First Law of Thermodynamics

consider a volume tex2html_wrap_inline2499 let tex2html_wrap_inline2501 be the rate of energy got in tex2html_wrap_inline2499 tex2html_wrap_inline2505 is the rate of energy increased in tex2html_wrap_inline2499 tex2html_wrap_inline2509 is the rate of work done by tex2html_wrap_inline2499 on the surroundings. tex2html_wrap_inline2501 are from conduction + radiation + heat source and sink. tex2html_wrap_inline2505 is the rate of increase of internal energy and kinetic energy. tex2html_wrap_inline2509 is the work done by potential forces and work done by stress. From the first law of thermodynamics ( conservation of energy)

displaymath2477

The first bracket is zero by Navier-Stokes equations thus,

displaymath2478

Rate of energy transferred into tex2html_wrap_inline2499

displaymath2479

Net rate of heat conducted into tex2html_wrap_inline2499 in the x direction tex2html_wrap_inline2531

displaymath2480

Similarly for the y and z directions. Thus,

displaymath2481

Then
