Which property is called the steady-flow availability function?

  • A.\(b = h - T_{0}s\) (per unit mass)
  • B.\(b = u + h - T_{0}s\) (per unit mass)
  • C.\(b = u + P_{0}v - T_{0}s\) (per unit mass)
  • D.\(b = P_{0}v - T_{0}s\) (per unit mass)

Answer: A

The steady-flow availability function is \(b = h - T_{0}s\) per unit mass, where \(h\) is the enthalpy, \(T_0\) the temperature of the surroundings and \(s\) the entropy. It is the maximum useful work obtainable from a steady flow stream, and it is also called the Keenan function. The expression \(u + P_0 v - T_0 s\) is the non-flow availability function, which is the one for a closed system, so the third option is wrong, and the other two are not the standard availability functions.
