Thermodynamic Data ..................................APPENDIX A Thermodynamic data A.l Introduction The thermodynamic tables presented here for enthalpy and internal energy differ from those that are usually available, since they incorporate the enthalpy of formation. This means that there is no need for separate tabulations of calorific values, and it will be found that energy balances for combustion calculations are greatly simplified. The enthalpy of formation (t-.Hf) is perhaps more familiar to physical chemists than to engineers. The enthalpy of formation ( t-.Hf) of a substance is the standard reaction enthalpy for the formation of the compound from its elements in their reference state. The reference state of an element is its most stable state (for example, carbon atoms, but oxygen molecules) at a specified temperature and pressure, usually 298.15 K and a pressure of l bar. In the case of atoms that can exist in different forms, it is necessary to specify their form, for example, carbon is as graphite, not diamond. Combustion calculations are most readily undertaken by using absolute (some­ times known as sensible) internal energies or enthalpy. In steady-flow systems where there is displacement work then enthalpy should be used; this has been illustrated by figure 3.8. When there is no displacement work then internal energy should be used (figure 3.7). Consider now figure 3.8 in more detail. With an adiabatic combustion process from reactants (R) to products (P) the enthalpy is constant, but there is a substantial rise in temperature: (A.l) In the case of the isothermal combustion process (IR ~ IP) the temperature (T) is obviously constant, and the difference in enthalpy corresponds to the isobaric calorific value (-t-.Jfi,): t-.H~ = HR .T- HP,T (A.2) 582 Thermodynamic data A.2 Thermodynamic principles In the following sections, it will be seen how the thermodynamic data for internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs function can all be determined from measurements of heat capacity and phase change enthalpies (or internal energies). Furthermore, when the energy change associated with a chemical reaction is measured, the enthalpy of formation can be deduced. This in turn leads to 'absolute' values of internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy, from which it is possible to derive the equilibrium constant for any reaction. A.2.1 Determination of internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy Figure 3.8 shows that the enthalpies of both reactants and products are in general non-linear functions of temperature. The Absolute Molar Enthalpy tables presented here use a datum of zero enthalpy for elements when they are in their standard state at a temperature of 25°C. The enthalpy of any substance at 25°C will thus correspond to its enthalpy of formation, t.Hf. The use of these tables will be illustrated, after a description of how they have been developed. Tables are not very convenient for computational use, so instead molar enthalpies and other thermodynamic data are evaluated from analytical functions; a popular choice is a simple polynomial. For species i H;(T) =A;+ B;T + C;T2 + D;T3 + E;T4 + F;T5 (A.3) from which it can be deduced (since dH = Cpd1) that Cp,;(T) = B; + 2C;T + 3D;T2 + 4E;T3 + 5F;T4 (A.4) As U = H- RT U;(T) =A;+ (B;- R0 )T + C;T2 + D,T3 + E;T4 + F;T5 (A.5) and dU = CvdT, so Cv,;(T) = (B;- R0 ) + 2C;T + 3D;T2 + 4E;T3 + 5F;r4 (A.6) and as dH = CpdT = TdS dS = (Cp / T)dT integrating equation (A.4) gives s? = B; ln(T) + 2C;T + 3/2D;T2 + 4/3E;T3 + 5/4F;r4 + G; (A.7) where G; is an integration constant that is used to set the zero datum, for example 0 K by Rogers and Mayhew ( 1988) -the same datum does not have to be used as for enthalpy. A more common choice is to use a polynomial function to describe the specific heat capacity variation, and to divide through by the Molar Gas Constant (R0 ) . Equation (A.4) becomes Cp,;(T)/Ro =a;+ b;T + c;T2 + d;T3 + e;T4 (A.8) where a;= B;/R0 , b; = 2C;/R0 , c; = 3D;/R0 etc. Thus H;(T)/Ro = a;T + b;T2 /2 + c;T3 / 3 + d;T4 /4 + e;T5 / 5 +f; (A.9) 584 Introduction to internal combustion engines and s?(T)/R =a; ln(T) + b;T + c;/2T2 + d;/3T3 + e;/4T4 + g; (A.10) A polynomial fit will only be satisfactory over a small temperature range (300- 1000 K or 1000-5000 K), and such polynomial equations ought never to be used outside their range. As the specific heat capacity variation with temperature has a 'knee' between 900 K and 2000 K, a single polynomial is never likely to be satisfactory. Instead, two polynomials can be used which give identical values of Cp at the transition between the low range and the high range (the transition temperature is usually chosen between 1000 and 2000 K). Examples of such polynomials are presented by Gordon and McBride ( 1971), and were used as the basis for constructing the tables used here. The coefficients for the evaluation of the thermodynamic tables are summarised in table A.1. The tables at the end of this Appendix present the enthalpy (H), internal energy (U), entropy (S) and Gibbs energy (G) for gaseous species (table A.4) and fuels (table A.5). The tables have been extrapolated below 300 K, and these data should be used with caution. The entropy datum of zero at 0 K cannot be illustrated by the evaluation of equation (A.1 0), since there is a singularity in this equation at 0 K and in any case there will be phase changes. Phase changes will lead to isothermal changes in entropy, and each different phase will have a different temperature/ entropy relationship. Instead, use is made of the values of entropy for substances at 25°C in their standard state at a pressure of 1 bar. (WARNING- Many sources use a datum pressure of 1 atm.) The entropy can be evaluated at other pressures from: (A.ll) The internal energy ( U) and Gibbs energy (G) are by definition H = U + pV = U +RoT and G0 = H0 - TS0 (A.l2) with the superscript 0 referring to the datum pressure (p0 ) of 1 bar. The Gibbs energy can be evaluated at other pressures in a similar way to the entropy (equation A.11), and through the use of this equation: (A.l3) The changes inS and G between state 1 (p 1, Td and state 2 (p2 , T2), for a gas or vapour, are given by S2- St = (S2 - S~) +(~-Sf)+ (S?- S1) S2 - S1 = (S~- s?)- Ro ln(p2fpl) (A.l4) and G2 - G 1 = (G2 - G~) + (G ~ - G7) + (c? - G t) G2 - G1 = ( G~ - G?) + RoT2ln(p2jp0 )- RoTiln(ptfp0 ) (A.15) When the entropy and Gibbs energy of a mixture are being evaluated, the properties of the individual constituents are summed, but the pressures (p1 and p2 ) now refer to the partial pressures of each constituent. The use of these tables in combustion calculations is best illustrated by an example. Table A.l Coefficients in equations (A.

