Conservation of Energy: The Energy Equation and the Thermodynamic Equation of State

12.1 Introduction

After discussing the conservation of momentum, we now turn to the last equation we need in order to calculate all six flow variables. This last equation is derived from the conservation of energy. For this equation, we need to sum up all energy contributions into and out of the control volume dV . Energy can be brought into and removed from the control volume

 in the form of energy flow by convection, i.e., in- and outflowing mass: Ėconvection

 in the form of heat flow by conduction, i.e., heat transfer across the boundary: ˙Qconductionsi1_e

 in the form of work performed by boundary forces, i.e., shear, normal forces as well as pressure acting on the surfaces of the control volume: boundary forces

 in the form of volume energy flow created by effects acting on the whole volume, e.g., chemical reactions or microwave heating: ˙Qvolume effectsi2_e

 in the form of volume work flow created by volume forces, e.g., electrical or gravimetric forces: volume forces

The overall energy of the control volume will change over time as a consequence of these contribution. According to the first law of thermodynamics (see Eq. 6.32) the total energy of the system can be written as

eV=miV(uV+eV,pot+eV,kin)=(uV+eV,pot+eV,kin)

si3_e  (Eq. 12.1)

Please note that contrary to the convention used in section 6.6, the specific energy does not referred to the mass but to the volume (thus the index V). This makes sense because the density (and therefore the mass) of the control volume changes but the volume remains unchanged. However, comparing Eq. 12.1 with the first law of thermodynamics (see section 6.6), we can see that this is effectively the change of total energy of the system. eV, pot is the specific potential energy resulting from gravimetric height changes, whereas eV, kin is the specific kinetic energy resulting from changes in momentum.

We will restrict our discussion to control volumes in Eulerian frames of reference, i.e., to control volumes that are fixed in space. We therefore have no change in the potential energy, and Eq. 12.1 can therefore be simplified to

eV=ρ(uV+eV,kin)

si4_e  (Eq. 12.2)

The internal energy can be expressed by the velocity and is given by

eVkin=12ρv2=12ρ(v2x+v2y+v2x)

si5_e

We know that

E = eV V

from which we follow

dE = eV dV

Therefore the change of energy in the control volume over time can be expressed as

dEdt=deVdtdV=deVdtdxdydz=ddt(ρ(uV+12v2))dxdydz

si6_e  (Eq. 12.3)

In the following, we will look at each contribution to the change of energy of the control volume.

12.2 Energy Transfer by Convection

We will start by discussing the change of energy due to convection. Fig. 12.1 displays the mass influx and outflux into and out of the control volume. Each mass flow will bring along energy in the form of kinetic and internal energy. The energy flows are calculated as

Fig. 12.1 Energy change in the control volume as a consequence of mass in- and outflux by convection.

dĖconvection=eVd˙V=eVvdA

si7_e

Along the individual axes, the energy flows are calculated to be in x-direction

dĖx=Ėx(Ėx+Ėxxdx)=(ρ(uV+12v2)vx(ρ(uV+12v2)vx+(ρ(uV+12v2)vx)xdx))dydz=(ρ(uV+12v2)vx)xdxdydz

si8_e

in y-direction

dĖy=Ėy(Ėy+Ėyydy)=(ρ(uV+12v2)vy(ρ(uV+12v2)vy+(ρ(uV+12v2)vy)ydy))dxdz=(ρ(uV+12v2)vy)ydxdydz

si9_e

in z-direction

dĖz=Ėz(Ėz+Ėzzdz)=(ρ(uV+12v2)vz(ρ(uV+12v2)vz+(ρ(uV+12v2)vz)zdz))dxdy=(ρ(uV+12v2)vz)zdxdydz

si10_e

in summary

dĖconv.=((ρ(uV+12v2)vx)x+(ρ(uV+12v2)vy)y+(ρ(uV+12v2)vz)z)dxdydz

si11_e  (Eq. 12.4)

As stated, the energy equation will amount to only one equation. So although we have made the balance along the individual axes, the overall energy contribution will be summed up in Eq. 12.4.

