Surrounding Work:Surrounding Work: is the work done by or against the is the work done by or against the surroundings during a process. It has significance only for a surroundings during a process. It has significance only for a process where boundary work occurs (closed system).process where boundary work occurs (closed system).

In cases like this the first-law efficiency alone is not a realistic measure of performance of engineering devices.
The second-law efficiency is defined as the ratio of the thermal efficiency to the maximum possible thermal efficiency under the same conditions

a) The work done is the boundary work, from (1) to (1’) is zero since it is a constant volume process; from (1’) to (2) is a constant pressure process. Then the boundary work is given by:
From the total exergy change the only amount of useful work is 1.17kJ everything else is the exergy destroyed, therefore:

Previous equations can be used to determine the reversible work by making the exergy destruction term equal to zero since (i.e. no irreversibilities implies no exergy destruction)

Example:
Solution:
We need to determine the exergy destroyed during this process. In this case the easiest way is by:
This equation leads us to find the entropy generated which is given by doing an entropy balance:
From table at 200 psia:
State (1) sat. liquid: h1=355.46 Btu/lbm s1=0.54379Btu/lbm.R
State (2) sat. vapor: h2=1198.8 Btu/lbm s2=1.5460 Btu/lbm.R
At environment conditions (P0=14.7 psia, To=80°F comp. liq.):
h0=48.07 Btu/lbm s0=0.09328 Btu/lbm.R

We need to determine q in the previous equation, we obtain this by doing an energy balance:
q – w = (h2 – h1) since there is no work we have:q = 1198.8 – 355.46 = 843.34 Btu/lbm
Now we can determine the entropy generated:
960R is the absolute gas temperature (500°F)
And the exergy destroyed will be:
The exergy 9or work potential) of the steam is given by:
Therefore the temperature of the gases does not affect the exergy of the steam. However it does affect sgen and therefore xdestroyed too.

a) We find the actual work by doing an ener4gy balance:
Kinetic and potential energy changes are assumed to be zero.
Consider specific heats for the enthalpy change. Solving for work we have:

We have an expression for the reversible work from the exergy balance for a single stream:
The ideal situation for a turbine occurs when there are no heat losses, therefore:
