Conservation of Energy
The law of conservation of energy is an extension of the classical 1st Law of Thermodynamics, which concerns the diff difference i in i internal l energies i of f two equilibrium ilib i states of fa closed system because of the heat added to the system and the work done on the system (U = Q + W) The changes in Kinetic Energy and Internal Energy of a system are related to convective heat transport as well as conductive heat transport due to molecular transport.
Conservation of Energy
(i) Kinetic Energy: Energy due to observable motion of the fluid per unit volume (v is the fluid velocity vector) (ii) Internal I l Energy: E kinetic ki i energies i in i molecules l l + energy d due to vibrations ib i & rotational motions in molecules. Assumption: U = f(, T)
Energy Equations
The rate of energy enters and leaves the faces of volume element: element
where vector e (energy flux) includes convective transport of kinetic and internal energy, the heat conduction, and work associated with molecular processes.
The rate at which work is done on the fluid by y the external force is the dot product of the fluid velocity v and the force acting (gravitational) on the fluid (xyz)g :

This is the general form for equation of change for temperature, in terms of substantial time derivative, heat flux vector q and the viscous momentum flux tensor . Note: P is the pressure and is the fluid density
If Fouriers Law is applied for (q) term, then: q = k2T **Provided the thermal conductivity k is assumed constant
If Newtons Law of Viscosity is applied, the viscous heating term can expressed by:
Note: viscous heating term is normally ignored unless the flow has enormous velocity gradient
The last five equations are the most frequently encountered in te tbooks and research p textbooks publications. blications When the needs for more accuracy y arise, , the less restrictive expressions can be developed from the general form of equations of change. The terms involving chemical, electrical and nuclear sources can be added to the general form of equation of change.
