Relative enthalpy

Enthalpies are referred to the ideal vapor. The enthalpy of the real vapor is found from zero-pressure heat capacities and from the virial equation of state for non-associated species or, for vapors containing highly dimerized vapors (e.g. organic acids), from the chemical theory of vapor imperfections, as discussed in Chapter 3. For pure components, liquid-phase enthalpies (relative to the ideal vapor) are found from differentiation of the zero-pressure standard-state fugacities these, in turn, are determined from vapor-pressure data, from vapor-phase corrections and liquid-phase densities. If good experimental data are used to determine the standard-state fugacity, the derivative gives enthalpies of liquids to nearly the same precision as that obtained with calorimetric data, and provides reliable heats of vaporization.

This program can be used to calculate the heat input or cooling required for a process unit, where the stream enthalpies relative to the datum temperature can be calculated from the specific heat capacities of the components (equation 3.11).

Absolute values of partial molar enthalpies cannot be determined, just as absolute values of enthalpies cannot be determined. Thus, it is necessary to choose some state as a reference and to express the partial molar enthalpy relative to that reference state. The most convenient choice for the reference state usually is the infinitely dilute solution. Without committing ourselves to this choice exclusively, we will nevertheless use it in most of our problems.

The specific enthalpy relative to the dead state, 8, is defined as (14, 19,24)... 

Conceptually, the dead state can be visualized from several different angles as follows The universe contains a stable system which is composed of many stable materials existing in abundance and whose concentrations can be reasonably assumed to remain invariant (1,2,8,11,12,14,16,17). All the stable materials exist in thermodynamic equilibrium at the temperature, Tq, of 298.15 K, and under the total pressure, PQ, of 1 atm. This state is termed the "dead state" (1,2,8,16,18). The most stable materials, which are in the stable sector of the universe, i.e., the dead state, are termed "datum level materials" and have the availability (exergy) and energy (enthalpy relative to the dead state) of zero the concentration of the datum level material is the datum level concentration. 

The values of availability (exergy) and energy (enthalpy relative to the dead state) of all materials that are in complete, stable equilibrium with the dead state are zero. The datum level materials and their concentrations that age used in this work to compute the specific chemical enthalpy, 8, and the specific chemical exergy, e, are listed in Table I. 

Show that water at 400°C and 10 bar is superheated steam and determine its specific volume, specific internal energy, and specific enthalpy relative to liquid water at the triple point, and its dew point. 

Calculate A// for each of the following processes In each case, restate your result as a specific enthalpy relative to a reference state. [The solution—which you should verify—and the restatement for part (a) are given as an illustration.] Assume that the process pressures are low enough for H to be considered independent of pressure, so that the formulas of Table B.2 (which strictly apply at 1 atm) can be used. 

In the following calculations, values of isH° come from Table B.l, formulas for Cp T) come from Table B.2, and values of H T) for O2 and Nt are specific enthalpies relative to the gaseous species at 25°C taken from Table B.8. Effects of any pressure changes on enthalpies are neglected, and the details of the calculations are not shown. 

To obtain the energy content of this mixture at 360K, requires use of molar enthalpies relative to a reference temperature (340K in this problem) obtained from Maddox, Heat Exchanger Design Handbook. Units are in kJ/kgmol.

McDonald and Getting (5) have measured the heat capacity of the o form from 13 and 304 K and the enthalpy (relative to the o form) from 676 to 688 K. The assumption has been made that the o and o forms are identical and the heat capacity curve between 304 and 676 K has been estimated graphically. The entropy was obtained by integration of the heat capacity curve assuming S (13 K) 0.16 cal K mol. The sample was identified as o by x-ray diffraction both before and after the experiments.

Table I includes not only the chemical availabilities of the compound but also what is here referred to as the base enthalpy. The base enthalpy is akin to the enthalpy of formation the latter is the enthalpy of a compound (at Tg,pg) relative to the elements (at Tg,pg) from which it would be formed. The former, the base enthalpy of a compound, is the enthalpy relative to the stable components of the environment—i.e., relative to the dead state. (Indeed, if values of availability are established relative to stable species of the environment, it is only logical to use the same criterion for the enthalpy values used in energy analyses.) Thus, if a compound exists as a stable component of the reference atmosphere, its base enthalpy is zero by definition. Otherwise, it is non-zero to use the same example as employed before for Pjfo of a species which is absent from the environment, the base enthalpy of CO is given by...