12.3 Heat Flow by Conduction

The second form of energy influx and outflux is due to heat flow in form of conduction across the surfaces of the control volume (see Fig. 12.2). These heat flows are calculated according to Fourier’s law of heat conduction (see Eq. 6.73) as

f12-02-9781455731411
Fig. 12.2 Energy change in the control volume as a consequence of heat conduction across the surfaces.

d˙Qconduction=λTndA

si12_e

with n being the normal vector of the area segment dA. Along the individual axes, the heat flows are calculated to be

in x-direction

d˙Qx=˙Qx(˙Qx+˙Qxxdx)=(λTx(λTx+x(λTx)dx))dydz=x(λTx)dxdydz

si13_e

in y-direction

d˙Qy=˙Qy(˙Qy+˙Qyydy)=(λTy(λTy+y(λTy)dy))dxdz=y(λTy)dxdydz

si14_e

in z-direction

d˙Qz=˙Qz(˙Qz+˙Qzzdz)=(λTz(λTz+z(λTz)dz))dxdy=z(λTz)dxdydz

si15_e

in summary

d˙Qconduction=(x(λTx)+y(λTy)+z(λTz))dxdydz

si16_e  (Eq. 12.5)

Again, the terms along the axes are summed up so that the total contribution of conduction is represented by Eq. 12.5.

12.4 Work Flow by Boundary Forces

The third term is the work performed by shear and normal forces that act on the surfaces of the control volume (see Fig. 12.3). Again, we will split the normal forces into two contributions: one contribution resulting from friction forces of the liquid σii and a contribution resulting from the action of pressure p. We introduced this concept before (see Eq. 11.13, Eq. 11.14, and Eq. 11.15).

f12-03-9781455731411
Fig. 12.3 Contribution to the change of energy by the action of surface and normal forces as well as pressure on the boundary of the control volume.

The work due to the action of the forces is calculated according to Eq. 6.33 as dẆboundary forces = {σ, τ, p} dV = {σ, τ, p} v dA

Along the individual axes the work is calculated to be on surface dy dz

dx=x(x+xxdx)+[pv(pv+(pv)xdx)σxxv+(σxxv+(σxxv)xdx)τxyv+(τxyv+(τxyv)xdx)τxzv+(τxzv+(τxzv)xdx)]dydz=((pvx)x+(σxxv)x+(τxyv)x+(τxzv)x)dxdydz

si17_e

on surface dx dz

dy=y(y+yydy)+[pv(pv+(pv)ydy)σyyv+(σyyv+(σyyv)ydy)τyxv+(τyxv+(τyxv)ydy)τyzv+(τyzv+(τyzv)ydy)]dxdz=((pvy)y+(σyyv)y+(τyxv)y+(τyzv)y)dxdydz

si18_e

dWz=Wz(Wz+Wzzdz)+[pv(pv+(pv)zdz)σzzv+(σzzv+(σzzv)zdz)τzxv+(τzxv+(τzxv)zdz)τzyv+(τzyv+(τzyv)zdz)]dxdy=((pvz)z+(σzzv)z+(τzxv)z+(τzyv)z)dxdydz

si19_e

in summary

dboundaryforces=[(pvx)x+(σxxv)x+(τxyv)x+(τxzv)x(pvy)y+(σyyv)y+(τyxv)y+(τyzv)y(pvz)z+(σzzv)z+(τzxv)z+(τzyv)z]dxdydz

si20_e  (Eq. 12.6)

Again, the individual terms can be summed up to Eq. 12.6.

