Second Law Analysis of Reactive Systems

The reversible work for a steady state flow process, in the absence of changes in K.E. and P.E., is given by

Wrev = Σni(hi - T0si) - Σne(he - T0se)

(3.113)

For an S.S.S.F. process involving a chemical reaction

(3.114)

The irreversibility for such a process is

(3.115)

The availability, Ψ, in the absence of K.E. and P.E. changes, for an S.S.S.F. process is

Ψ = (h - T0s) - (h - T0s0)
