What is pure substance?
 A substance that has a fixed chemical composition throughout is called a pure
substance. Example: Water, nitrogen, helium, and carbon dioxide.
 Chemical elements and compounds are pure substances.
 A mixture of various chemical elements or compounds also qualifies as a pure substance as long as
the mixture is homogeneous. Example: Air
 A mixture of two or more phases of a pure substance is still a pure substance as long as the
chemical composition of all phases is the same.

A mixture of liquid and gaseous water is a pure


substance, but a mixture of liquid and gaseous air
is not.
3 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.
Phases of a pure substance
 A phase is identified as having a distinct molecular arrangement that is homogeneous
throughout and separated from the others by easily identifiable boundary surfaces.
 The two phases of H2O in iced water represent a good example of this.
 There are three principal phases; solid, liquid, and gas.
 A substance may have several phases within a principal phase, each with a different
molecular structure.
 For example, Carbon, may exist as graphite or diamond in the solid phase.
 Helium has two liquid phases.
 Iron has three solid phases.
 Ice may exist at seven different phases at high pressures.

Phase change process
 There are many practical situations where two phases of a pure substance coexist in
equilibrium.
 Water exists as a mixture of liquid and vapor in the boiler and the condenser of a steam power
plant.
 The refrigerant turns from liquid to vapor in the freezer of a refrigerator.
 As a familiar substance, water is used to demonstrate the basic principles involved.
 Remember, however, that all pure substances exhibit the same general behavior.

Compressed liquid / Subcooled liquid Phase change process
 Water exist in liquid form and when a
1
slight amount of heat is added, the water
wont vaporise.
 As the temperature rises, the liquid water
expands slightly, and so its specific volume
increases.
 As more heat is transferred, the
temperature keeps rising until it reaches
100°C
At 1 atm and 20°C, water exists in the
liquid phase (compressed liquid)
7 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.
Saturated Liquid Phase change process
2
 At this point water is still a liquid, but
any heat addition will cause some of the
liquid to vaporize.
 That is, a phase-change process from
liquid to vapor is about to take place.
 A liquid that is about to vaporize is
called a saturated liquid.

At 1 atm pressure and 100°C, water exists as a


liquid that is ready to vaporize (saturated liquid).

Saturated Liquid-Vapor mixture Phase change process
3
 Once boiling starts, the temperature
stops rising until the liquid is
completely vaporized.
 During a boiling process, the only
change we will observe is a large
increase in the volume and a steady
decline in the liquid level as a result of
more liquid turning to vapor.
As more heat is transferred, part of the
saturated liquid vaporizes (saturated liquid–
vapor mixture)
9 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.
Saturated Vapor Phase change process
4  At this point all the liquid is converted
in to vapor at atmospheric pressure and
100°C.
 If a slight heat is lost then the vapor will
start condensing.
 A vapor that is about to condense is
called a saturated vapor.

At 1 atm pressure, the temperature remains


constant at 100°C until the last drop of liquid is
vaporized (saturated vapor)
10 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.
Superheated Vapor Phase change process
5
 Once the phase-change process is
completed, we are back to a single
phase region again (this time vapor),
and further transfer of heat results in an
increase in both the temperature and
the specific volume.
 A vapor that is not about to condense
(i.e., not a saturated vapor) is called a
As more heat is transferred, the temperature of superheated vapor.
the vapor starts to rise (superheated vapor)

latent heat
 It is the amount of energy absorbed or released during a phase-change process.
 latent heat of fusion: energy absorbed during melting / energy released during
freezing.
 latent heat of vaporization: energy absorbed during vaporization /energy released
during condensation.
 The magnitudes of the latent heats depend on the temperature or pressure at which the phase
change occurs.

13 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


Saturation temperature and saturation pressure
 The temperature at which water starts boiling depends on the pressure; therefore, if the
pressure is fixed, so is the boiling temperature.
 At a given pressure, the temperature at which a pure substance changes phase is called the
saturation temperature Tsat.
 at a given temperature, the pressure at which a pure substance changes phase is called the
saturation pressure Psat.
 At Pressure 101.325 Kpa, Tsat is 100oC.
 If the pressure inside the cylinder were raised to 500 kPa by adding weights on top of the
piston, water would start boiling at 151.88oC

14 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


Saturation temperature and saturation pressure
 Tsat increases with Psat. Thus, a substance at higher
pressures boils at higher temperatures.

15 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


Consequences of Tsat and Psat Dependence
 vacuum cooling

• Based on reducing the pressure of the sealed


cooling chamber to the saturation pressure at the
desired low temperature and evaporating some
water from the products to be cooled.
• Its expensive and fast cooling which is more
desirable for products with larger surface area to
mass ratio like lettuce and spinach.

Vacuum freezing

17 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


Property diagrams for phase-change processes
 The variations of properties during phase-change processes are best studied and
understood with the help of property diagrams.
The T-v Diagram
• Adding weight on top of the piston rises the
pressure which is accompanied by :
• State 1: smaller specific volume
• State 2: elevated saturation temperature
and increased specific volume

18 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


The T-v Diagram
 State 3: shorter line connecting the saturated states.
 State 4: lesser specific volume.
 State 5: lesser specific volume for the same temperature value.
 As we keep increasing the pressure the line connecting the saturated liquid and saturated
vapor shorten and become a point; which is called critical point.
 At critical point the saturated liquid and saturated vapor are identical.
 At critical point we have critical properties; such as critical pressure, critical temperature,
critical specific volume etc…
 Pcr =5 22.06 MPa, Tcr =5 373.958oC, and vcr =5 0.003106 m3/kg

19 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


The T-v Diagram
 At supercritical pressures (P > Pcr), there is no distinct
phase-change (boiling) process.
 there is no line that separates the compressed liquid region
and the superheated vapor region.
 Its considered as superheated vapor at temperatures above
critical temperature and compressed liquid at
temperatures lower than critical temperature.
 A saturation dome is formed connecting all the saturated
liquid and saturated vapor points .

The P-v Diagram
 Its much like that of T-v diagram except the constant
temperature line has a downward trend.
 Consider a compressed liquid at 1 MPa and 150℃.
 As mass is removed gradually the pressure reduced.
 To keep the temperature constant, the water exchange heat with
the environment.
 When the pressure reaches 0.4762MPa, the water starts
vaporizing. At this point we stop removing weight.
 During vaporization both pressure and temperature are
constant.

The P-v Diagram

23 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


The P-v Diagram
 It can be extended to include the solid phase.
 under some conditions all three phases of a pure substance coexist in equilibrium.
 On P-v or T-v diagrams, these triple-phase states form a line called the triple line.
 The states on the triple line of a substance have the same pressure and temperature but
different specific volumes.
 The triple line appears as a point on the P-T diagrams and, therefore, is often called the triple
point.
 For water, the triple-point temperature and pressure are 0.01°C and 0.6117 kPa,
respectively.

The P-v Diagram

25 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


The P-v Diagram
 At triple point all the three phases coexist in equilibrium.
 No substance can exist in the liquid phase in stable equilibrium at
 𝑃 < 𝑃𝑡𝑝 for all substances and
 𝑇 < 𝑇𝑡𝑝 for substance that contract during freeing.
 substances at high pressures can exist in the liquid phase at temperatures below
the triple-point temperature.
 water cannot exist in liquid form in equilibrium at atmospheric pressure at temperatures
below 0°C, but it can exist as a liquid at −20°C at 200 MPa pressure.
 Passing from the solid phase directly into the vapor phase is called sublimation.
 occurs at pressures below the triple point value, since a pure substance cannot exist in the
liquid phase at those pressures.

26 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


The P-T Diagram
 This diagram is often called the phase diagram since all three phases are separated from each
other by three lines.
 The sublimation line separates the solid and vapor regions.
 The vaporization line separates the liquid and vapor regions and
 The melting (or fusion) line separates the solid and liquid regions.
 These three lines meet at the triple point, where all three phases coexist in equilibrium.
 The vaporization line ends at the critical point because no distinction can be made between liquid
and vapor phases above the critical point.
 Substances that expand and contract on freezing differ only in the melting line on the P-T diagram.