12.5 Heat Flow by Volume Effects

The fourth contribution we need to consider is the heat flow by volume effects. Typical examples include chemical reactions happening inside the control volume. In contrast to the contributions of conduction, these effects act on the whole volume. Therefore we do not need to consider the changes of the heat flow as we move along the individual axes, and therefore we do not have to derive the partial differentials. The unit of qV is J m−3. Analytically this contribution is described by

d˙Qvolume effect=˙qdm=˙qρdV=˙QmρdV=˙QVdV=˙qVdV=˙qVdxdydz

si21_e  (Eq. 12.7)

where ˙qVsi22_e is the specific heat flow per volume in unit J m−3 s−1.

12.6 Work Flow by Volume Forces

The fifth and last contribution is the work flow created by the action of volume forces ksi23_e, e.g., electrical forces that act on all ions in the volume as well as gravimetric forces that act on the mass in the control volume. In comparison to the heat flow because of volume effects (see section 12.5), we do not have to consider the changes along the individual axes because volume effects are not considered to change. The unit of ksi23_e is N m−3. The contribution along the individual axes are calculated as

in x-direction

dẆvolume forces, x = kx vx dx dy dz

in y-direction

dẆvolume forces, y = ky vy dx dy dz

in z-direction

dẆvolume forces, z = kz vz dx dy dz

in summary

dvolume forces=(kxvx+kyvy+kzvz)dxdydz=(kv)dxdydz

si25_e  (Eq. 12.8)

12.7 Balance of Contributions

Summing up Eq. 12.4, Eq. 12.5, Eq. 12.6, Eq. 12.7, and Eq. 12.8 and substituting them in Eq. 12.3, we obtain the following expression for the conservation of energy after dividing by dx dy dz:

ddt(ρ(uV+12v2))=(ρ(uV+12v2)vx)x+(ρ(uV+12v2)vy)y+(ρ(uV+12v2)vz)zconvection+x(λTx)+y+(λTy)+z(λTz)conduction(pvx)x+(σxxv)x+(τxyv)x+(τxzv)x(pvy)y+(σyyv)y+(τyxv)y+(τyzv)y(pvz)z+(σzzv)z+(τzxv)z+(τzyv)zsurface forces+ρ˙qVvol. heat flow+kvvol. work flow

si26_e  (Eq. 12.9)

12.7.1 Simplifications on the Left-Hand Side

Eq. 12.9 describes all the physics of the conservation of energy. However, the equation can still be simplified. We first combine the left-hand side of the equation with the first term of the right-hand side.

ddt(ρ(uV+12v2))+(ρ(uv+12v2)vx)x+(ρ(uV+12v2)vy)y+(ρ(uV+12v2)vz)z

si27_e  (Eq. 12.10)

Now we expand the partial differentials of the left-hand side of this equation according to Eq. 3.13.

ddt(ρ(uV+12v2))+(ρ(uV+12v2)vx)x+(ρ(uV+12v2)vy)y+(ρ(uV+12v2)vz)z=(uV+12v2)ρt+ρ(uV+12v2)t+(uV+12v2)((ρvx)x+(ρvy)y+(ρvz)z)+(ρvx)uV+12v2x+(ρvy)uV+12v2y+(ρvz)uV+12v2z=(uV+12v2)(ρt+(ρvx)x+(ρvy)y+(ρvz)z)+ρ(uV+12v2t+vxuV+12v2x+vyuV+12v2y+vzuV+12v2z)=ρ(uV+12v2t+vxuV+12v2x+vyuV+12v2y+vzuV+12v2z)

si28_e  (Eq. 12.11)

The last simplification can be made because

ρt+(ρvx)x+(ρvy)y+(ρvz)z=0

si29_e  (Eq. 12.12)

due to the continuity equation (see Eq. 10.16). We can expand (see Eq. 12.11) a little further by using

i(12v2)=12(v2x+v2y+v2z)i=12(v2xx+v2yy+v2zz)=12(2vxvxi+2vyvyi+2vzvzi)=vxvxi+vyvyi+vzvzi

si30_e

with i = {t, x, y, z}. Therefore

t(12v2)=vxvxt+vyvyt+vzvztx(12v2)=vxvxx+vyvyx+vzvzxy(12v2)=vxvxy+vyvyy+vzvzyz(12v2)=vxvxz+vyvyz+vzvzz

si31_e

We can use these simplifications during expansion of the partial differentials in Eq. 12.11 to find

