Concept explainers

First law of Thermodynamics

The word thermodynamics consists of two words: thermo- and dynamics. Dynamics means the study of motion. The field of thermodynamics is all about the study of the movement of heat. In a more meaningful way, it is stated as the study of the transfer of energy. Energy transfer is something that we encounter in day-to-day life. Automobiles, chemical reactions, refrigerators, and power generators work on the basis of thermodynamic principles.

In the extrusion of cold chocolate from a tube, work is done on the chocolate by the pressure applied by a ram forcing the chocolate through the tube. The work per unit mass of extruded chocolate is equal to p/r, where p is the difference between the applied pressure and the pressure where the chocolate emerges from the tube, and r is the density of the chocolate. Rather than increasing the temperature of the chocolate, this work melts cocoa fats in the chocolate.These fats have a heat of fusion of 150 kJ/kg.Assume that all of the work goes into that melting and that these fats make up 30% of the chocolate’s mass.What percentage of the fats melt during the extrusion if p = 5.5 MPa and r = 1200 kg/m3?
