Firstly, the generalized Pfaff-Birkhoff principle and the generalized Birkhoff equations are established, and the definition of the integrating factors for the system is given. Secondly, based on the concept of integrating factors, the conservation theorems and their inverse for the generalized Birkhoff system in the event space are presented in detail, and the relation between the conservation laws and the integrating factors of the system is obtained and the generalized Killing equations for the determination of the integrating factors are given. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.展开更多

This definition relates thermodynamic equilibrium to its physical causes and accounts for all factors that determine it for all types of equilibrium. Standard definitions of thermodynamic equilibrium are incomplete. They do not take account of all factors that determine such equilibriums, discuss the impediments which may prevent them being reached or relate the properties that define equilibriums to the physical reasons that determine them when impediments are present. The laws of thermodynamics determine the requirements for equilibrium. These laws arise from the physical behaviour of the molecules in molecular systems and are consequences of the conservation of energy, the energies of molecules, statistics, Newton's laws of motion, and the equi-partition of energy. The standard definition of thermodynamic equilibrium correctly defines equilibrium whenever impediments are not factors. The discussion demonstrates how impediments arise, accounts for their role in defining equilibrium and how they relate to the energies of molecules at the conditions of the system. The new definition applies to all types of equilibrium.展开更多

In this paper, a system comprised of a series flow double effect water-Lithium bromide absorption chiller, a boiler and a cooling tower is studied based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and also exergy analysis is investigated. For this purpose, mass and energy conservation laws governing the system are written, and coefficient of performance of the system, exergy destruction (loss) of each component and exergy efficiency have been calculated.展开更多