ρ(uV+12v2t+vxuV+12v2x+vyuV+12v2y+vzuV+12v2z)=ρ(uVt+12v2t+vx(uVx+12v2x)+vy(uVy+12v2y)+vz(uVz+12v2z))=ρ(uVt+vxvxt+vyvyt+vzvzt+vx(uVx+vxvxx+vyvyx+vzvzx)+vy(uVy+vxvxy+vyvyy+vzvzy)+vz(uVz+vxvxz+vyvyz+vzvzz))

si32_e  (Eq. 12.13)

12.7.2 Simplifications on the Right-Hand Side

This is as far as we can go with simplifying the left-hand side. We now turn to the right-hand side of Eq. 12.9. The conduction terms as well as the contribution from volume heat flow will remain essentially unchanged but we can apply a couple of simplifications on the remaining terms. We will start with the terms originating from the boundary forces and the work performed by volume forces.

(pvx)x+(σxxv)x+(τxyv)x+(τxzv)x(pvy)y+(σyyv)y+(τyxv)y+(τyzv)y(pvz)z+(σzzv)z+(τzxv)z+(τzyv)z=(p(vxx+vyy+vzz)+vxpx+vypy+vzpz)+vx(σxxx+σyxy+σzxx)+σxxvxx+τyxvxy+σzxvxz+vy(σyyy+σxyx+σzyy)+σyyvyy+τxyvyx+σzyvyz+vz(σzzz+σxzx+σyzz)+σzzvzz+τxzvzx+σyxvzy+kxvx+kyvy+kzvz

si33_e  (Eq. 12.14)

Now we will use a couple of equations that we have used before. Eq. 11.19, Eq. 11.20, and Eq. 11.21 state that we can make the following simplifications:

ρvxt+(ρvxvx)x+(ρvyvx)y+(ρvzvx)z=σxxxpx+τyxy+τzxz+kxρvyt+(ρvxvy)x+(ρvyvy)y+(ρvzvy)z=σyyypy+τxyx+τzyz+kyρvzt+(ρvxvz)x+(ρvyvz)y+(ρvzvz)z=σzzzpz+τxzx+τyzy+kz

si34_e

If we rewrite Eq. 12.11, we can see that we can effectively make these simplifications:

p(vxx+vyy+vzz)+vx(px+σxxx+τyxy+τzxz+kx)+σxxvxx+τyxvxy+τzxvxz+vx(py+σyyy+τxyx+τzyz+ky)+σyyvyy+τxyvyx+τzyvyz+vx(pz+σzzz+τxzx+τyzy+kz)+σzzvzz+τxzvzx+τyzvzy=p(vxx+vyy+vzz)+vx(ρvxt+(ρvxvx)x+(ρvyvx)y+(ρvzvx)z)+σxxvxx+τyxvxy+τzxvxz+vy(ρvyt+(ρvxvy)x+(ρvyvy)y+(ρvzvy)z)+σyyvyy+τxyvyx+τzyvyz+vz(ρvzt+(ρvxvz)x+(ρvyvz)y+(ρvzvz)z)+σzzvzz+τxzvzx+τyzvzz

si35_e  (Eq. 12.15)

We will now expand the partial differentials in the brackets whereby we can again use the simplification given by the continuity equation (see Eq. 12.12).