The P-v-T Surface
 we can represent the P-v-T behavior of a substance as a surface in space.
 Here T and v may be viewed as the independent variables (the base) and P as the
dependent variable (the height).
 All the points on the surface represent equilibrium states. All states along the path of a
quasi-equilibrium process lie on the P-v-T surface since such a process must pass through
equilibrium states.
 All the two-dimensional diagrams we have discussed so far are merely projections of this
three-dimensional surface onto the appropriate planes

Property tables
 the relationships among thermodynamic properties are too complex to be expressed by
simple equations.
 Some properties can be measured and others can be calculated and found by some relations.
 The results of these measurements and calculations are presented in tables in a convenient
format.
 the steam tables are used to demonstrate the use of thermodynamic property tables.
 Before we get into the discussion of property tables, we define a new property called
enthalpy.

31 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


Enthalpy
 It’s a combination property, most often in analysis of
certain types of process (in power generation and
refrigeration) we encounter with internal energy (u) and
Pv.
 Grouping them simplifies the equation and the
summation of the two is called enthalpy (h).

ℎ = 𝑢 + 𝑃𝑣 (kJ/kg)

H = 𝑈 + 𝑃𝑉 (kJ)

32 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


Saturated Liquid and Saturated Vapor States
 The subscript f is used to denote properties of a
saturated liquid and the subscript g to denote the
properties of saturated vapor.
 The subscript commonly used is fg, which
denotes the difference between the saturated
vapor and saturated liquid values of the same
property.
 𝑣𝑓 = specific volume of saturated liquid
 𝑣𝑔 = specific volume of saturated vapor
 𝑣𝑓𝑔 = 𝑣𝑔 − 𝑣𝑓
 ℎ𝑓𝑔 represent the enthalpy of vaporization /
latent heat of vaporization. (zero at the
critical point)

pressure of 100 kPa. Determine (a) the volume change and (b) the amount of
energy transferred to the water.

35 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


Saturated Liquid–Vapor Mixture
 we need to know the proportions of the liquid and vapor phases in the mixture.
 This is done by defining a new property called the quality x as the ratio of the mass
of vapor to the total mass of the mixture:
𝑚𝑣𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑟
 𝑥= where; 𝑚𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑚𝑣𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑟 + 𝑚𝑙𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑑
𝑚𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙
 Quality has significance for saturated mixtures only.
 Its value is between 0 (saturated liquid) and 1 (saturated vapor).
 A saturated mixture can be treated as a combination of two subsystems.

36 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


Saturated Liquid–Vapor Mixture
 Consider a tank that contains a saturated liquid–vapor mixture. The volume
occupied by saturated liquid is Vf , and the volume occupied by saturated vapor is
Vg. The total volume V is the sum of the two:

Superheated Vapor
 We have superheated region to the right side of saturated vapor line and also above critical
temperature.
 Since we have single phase temperature and pressure are independent.
 Compered to saturated vapor, this region is characterised by:
 Lower pressures (P < Psat at a given T )
 Higher temperatures (T > Tsat at a given P)
 Higher specific volumes (v > vg at a given P or T)
 Higher internal energies (u > ug at a given P or T )
 Higher enthalpies (h > hg at a given P or T)

Compressed Liquid
 Compressed liquid tables are not as commonly available.
 They are very much like the format of the superheated vapor tables.
 Variation of properties of compressed liquid with pressure is very mild.
 In the absence of compressed liquid data, a general approximation is to treat compressed liquid
as saturated liquid at the given temperature.
 𝑦 ≅ 𝑦𝑓@𝑇 where y is v, h, u
 Form the three; v, u and h, enthalpy (h) is sensitive to pressure

 In general, a compressed liquid is characterized by;
 Higher pressures (P > Psat at a given T )
 Lower temperatures (T < Tsat at a given P)
 Lower specific volumes (v < vf at a given P or T)

The ideal gas equation of state
 Property tables give accurate information about properties of a system but they are bulky
and prone to typographic error.
 It is desirable to have some relation among properties which is general and accurate.
 Any equation that relates the pressure, temperature, and specific volume of a substance is
called an equation of state.
 The simplest and best-known equation of state for substances in the gas phase is the ideal-
gas equation of state.
 This equation predicts the P-v-T behavior of a gas quite accurately within some properly
selected region.

