✦ Synopsis

Energy conversion and its efficiency in chemical processes can be treated in the same consistent way as energy conversion in power plants or other devices. For this purpose the energy potentially available as shaft work from all material entities entering or leaving a process has to be evaluated. The available energy will always depend on the properties of the environment; the environment being a source or sink of materials in exactly the same sense as it is a source or sink of heat.

We consider the collapse of a cylindrical cavity in the rotating fluid. A process of gas heating in the cavity is discussed. Ε½ . If chemical reactions e.g. fuel combustion occur in the cavity during its collapse, then the energy yield of this reaction can be used in the process of the subsequent ca

Constitutive equations for nonisothermal chemical reactions are derived with attention to temperature dependent parameters. Equations are also developed for the coupling of chemical reactions to ion transport. The equations are shown to be consistent with the laws of thermodynamics.
