Enthalpy natural variable equations

Standard thermodynamic formalism for the total differential of specific enthalpy in terms of its natural variables (i.e., via Legendre transformation, see equations 29-20 and 29-24b) allows one to calculate the pressure coefQdent of specific enthalpy via a Maxwell relation and the definition of the coefficient of thermal expansion, a. 

Step 2. Use the total differential of specific enthalpy in terms of its natural variables, via Legendre transformation of the internal energy from classical thermodynamics, to re-express the pressure gradient in the momentum balance in terms of enthalpy, entropy, and mass fractions. Then, write the equation of change for kinetic energy in terms of specific enthalpy and entropy. 

SOLUTION. Begin with the total differential of extensive enthalpy of a multi-component mixture in terms of its natural variables via equation (29-24b) and the definition of C ... 

The Gibbs free energy is one of the most important fundamental functions. Constant temperature and pressure arc the easiest constraints to impose in the laboratory, because the atmosphere provides them. T, p, and N are the natural variables for the Gibbs free energy G = G(T, p,N), which has a minimum at equilibrium. To find the fundamental equation, start with the enthalpy, H = H(S, p,N). Now we want to replace the dS term with a dT term in the equation dH = TdS -t Vdp + Zjii Define a function G ... 

Again, this is not a useful spontaneity condition unless we can keep the system isen-tropic. Because p and S must be constant in order for the enthalpy change to act as a spontaneity condition, p and S are the natural variables for enthalpy. Equation 4.4 does suggest why many spontaneous changes are exothermic, however. Many processes occur against a constant pressure that of the atmosphere. Constant pressure is half of the requirement for enthalpy changes to dictate spontaneity. However, it is not sufficient, because for many processes the entropy change is not zero. 

Note that the fundamental equations (f) express a change of internal energy dll when the entropy dS and the volume dV are changed. It is said that S, V) are the natural variables of the internal energy U = U S,V), because dU has a particularly simple relation to dS and dV. Correspondingly, S,p) axe the natural variables for enthalpy H = and (T,p) are the natural variables for the... 

Relative activation enthalpies (Aif) in Table 2 were converted to o% kx k ) at 298 K, and were plotted against Hammett a constants. Here, we used enthalpies, because the size of the entropy and hence the free energy depend much on low frequencies, which are less reliable than higher frequencies, especially for compounds with weak interactions such as TS (8). The use of free energy (AG ) gave similar correlations with more scattered points. As for the Hammett o constant, we used dual-parameter o constants in the form of the Yukawa-Tsuno equation (LArSR equation) (9) as defined in eq 3. Here, the apparent a constant (aapp) has a variable resonance contribution parameter (r), which varies depending on the nature of the reaction examined for t-cumyl... 

Find the natural independent variables for the enthalpy H, starting with Equation (6.111) and the definition of H, [Equation (4.3)]. 

Christiansen et al. (54) applied the Naphtali-Sandholm method to natural gas mixtures. They replaced the equilibrium relationships and component vapor rates with the bubble-point equation and total liquid rate to get practically half the number of functions and variables [to iV(C + 2)]. By exclusively using the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state, they were able to use analytical derivatives of revalues and enthalpies with respect to composition and temperature. To improve stability in the calculation, they limited the changes in the independent variables between trials to where each change did not exceed a preset maximum. There is a Naphtali-Sandholm method in the FraChem program of OLI Systems, Florham Park, New Jersey CHEMCAD of Coade Inc, of Houston, Texas PRO/II of Simulation Sciences of Fullerton, California and Distil-R of TECS Software, Houston, Texas. Variations of the Naphtali-Sandholm method are used in other methods such as the homotopy methods (Sec. 4,2.12) and the nonequilibrium methods (Sec. 4.2.13). 

Switching to the variables [>5,P], we find enthalpy to be just the natural energy function. Enthalpy has been defined in Equation (4.19) as... 

In fluid mechanics it might be natural to employ mass based thermodynamic properties whereas the classical thermodynamics convention is to use mole based variables. It follows that the extensive thermodynamic functions (e.g., internal energy, Gibbs free energy, Helmholtz energy, enthalpy, entropy, and specific volume) can be expressed in both ways, either in terms of mass or mole. The two forms of the Gibbs-Duhem equation are ...
