Abstract Underlying the classical thermodynamic principles are analogous microscopic laws, arising from fundamental axioms of quantum mechanics. These define variables such as work and heat characterize possible transformations open systems. The foremost law is a simple statement concerning conservation energy. Nevertheless, there exist ambiguity disagreement regarding precise partition system’...

current approaches to the analysis of internal combustion engines are no longer merely based on the first law of thermodynamics and are conducted from the second law either. the evaluation of processes by the first law cannot provide a sophisticated insight into the issue. so, due to the necessity of having a detailed perspective of the losses in different thermodynamic processes, a useful meth...

Energy and exergy concepts come from thermodynamics laws and are applicable to all fields of science and engineering. This study considers numerical simulations of combustion of hydrogen with air in a constant pressure environment and exergy terms according to first and second laws analysis using homemade code. Chemical kinetic model includes 20 reactions and 9 species.  At the first stage of p...

Exergy analysis is based on combined first and second laws of thermodynamics and is a useful tool to analyze the energy systems in a better and more realistic way than an energy analysis, based on the first law of thermodynamics. Combination of exergy from thermodynamics with conventional concepts from engineering economy which is referred to as thermo-economy (exergo-economy) is a valuable too...

This paper aims at studying a trigeneration system, based on an internal combustion engine and a steam ejector refrigeration system. The designed cycle is to generate cooling and heating energies, and supply power simultaneously. The cycle is studied from thermodynamics point of view and for this purpose, the first law of thermodynamics is applied to all components of the cycle. The efficiency ...

Using the generalized procedure proposed by Wu et al23 recently, we construct the first law of thermodynamics on apparent horizon in a general braneworld model with curvature correction terms on the brane and in the bulk, respectively. The explicit entropy formulary of apparent horizon in the general braneworld is worked out. We also discuss the masslike function which associated with a new typ...