Haritos Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Iqbal Husain Dr. George R. Newkome Date ii ABSTRACT The efficiencies of a four cylinder direct injection diesel engine have been investigated for the implementation in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The engine was cycled through various operating points depending on the power and torque requirements for the HEV. The selected engine for the HEV is a 2005 Volkswagen 1.9L diesel engine. The 2005 Volkswagen 1.9L diesel engine was tested to develop the steady-state engine efficiencies and to evaluate the transient effects on these efficiencies. The peak torque and power curves were developed using a water brake dynamometer. Once these curves were obtained steady-state testing at various engine speeds and powers was conducted to determine engine efficiencies. Transient operation of the engine was also explored using partial throttle and variable throttle testing. The transient efficiency was compared to the steady-state efficiencies and showed a decrease from the steady- state values.

The Specific Energy Limit Energy is an extensive property, and we know that as we add more mass to a given system, we can easily increase its energy. Specific energy on the other hand is an intensive property. It is defined as the energy divided by the mass and it is measured in units of J/kg.

  • Energy and the Hydrogen Economy
    Energy and the Hydrogen Economy Ulf Bossel Fuel Cell Consultant Morgenacherstrasse 2F CH-5452 Oberrohrdorf / Switzerland +41-56-496-7292 and Baldur Eliasson ABB Switzerland Ltd. Corporate Research CH-5405 Baden-Dättwil / Switzerland Abstract Between production and use any commercial product is subject to the following processes: packaging, transportation, storage and transfer. The same is true for hydrogen in a “Hydrogen Economy”. Hydrogen has to be packaged by compression or liquefaction, it has to be transported by surface vehicles or pipelines, it has to be stored and transferred. Generated by electrolysis or chemistry, the fuel gas has to go through theses market procedures before it can be used by the customer, even if it is produced locally at filling stations. As there are no environmental or energetic advantages in producing hydrogen from natural gas or other hydrocarbons, we do not consider this option, although hydrogen can be chemically synthesized at relative low cost. In the past, hydrogen production and hydrogen use have been addressed by many, assuming that hydrogen gas is just another gaseous energy carrier and that it can be handled much like natural gas in today’s energy economy. With this study we present an analysis of the energy required to operate a pure hydrogen economy. High-grade electricity from renewable or nuclear sources is needed not only to generate hydrogen, but also for all other essential steps of a hydrogen economy. But because of the molecular structure of hydrogen, a hydrogen infrastructure is much more energy-intensive than a natural gas economy. In this study, the energy consumed by each stage is related to the energy content (higher heating value HHV) of the delivered hydrogen itself.

Superconductors can be used to build energy storage systems called Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES), which are promising as inductive pulse power source and suitable for powering electromagnetic launchers. The second generation of high critical temperature superconductors is called coated conductors or REBCO (Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide) tapes. Their current carrying capability in high magnetic field and their thermal stability are expanding the SMES application field. The BOSSE (Bobine Supraconductrice pour le Stockage d’Energie) project aims to develop and to master the use of these superconducting tapes through two prototypes. The first one is a SMES with high energy density. Thanks to the performances of REBCO tapes, the volume energy and specific energy of existing SMES systems can be surpassed. A study has been undertaken to make the best use of the REBCO tapes and to determine the most adapted topology in order to reach our objective, which is to beat the world record of mass energy density for a superconducting coil. This objective is conflicting with the classical strategies of superconducting coil protection. A different protection approach is proposed. The second prototype of the BOSSE project is a small-scale demonstrator of a Superconducting Self-Supplied Electromagnetic Launcher (S3EL), in which a SMES is integrated around the launcher which benefits from the generated magnetic field to increase the thrust applied to the projectile.

  • Specific Energy
    Quantum Mechanics_Specific energy Specific energy SI unit J/kg In SI base units m2/s2 Derivations from other quantities e = E/m Energy density has tables of specific energies of devices and materials. Specific energy is energy per unit mass. (It is also sometimes called "energy density," though "energy density" more precisely means energy per unit volume.) It is used to quantify, for example, stored heat or other thermodynamic propertiesof substances such as specific internal energy, specific enthalpy, specific Gibbs free energy, and specific Helmholtz free energy. It may also be used for the kinetic energy or potential energy of a body. Specific energy is an intensive property, whereas energy and mass are extensive properties. The SI unit for specific energy is the joule per kilogram (J/kg). Other units still in use in some contexts are the kilocalorie per gram (Cal/g or kcal/g), mostly in food-related topics, watt hours per kilogram in the field of batteries, and theImperial unit BTU per pound (BTU/lb), in some engineering and applied technical fields.[1] The gray and sievert are specialized measures for specific energy absorbed by body tissues in the form of radiation. The following table shows the factors for converting to J/kg: Unit SI equivalent kcal/g[2] 4.184 MJ/kg Wh/kg 3.6 kJ/kg kWh/kg 3.6 MJ/kg Btu/lb[3] 2.326 kJ/kg Btu/lb[4] ca. 2.32444 kJ/kg The concept of specific energy is related to but distinct from the chemical notion of molar energy, that is energy per mole of a substance.

A standard battery system that powers electrified vehicles is composed of many individual battery cells, modules and forms a system. Each of these levels have a natural tendency to have a decreased energy density and specific energy compared to their predecessor. This however, is an important factor for the size of the battery system and ultimately, cost and range of the electric vehicle. This study investigated the trends of 25 commercially available BEVs of the years 2010 to 2019 regarding their change in energy density and specific energy of from cell to module to system. Systems are improving. However, specific energy is improving more than energy density.

While this course will not deal exten- sively with fluid mechanics we will be influenced by the governing equations for fluid flow, namely Conservation of Momentum and Conservation of Mass. 1 Examples of Energy Conversion windmills
