First Law Analysis of Control Volumes - Thermodynamics

Hello Everyone!

This video is the fifth one in a series of videos discussing the engineering thermodynamics. Here, I will discuss the application of first law of thermodynamics on control volumes. I define the mass flow rate and conservation of mass, discuss flow work and the total energy carried by a flowing fluid, and talk about steady and unsteady flows and control volumes.

Make sure to check the sample problems from the topics covered in the link below:
