Learning objectives
By the end of this chapter you will be able to:
Define pure substance and phase of a pure substance.
Explain phase change process using property diagrams.
Use steam table to get property values at different regions of phase change process.
Differentiate ideal gases from real gases.
Used ideal gas equation of state to determine unknown properties.
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of ideal gas equation of state and other
equations of states.
Vacuum freezing
ℎ = 𝑢 + 𝑃𝑣 (kJ/kg)
H = 𝑈 + 𝑃𝑉 (kJ)
More generally
Where y can be; u , h, or v
Lines of constant vR are also added to the compressibility charts, and this enables one to
determine T or P.
Its desirable to express the constants a and b over wide range instead of
single point.
Where
The values of the constants appearing in this equation are given in Table 3–4.
This equation can handle substances at densities up to about 2.5ρcr.
coefficients a(T), b(T), c(T), and so on, that are functions of temperature alone are
called virial coefficients.
These coefficients can be determined experimentally or theoretically from statistical
mechanics.
As pressure approaches zero, all the viral coefficients vanish and we remain with the
ideal gas equation.