ρvxt+(ρvxvx)x+(ρvyvx)y+(ρvzvx)z=vx(ρt+2(ρvx)xx+2(ρvy)yy+2(ρvz)zz)+ρvxt+(ρvx)vxx+(ρvy)vxy+(ρvz)vxz=ρvxt+(ρvx)vxx+(ρvy)vxy+(ρvz)vxz

si36_e  (Eq. 12.16)

ρvyt+(ρvxvy)x+(ρvyvy)y+(ρvzvy)z=vy(ρt+2(ρvx)xx+2(ρvy)yy+2(ρvz)zz)+ρvyt+(ρvx)vyx+(ρvy)vyy+(ρvz)vyz=ρvyt+(ρvx)vyx+(ρvy)vyy+(ρvz)vyz

si37_e  (Eq. 12.17)

ρvzt+(ρvxvz)x+(ρvyvz)y+(ρvzvz)z=vz(ρt+2(ρvx)xx+2(ρvy)yy+2(ρvz)zz)+ρvzt+(ρvx)vzx+(ρvy)vzy+(ρvz)vzz=ρvzt+(ρvx)vzx+(ρvy)vzy+(ρvz)vzz

si38_e  (Eq. 12.18)

So substituting Eq. 12.16, Eq. 12.17, and Eq. 12.18 into Eq. 12.15 results in the following term

p(vxx+vyy+vxx)+vx(ρvxt+(ρvx)vxx+(ρvy)vxy+(ρvz)+vxz)+σxxvxx+τyxvxy+τzxvxz+vy(ρvyt+(ρvx)vyx+(ρvy)vxy+(ρvz)+vyz)+σyyvyy+τxyvyx+τzyvyz+vz(ρvzt+(ρvx)vzx+(ρvy)vzy+(ρvz)+vzz)+σzzvzz+τxzvzx+τyzvzy

si39_e

which we reintroduce in the right-hand side of Eq. 12.9. Setting this equation against the modified left-hand side given in Eq. 12.13 results in

ρ(uVt+vxvxt+vyvyt+vzvzt+vx(uVx+vxvxx+vyvyx+vzvzx)+vy(uVy+vxvxy+vyvyy+vzvzy)+vz(uVz+vxvxz+vyvyz+vzvzz))=x(λTx)+y(λTy)+z(λTz)-p(vxx+vyy+vzz)+vx(ρvxt+(ρvx)vxx+(ρvy)vxy+(ρvz)vxz)+σxxvxx+τyxvxy+vzxvxz+vy(ρvyt+(ρvx)vyx+(ρvy)vyy+(ρvz)vyz)+σyyvyy+τxyvyx+τzyvyz+vz(ρvzt+(ρvx)vzx+(ρvy)vzy+(ρvz)vzz)+σzzvzz+τxzvzz+τyzvzy+˙qv

si40_e  (Eq. 12.19)

As we can see, a number of terms can be dropped, after which the equation simplifies to

ρ(uVt+vxuVx+vyuVy+vzuVz)=x(λTx)+y(λTy)+z(λTz)p(˙v)+ρ˙qV+σxxvxx+τyxvxy+τzxvxz+σyyvyy+τxyvyx+τzyvyz+σzzvzz+τxzvzx+τyzvzy

si41_e  (Eq. 12.20)

where we used the vector notation

p(˙v)=p(vxx+vyy+vzz)

si42_e

Eq. 12.20 is the conservation of energy in its most general form.

12.7.3 Dissipation Coefficient

The equation is often further structured by combining all normal and shear force terms into a dissipation coefficient Ψ. These terms combine the influence of fluid friction and thereby the loss of energy because of internal friction, a process referred to as dissipation. In order to do so, we will again convert the normal and shear forces into functions of the shear rate, i.e., the partial derivatives of the velocity terms using the Stokes’ friction approach given by Eq. 11.22, Eq. 11.23, Eq. 11.24, Eq. 11.25, Eq. 11.26, and Eq. 11.27. Introducing Ψ allows us to rewrite (see Eq. 12.20) as

