PURE SUBSTANCE
ƒ Pure substance: A substance that has a fixed chemical
composition throughout.
ƒ Air is a mixture of several gases, but it is considered to
be a pure substance.

Nitrogen and gaseous air are A mixture of liquid and gaseous


pure substances. water is a pure substance, but a
mixture of liquid and gaseous air4
is not.
PHASES OF A PURE SUBSTANCE

The molecules in a
solid are kept at
their positions by
the large springlike
inter-molecular
forces.

In a solid, the attractive


and repulsive forces
between the molecules
tend to maintain them at
relatively constant
distances from each other.
PHASE-CHANGE PROCESSES OF
PURE SUBSTANCES
Let us consider the following system undergoes heating process at constant pressure.

At 1 atm and 20°C, At 1 atm pressure


water exists in the and 100°C, water
liquid phase exists as a liquid
(compressed that is ready to

vaporize).

PHASE-CHANGE PROCESSES OF
PURE SUBSTANCES (cont’d)
The constant pressure heating process (state 1 - 5) can be illustrated in the
following figure known as the T-v Diagram

Saturation state: State at which a


phase change begins or ends

T-v diagram for the


heating process of
water at constant
pressure.
Consider repeating this process for other constant pressure lines as
shown below. (Where are the saturated liquid and vapour line?)
Critical point: The point at which
the saturated liquid and saturated
vapor states are identical.
SATURATION TEMPERATURE
AND SATURATION PRESSURE
ƒ The temperature at which water starts boiling depends
on the pressure; therefore, if the pressure is fixed, so is
the boiling temperature.

ƒ Water boils at 100 C at 1 atm pressure.

ƒ Saturation temperature Tsat: The temperature at


which a pure substance changes phase at a given
pressure.

ƒ Saturation pressure Psat: The pressure at which a


pure substance changes phase at a given
temperature.

ƒ Triple line: All 3 phases of a pure substance coexist in equilibrium


(substance have same P & T but different v)
PHASE DIAGRAM

At triple-point pressure and


temperature, a substance
exists in three phases in
equilibrium.

For water,
Ttp = 0.01°C
Ptp = 0.6117 kPa

At low pressures (below


the triple-point value),
solids evaporate without
melting first (sublimation).

phase.
PVT SURFACE

that contracts on freezing. expands on freezing (like water).

The P-v-T surfaces present a great deal of information at once, but in a thermodynamic
analysis it is more convenient to work with two-dimensional diagrams, such as the P-v
and T-v diagrams.
PROPERTY TABLES
ƒ For most substances, the relationships among thermodynamic properties
are too complex to be expressed by simple equations.

ƒ Therefore, properties are frequently presented in the form of tables.

Subscript f – properties of saturated liquid


Subscript g – properties of saturated vapour
Subscript fg – difference between properties of saturated vapor and saturated liquid
(value of g – value of f ) 4
ENTHALPY & ENTROPY
ƒ Some thermodynamic properties can be measured easily, but others
cannot and are calculated by using the relations between them and
measurable properties.

Enthalpy—A Combination Property


The combination u + Pv is frequently
encountered in the analysis of control
volumes.

Entropy – A property associated with the 2nd Law of


Thermodynamics, and will be defined in later
chapter.

Saturated Liquid–Vapor
Mixture
ƒ The relative amounts of liquid and vapor
phases in a saturated mixture are specified
by the quality x.

Quality is between 0 and 1


0: sat. liquid, 1: sat. vapor.

Quality has significance for saturated mixtures only, no meaning in


the compressed liquid or superheated vapor regions. 7

between the vf and vg values at the specified T or P,

for 6 MPa and plot the states on T-v, and P-v diagrams.

1. Dry saturated or saturated vapor

2. Wet saturated or saturated liquid

3. Moisture = 5%

4. T = 635 C

5. T = 100 C

14
Solution (cont’d)
4. P = 6 MPa, T = 635 C
For P = 60 bar, Table A-5 or F10 gives Tsat = 275.6 C.
Since 635 C > Tsat for this pressure, the state is superheated.
Use Table A-6 or F11. Since no values for P=6 MPa, use interpolation.

mass of the saturated liquid is 1.78 kg, and the mass of the saturated
vapor is 0.22 kg. Heat is added to the water until the pressure
increases to 8 MPa. Find the final temperature, enthalpy, and internal
energy of the water. Does the liquid level rise or fall? Plot this process
on a P-v diagram with respect to the saturation lines and the critical
point.

THE IDEAL-GAS EQUATION
OF STATE
ƒ Equation of state: Any equation that relates the pressure,
temperature, and specific volume of a substance.

ƒ The simplest and best-known equation of state for substances in the


gas phase is the ideal-gas equation of state.

Ideal gas EoS


If a gas obeys this relation it is called an ideal gas.

P: absolute pressure (kPa)


T: absolute temperature (K)
v: specific volume
R: gas constant

Is Water Vapor an Ideal Gas?

ƒ At pressures below 10 kPa,


water vapor can be treated as
an ideal gas, regardless of its
temperature, with negligible
error (less than 0.1 percent).

ƒ At higher pressures, however,


the ideal gas assumption yields
unacceptable errors,
particularly in the vicinity of the
critical point and the saturated
vapor line.

Percentage of error ([|vtable - videal|/vtable] 100)


involved in assuming steam to be an ideal
gas, and the region where steam can be
treated as an ideal gas with less than 1
7
percent error.
EXAMPLE 1(a)

Determine the specific volume of R-134a at 1 MPa and 70oC,


using ideal gas EOS. Compare the result with the actual value
of 0.024261 m3/kg. (R=0.08149 kJ/kgK)

COMPRESSIBILITY FACTOR

ƒ Gases deviate from ideal-gas behavior significantly at states near


saturation region & critical point.
ƒ This deviation can be accounted for by a compressibility factor (Z)

that measures the deviation of real
gases from ideal-gas behavior.
