But the pure ideal-gas internal energy and enthalpy are independent of pressure and volume, so these reduce to... 

In all these equations (4.2.2)-(4.2.9), the mixture and each pure ideal gas must be at the same temperature, pressure, and composition, except the ideal-gas values for U and H, which only must be at the same temperature and composition because the ideal-gas internal energy and enthalpy are independent of pressure. 

Moreover, equations of state for gas, internal energy, enthalpy and heat capacities are required, and the transport coefficients for mass, momentum, and heat diffusion need to be determined. Finally, as the description of the above processes leads to a large system of differential and algebraic equations for multifluids and multiphases, initial and boundary conditions are needed to obtain a solution.

The symbols are p, gas mass density u, gas velocity p, gas pressure e, gas internal energy T, gas temperature Cf, friction coefficient Ch, heat transfer coefficient (Stanton number) Ty, wall temperature Cp, specific heat at constant pressure and w, channel radius or width. These equations were solved by the explicit Flux-Corrected Transport finite-difference method described by Oran and Boris.Computations were carried out on a coarse 100-point uniform mesh when the shock was in the vessel interior and on a 250-point variable mesh when the shock was near the walls or the center of symmetry. The variable mesh was used to increase the spatial resolution by a factor of 10 near the shock reflection or implosion point. 

Joule s law The internal energy of a gas depends only on its temperature (being independent of its pressure and volume). Like the other gas laws, it is only approximately true. At high pressures it is invalidated by the existence of inlermolecular forces. 

Since translational and internal energy (of rotation and vibration) are independent, the partition function for the gas can be written... 

Once prepared in S q witli well defined energy E, donor molecules will begin to collide witli batli molecules B at a rate detennined by tire batli-gas pressure. A typical process of tliis type is tire collision between a CgFg molecule witli approximately 5 eV (40 000 cm or 460 kJ mor ) of internal vibrational energy and a CO2 molecule in its ground vibrationless state 00 0 to produce CO2 in tire first asymmetric stretch vibrational level 00 1 [11,12 and 13]. This collision results in tire loss of approximately AE= 2349 cnA of internal energy from tire CgFg,... 

In (a), an ion and a gas atom approach each other with a total kinetic energy of KE, + KEj. After collision (b), the atom and ion follow new trajectories. If the sum of KE, + KEj is equal to KE3 + KE4, the collision is elastic. In an inelastic collision (b), the sums of kinetic energies are not equal, and the difference appears as an excess of internal energy in the ion and gas molecule. If the collision gas is atomic, there can be no rotational and no vibrational energy in the atom, but there is a possibility of electronic excitation. Since most collision gases are helium or argon, almost all of the excess of internal energy appears in the ion. 

Equation (3.16) shows that the force required to stretch a sample can be broken into two contributions one that measures how the enthalpy of the sample changes with elongation and one which measures the same effect on entropy. The pressure of a system also reflects two parallel contributions, except that the coefficients are associated with volume changes. It will help to pursue the analogy with a gas a bit further. The internal energy of an ideal gas is independent of volume The molecules are noninteracting so it makes no difference how far apart they are. Therefore, for an ideal gas (3U/3V)j = 0 and the thermodynamic equation of state becomes... 

The price differential at which coal becomes competitive with gas depends on plant size and the cost of capital, but based on estimates by the International Energy Agency (21) the required price ratio for gas to coal in North America falls into the range of 3.1 to 3.7 on an equivalent energy basis ( /MJ). Current prices give a gas/coal cost ratio nearer 1.5 to 2.0. As a result, all projected new methanol capacity is based on natural gas or heavy oil except for the proposed coal-based plant in China.

Compressible Vlow. The flow of easily compressible fluids, ie, gases, exhibits features not evident in the flow of substantially incompressible fluid, ie, Hquids. These differences arise because of the ease with which gas velocities can be brought to or beyond the speed of sound and the substantial reversible exchange possible between kinetic energy and internal energy. The Mach number, the ratio of the gas velocity to the local speed of sound, plays a central role in describing such flows.

Base point (zero values) for enthalpy, internal energy, and entropy are 0 K for the ideal gas at 101.3 kPa (1 atm) pressure. 

Hea.t Ca.pa.cities. The heat capacities of real gases are functions of temperature and pressure, and this functionaHty must be known to calculate other thermodynamic properties such as internal energy and enthalpy. The heat capacity in the ideal-gas state is different for each gas. Constant pressure heat capacities, (U, for the ideal-gas state are independent of pressure and depend only on temperature. An accurate temperature correlation is often an empirical equation of the form ... 

Note that under choked conditions, the exit velocity is V = V = c = V/cKTVM not V/cKT(/M, . Sonic velocity must be evaluated at the exit temperature. For air, with k = 1.4, the critical pressure ratio p /vo is 0.5285 and the critical temperature ratio T /Tq = 0.8333. Thus, for air discharging from 300 K, the temperature drops by 50 K (90 R). This large temperature decrease results from the conversion of internal energy into kinetic energy and is reversible. As the discharged jet decelerates in the external stagant gas, it recovers its initial enthalpy. 

Thermodynamic paths are necessary to evaluate the enthalpy (or internal energy) of the fluid phase and the internal energy of the stationary phase. For gas-phase processes at low and modest pressures, the enthalpy departure function for pressure changes can be ignored and a reference state for each pure component chosen to be ideal gas at temperature and a reference state for the stationarv phase (adsorbent plus adsorbate) chosen to be adsorbate-free solid at. Thus, for the gas phase we have... 

In an ideal fluid, the stresses are isotropic. There is no strength, so there are no shear stresses the normal stress and lateral stresses are equal and are identical to the pressure. On the other hand, a solid with strength can support shear stresses. However, when the applied stress greatly exceeds the yield stress of a solid, its behavior can be approximated by that of a fluid because the fractional deviations from stress isotropy are small. Under these conditions, the solid is considered to be hydrodynamic. In the absence of rate-dependent behavior such as viscous relaxation or heat conduction, the equation of state of an isotropic fluid or hydrodynamic solid can be expressed in terms of specific internal energy as a function of pressure and specific volume E(P, V). A familiar equation of state is that for an ideal gas... 

An expansion turbine (also called turboexpander) converts gas or vapor energy into mechanical work as the gas or vapor expands through the turbine. The internal energy of the gas decreases as work is done. The exit temperature of the gas may be very low. Therefore, the expander has the ability to act as a refrigerator in the separation and liquefaction of gases. 

Joule s law The internal energy of a given quantity of gas depends only on its temperature and is independent of its pressure and volume.
