Question
Figure P4.67 illustrates a system and fixed control volume attime t and the system at a short time t later. The system temperatureis T = 100 F at time t and T = 103 F at time t + t, wheret = 0.1 s. The system mass, m, is 2.0 slugs, and 10 percent ofit moves out of the control volume in t = 0.1 s. The energy perunit mass u is cvT, where cv = 32.0 Btu/slug F. The energy Uof the system at any time t is mu. Use the system or Lagrangianapproach to evaluate DU/Dt of the system. Compare this resultwith the DU/Dt evaluated with that of the material time derivativeand flux terms.
Solution
The first step in solving 4.4 problem number 10 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure P4.67 illustrates a system and fixed control volume attime t and the system at a short time t later. The system temperatureis T = 100 F at time t and T = 103 F at time t + t, wheret = 0.1 s. The system mass, m, is 2.0 slugs, and 10 percent ofit moves out of the control volume in t = 0.1 s. The energy perunit mass u is cvT, where cv = 32.0 Btu/slug F. The energy Uof the system at any time t is mu. Use the system or Lagrangianapproach to evaluate DU/Dt of the system. Compare this resultwith the DU/Dt evaluated with that of the material time derivativeand flux terms.
From the textbook chapter The Reynolds Transport Theorem you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
