  dS  + ∫  e  ρ  V2 n2  dS  =    W shaft net in

  cs1                            cs2

 

          Now  V1 n1  =  - V1     and  V2 n2  =  V2  

 

Since uniform, incompressible flow with one stream entering the control surface and

one stream leaving the control surface

 

      ∫ ρ V1  dS  =  ρ V1 A1  =  ρ Q   and    ∫ ρ V2  dS  =  ρ V2 A2  = ρ Q   =  dm/dt
    cs1                                                     cs2

     

     Here  dm/dt   is the mass flow rate in slugs/sec

                                                                                                                                .      

   - [u1 + p1/ρ +  ½ V12  +  gz1 ] dm/dt  +   [u2 + p2/ρ +  ½ V22  +  gz2 ] dm/dt   =  W shaft net in

 

where terms on the left side are  (ft lb / slug) (slugs/sec) = ft lb / sec

                                                    .

and  the net shaft power in is     W shaft net in  is in        ft lb / sec