47 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


The ideal gas equation of state
 The ideal gas equation of state is given by;
𝑃𝑣 = 𝑅𝑇
 Where : P is the absolute pressure in (KPa)
o v is the specific volume in (m3/kg)
o T is absolute temperature in (K)
o R is a gas constant in (kJ/kg.K)
 R is different for different gases and its obtained by:
𝑅𝑢
𝑅=
𝑀
Where Ru is the universal gas constant and M is the molar mass

48 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


The ideal gas equation of state
 molar mass M can simply be defined as the mass of one mole.
 For example; when we say the molar mass of nitrogen is 28, it simply means the mass of 1 kmol of
nitrogen is 28 kg; or 1gmol of nitrogen is 28 g.
 The mass of a system is equal to the product of its molar mass M and the mole number N;
 𝑚 = 𝑁𝑀 (Kg)
 The ideal-gas equation of state can be written in several different forms:
 𝑃𝑉 = 𝑚𝑅𝑇
 𝑃𝑉 = 𝑁𝑅𝑢 𝑇
 𝑃 𝑣ҧ = 𝑅𝑢 𝑇

49 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


The ideal gas equation of state
 For a fixed mass writing the ideal gas equation twice at two states :
𝑃1 𝑉1 𝑃2 𝑉2
 =
𝑇1 𝑇2
 An ideal gas is an imaginary substance that obeys the ideal gas relation.
 Real gases behave as ideal gas at lower density, i.e at lower pressure and higher temperature.
 Dense gases such as water vapor in steam power plants and refrigerant vapor in refrigerators,
however, should not be treated as ideal gases, instead property tables are used.

50 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


At lower pressures below 10 kPa water vapour
can be treated as an ideal gas regardless of
temperature with negligible error.

 Example:
1. The gage pressure of an automobile tire is measured to be 210 kPa before a trip
and 220 kPa after the trip at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa.
Assuming the volume of the tire remains constant and the air temperature before
the trip is 25°C, determine air temperature in the tire after the trip.

Compressibility factor Z
 Gases deviate from ideal-gas behavior significantly at states near the saturation
region and the critical point.
 This deviation from ideal-gas behavior at a given temperature and pressure can
accurately be accounted for by the introduction of a correction factor called the
compressibility factor Z.
𝑃𝑣
𝑍= ------------------------ 𝑃𝑣 = 𝑍𝑅𝑇
𝑅𝑇
 It can be also expressed as
𝑣𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑅𝑇
𝑍= ; where is ; 𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙 =
𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑃

53 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.


Compressibility factor Z
 Gases behave very much the same at temperatures and pressures normalized with
respect to their critical temperatures and pressures called reduced temperature and
reduced pressure respectively.
𝑇
 Reduced temperature : 𝑇𝑅 =
𝑇𝑐𝑟
𝑃
 Reduced pressure: 𝑃𝑅 =
𝑃𝑐𝑟
 The Z factor for all gases is approximately the same at the same reduced pressure
and temperature. This is called the principle of corresponding states.

55 lecture notes prepared by Bonsa R.
Compressibility factor Z
 The following observations can be made from the generalized compressibility
chart.
 At very low pressures (PR << 1), gases behave as ideal gases regardless of temperature.
 At high temperatures (TR > 2), ideal-gas behavior can be assumed with good accuracy
regardless of pressure (except when PR >> 1)
 The deviation of a gas from ideal-gas behavior is greatest in the vicinity of the critical
point.

 When T and v or P and v are given instead of T and P the generalized compressibility chart
can still be used to determine the third property (pseudo-reduced specific volume vR)

 Lines of constant vR are also added to the compressibility charts, and this enables one to
determine T or P.

Other Equations of State
 Ideal gas equation of state is simple but with limited rage of application.
 It is desirable to have equations of state that represent the P-v-T behavior of
substances accurately over a larger region with no limitations.
 Such equations are naturally more complicated; several has been proposed.

van der Waals Equation of State
 Van der Waals equation improves the ideal gas equation by considering the effects
of intermolecular attraction forces and volume occupied by the molecules
themselves.
𝑎
 𝑃+ 𝑣 − 𝑏 = 𝑅𝑇

 The two constants a and b are determined at critical point of the substance, where the
𝑎
intermolecular force is accounted by the term 2 and that of volume occupied by

 As the pressure increases, the volume occupied by the molecules becomes an
increasingly significant part of the total volume

 The equation of state of a substance can also be expressed in a series form

 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.
