Definition of Thermodynamic Work • Positive work is done by a system, during a given process, when the sole effect external to the system could be reduced to the rise of a weight. • This definition may appear arbitrary. • This is enforced on the readers/users to identify all possible work actions in engineering.
Discussion of the Definition • Positive work is done by a system, during a given process, when the sole effect external to the system could be reduced to the rise of a weight. • Rise of weight is obviously work. • Sole Effect: Entire effect (100 %) • External: Only at the boundary or magnitude depends on the boundary • Could be reduced to: It need not be just rise of weight. Any thing that can be translated into to rise of weight. • Will it consider Mechanical work?

Negative Work • When a system does positive work, its surroundings do an equal quantity of negative work. • Conversely, when surroundings do positive work, the system does and equal quantity of negative work.
Types of Work Transfers • Moving Boundary work (displacement work) – Extrusion – Metal cutting – Forging • Electrical work • Shaft work • Flowing fluid work
Displacement work : Extrusion • Extrusion is the process by which a block/billet of metal is reduced in cross section by forcing it to flow through a die orifice under high pressure. • Most metals are hot extruded due to large amount of forces required in extrusion.

Simple Processes for Displacement Work
Study of Pressure-Volume Diagrams. • The rapid rise in pressure during initial ram travel is due to the initial compression of the billet to fill the extrusion container. • For direct extrusion, the metal begins to flow through the die at the maximum pressure. • This pressure is called as the breakthrough pressure. • As the billet extrudes through the die the pressure required to maintain flow progressively decreases with decreasing length of the billet in the container. • At the end of the stroke, the pressure rises up rapidly and it is usual to stop the ram travel so as to leave a small discard in the container.