ρ(uVt+vxuVx+vyuVy+vzuVz)=x(λTx)+y(λTy)+z(λTz)p(v)+ρ˙qV+nΨ

si43_e  (Eq. 12.21)

where Ψ is given as

ηΨ=σxxvxx+τyxvxy+τzxvxz+σyyvyy+τxyvyx+τzyvyz+σzzvzz+τxzvzx+τyzvzy=(2ηvxx23η(vxx+vyy+vzz))vxx+(η(vyx+vxy))vxy+(η(vxz+vzx))vxz+(2ηvyy23η(vxx+vyy+vzz))vyy+(η(vyx+vxy))vyx+(η(vzy+vyz))vyz+(2ηvzz23η(vxx+vyy+vzz))vzz+(η(vxz+vzx))vzx+(η(vzy+vyz))vzy=η(2((vxx)2+(vyy)2+(vzz)2)23(vxx+vyy+vzz)2+(vyx+vxy)2+(vxz+vzx)2+(vzy+vyz))2

si44_e

which simplifies to

Ψ=2((vxx)2+(vyy)2+(vzz)2)23(vxx+vyy+vzz)2+(vyx+vxy)2+(vxz+vzx)2+(vzy+vyz)2

si45_e  (Eq. 12.22)

12.8 Thermodynamic Equation of State

As stated in section 10.1.1 the last equation required in order to derive all field variables is a thermodynamic equation of state. This equation allows us to express the internal energy terms in Eq. 12.21 as functions of the other field variables, i.e., pressure p, density ρ, temperature T, and the velocity vsi46_e. In the following example, we will employ the thermodynamic equation of state for an ideal gas that is given by Eq. 6.58. Using this equation, we can write the partial differentials of the internal energy U with respect to i = {T, x, y, z} as

ui=cpTi(1ρpi+pi(1ρ))=cpTi(1ρpipρ2ρi)=cpTi1ρpi+pρ2ρi

si47_e

where we used the chain rule of differentiation (see Eq. 3.14) to expand the partial differential 1ρisi48_e. Now we can rewrite Eq. 12.21 as

ρ(cpTt1ρpt+pρ2ρt+vx(cpTx1ρpx+pρ2ρx)+vy(cpTy1ρpy+pρ2ρy)+vz(cpTz1ρpz+pρ2ρz))=x(λTx)+y(λTy)+z(λTz)+ρ˙qV+ηΨp(vxx+vyy+vzz)

si49_e

which can be rearranged to

ρcp(Tt+Tx+Ty+Tz)=(pt+vxpx+vypy+vzpz)+pρ(pt+vxpx+vypy+vzpz+ρvxx+ρvyy+ρvzz)=(pt+vxpx+vypy+vzpz)+x(λTx)+y(λTy)+z(λTz)+ρ˙qV+ηΨ

si50_e  (Eq. 12.23)

where we have used the continuity equation (see Eq. 10.16) to set

ρt+vxρx+vyρy+vzρz+ρvxx+ρvyy+ρvzz=ρt+(ρvx)x+(ρvy)y+(ρvz)z=0

si51_e

We have now derived the combined equation for the thermodynamic state and the conservation of energy that is given by Eq. 12.23. As can be seen, the equation is now dependent only on the six field variables, i.e., temperature T, density ρ, pressure p, and velocity vsi46_e. Adding the Navier-Stokes equation and the conservation of mass will result in a total of five equations that we can use to solve for the field variables. The sixth equation we can use is the ideal gas equation (see Eq. 6.4).

12.9 Summary

In this section, we derived the energy equation, i.e., the conservation of energy that gives rise to the fifth equation required for solving the field variables. As stated, in the case of incompressible fluids, the density ρ is constant, and therefore we require a total of only five equations. If the flow problem involves compressible fluids, we need one additional equation. This equation is usually the thermodynamic equation of state and is derived directly from the ideal gas law. This completes the derivation of the fundamental equations because we have now the required number of equations for the field variables.
