1. Thermodynamic analysis methods
For the thermodynamic sciences, the main, general laws of nature are formulated by the first and second principles.
Based on these two principles, phenomenological thermodynamics has developed methods for analyzing thermal systems.
1.1 Energy method
The energy method is based on the first principle of thermodynamics and the notion of energy.
Energy is a conservative quantity; it cannot be destroyed, but is transformed from one form to another in a thermodynamic process.
For a system represented by a control volume (figure 1 ) and for an external observer (as required by phenomenological...
