Idea gas

I knew nothing of the work of C. G. Vayenas on NEMCA until the early nineties. Then I learned from a paper of his idea (gas interface reactions could be catalyzed electrochemically), which seemed quite marvelous but I did not understand how it worked. 

The first term on the right-hand side is the idea gas limit, and the remaining -logarithmic terms express the successive virial corrections for the real gas behavior. It is evidently most convenient for this problem to choose the standard state pressure as P° = 0, where all gases are ideal. With this choice, we can write the relationship between fugacity and pressure as... 

At this point we do not know if R is the same for all ideal gases. So we need to consider Avogadro s law, which states that one molecular weight of an ideal gas occupies the same volume as one molecular weight of another idea] gas at the same pressure and temperature. That is,... 

Equation 3-34 states that for an idea] gas the volume fraction of a component is equal to the mole fraction of that component.

Ideal Gas Law. The volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute (emperaiure and inversely proportional to its absolute pressure. The proportional constant is found to he the same for one mole of any idea) gas, so this law may be expressed as ...

Temperature is usually defined as a thermodynamic quantity arising from the macroscopic properties of a system which can be described by equations of state, such as the Idea Gas Law. This must be distinguished from the atomistic definition, which deals with the population at different energy levels and which is the basis of the spectroscopic definition of temperature. In the case of IR and Raman spectroscopy, only the vibrational and the rotational states are of interest usually. According to the Boltzmann distribution law, the population of a distinct level of energy E, is proportional to... 

The solution of the system equations for all unknown variables is straightforward. The idea gas equation of state applied to the fresh feed stream yields no- The specified overall CO conversion yields h from the equation 0.01 3 = (1 - 0.98)no Raoult s law at the condenser outlet combined with the calculated value of h yields /i6, and an overall carbon balance yields Balances on CO and CH3OH at the mixing point yield hi and hi, and an energy balance for the same subsystem yields Ta. An energy balance on the preheater then yields Qh> A methanol balance on the condenser yields hi, and then energy balances on the reactor and the condenser yield and Q, respectively. 

A more efficient liquefaction process would replace the throttle valve by an expander, but operating such a device into the two-phase region is impractical. Flowever, the Claude process, shown in Fig. 9.7, is based in part on this idea. Gas at an intermediate temperature...

Therefore, the formula is Sii.i7F3 53, or SiF3. Next, we calculate the number of moles contained in 2.38 g of the compound. From the idea gas equation... 

For an idea gas the interna energy and the enthalpy depend only oh the temperature and remain constant as we move along any isotherm.

One of the interesting features of (ideal) gas molecules is that they demand a certain amount of territory. It doesn t matter if they are heavy or light, big or small — all gas molecules occupy the same amount of space at a given temperature and pressure hence the idea gas law. 

From (4-61), with the assumptions of the idea) gas law and an ideal gas solution, vapor enthalpy is simply...

From the ideas gas law, PV = nRT, and VC, = N, where N is the total number of species in the reactor. Applying this to Equation 12.45, the change in concentration of each species in a constant volume reactor is then... 

Where G is the Gibbs Free Energy and R is the idea) gas constant. 

At the lower hmit of the term on the left we have flP = 1 because any material with a finite vapor pressure is practically a idea gas at E = 0. Hence, the left term is simply ln//P. Taking exponentials of both sides we have, finally...
