Ideal gas heat capacity data

The entropy and enthalpy values in the Steam Tables, for example, have been developed using these equations, combined with extensive experimental pressure-volume-temperature PVT) and ideal gas heat capacity data. The given values, however, are relative to zero values for saturated water at 273.16 K. 

Using this postulate, we develop a framework of expressions for the evaluation of Aermodynamic properties of fluids from PVT and ideal gas heat capacity data and, since in the typical case PVT data are not available, estimation techniques are emphasized. 

We usually want to evaluate this term under ideal gas conditions, since ideal gas heat capacity data are readily available for most gases. In Example 5.3, we will take another approach. The second term can be simplified using the fundamental property relation. Equation (5.6) ...

The most satisfactory calciilational procedure for thermodynamic properties of gases and vapors requires PVT data and ideal gas heat capacities. The primary equations are based on the concept of the ideal gas state and the definitions of residual enthalpy anci residual entropy ... 

Vapour phase enthalpies were calculated using ideal gas heat capacity values and the liquid phase enthalpies were calculated by subtracting heat of vaporisation from the vapour enthalpies. The input data required to evaluate these thermodynamic properties were taken from Reid et al. (1977). Initialisation of the plate and condenser compositions (differential variables) was done using the fresh feed composition according to the policy described in section 4.1.1.(a). The simulation results are presented in Table 4.8. It shows that the product composition obtained by both ideal and nonideal phase equilibrium models are very close those obtained experimentally. However, the computation times for the two cases are considerably different. As can be seen from Table 4.8 about 67% time saving (compared to nonideal case) is possible when ideal equilibrium is used. 

As shown in Chap. 6, ideal-gas heat capacities, rather than the actual heat capacities of gases, are used in the evaluation of thermodynamic properties such as internal energy and enthalpy. The reason is that thermodynamic-property evaluation is conveniently accomplished in two steps first, calculation of ideal-gas values from ideal-gas heat capacities second, calculation from PVT data of the differences between real-gas and ideal-gas values. A real gas becomes ideal in the limit as P - 0 if it were to remain ideal when compressed to a finite pressure, its state would remain that of an ideal-gas. Gases in these hypothetical ideal-gas states have properties that reflect their individuality just as do real gases. Ideal-gas heat capacities (designated by Cf and Cy) are therefore different for different gases although functions of temperature, they are independent of pressure. 

The effects of temperature on C or Cy are determined by experiment, most often from spectroscopic data and knowledge of molecular structure by the methods of statistical mechanics. Where experimental data are not available, methods of estimation are employed, as described by Reid, Prausnitz, and Sherwood.t Ideal-gas heat capacities increase smoothly with increasing temperature toward an upper limit, which is reached when all translational, rotational, and vibrational modes of molecular motion are fully excited. 

Since the equations of thermodynamics which derive from the first and second laws do not permit calculation of absolute values for enthalpy and entropy, and since all we need in practice are relative values, the reference-state conditions T0 and P0 are selected for convenience, and values are assigned to H 0a and S 9 arbitrarily. The only data needed for application of Eqs. (6.45) and (6.46) are ideal-gas heat capacities and PVT data. Once V, H, and S are known at given conditions of T and P, the other thermodynamic properties follow from defining equations. 

The graphs are based on the Peng-Robinson equation of state (1) as improved by Stryjek and Vera (2, 3). The equations for thermodynamic properties using the Peng-Robinson equation of state are given in the appendix for volume, compressibility factor, fugacity coefficient, residual enthalpy, and residual entropy. Critical constants and ideal gas heat capacities for use in the equations are from the data compilations of DIPPR (8) and Yaws (28, 29, 30). 

Classical tliennody namics is a deductive science, in which the general features of macroscopic-system beliaviorfollow from a few laws and postulates. However, the practical application of thermodynamics requires values for the properties of individual chemical species and their mixtures. These may be presented either as numerical data (e.g., the steam tables for water) or as correlating equations (e.g., a P VT equation of state and expressions for the temperatnre dependence of ideal-gas heat capacities). 

The NIST Chemistry Webbook [5] provides information on a large number of chemical compounds. This includes thermophysical property information (a subset of that available in the Standard Reference Databases) for several important pure fluids. Structural information is available for a large number of compounds, and for many of these data are given for vapor pressure, heats of formation and phase change, and/or ideal-gas heat capacity. 

The NIST s Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) has a large collection of pure-fluid thermodynamic and transport properties tables of recommended values and correlations exist both in paper form and in a computer database [12], The TRC has also produced books with comprehensive compilations for organic compounds (sometimes also available as software) for vapor pressure [17], liquid density [18], and ideal-gas heat capacity [29], in addition to a compilation on virial coefficients [32]. Their major archival database of experimental pure-component and mixture data is called Source [97] it is currently available only to members of their consortium. Some data for mixtures of organic compounds are published in the periodical Selected Data on Mixtures [49]. More information is at http //trc.nist.gov. 

The data compilation of Yaws and co-workers (31,44,45) was selected for enthalpy of formation of ideal gas for all compounds except epichlorohydrin. For epichlorohydrin, the value at 25 C (5) was extended to higher temperatures by integration of the appropriate equations (177) which involve gas heat capacities. Data for enthalpy of formation of the ideal gas is a series expansion in temperature, Equation (1-11). Results from the correlation are in favorable agreement with data.

The ideal gas heat capacity can be quite well derived by the interpretation of spectroscopic data. But in the recent years, the measurement of the speed of sound has more and more become the favorite method [53-55].

As mentioned before, Approach A (also called supercritical compounds can be handled easily and that besides the phase equilibrium behavior various other properties such as densities, enthalpies including enthalpies of vaporization, heat capacities and a large number of other important thermodynamic properties can be calculated via residual functions for the pure compounds and their mbctures. For the calculation besides the critical data and the acentric factor for the equation of state and reliable mixing rules, only the ideal gas heat capacities of the pure compounds as a function of temperature are additionally required. A perfect equation of state with perfect mixing rules would provide perfect results. This is the reason why after the development of the van der Waals equation of state in 1873 an enormous number of different equations of state have been suggested. 

The standard thermodynamic data of formation and the ideal gas heat capacity correlations can be found in Appendix A.

The precision of calculated energies can be improved if the following data are also available Cy,m p, T) (isochoric heat capacity measurements), Cp,m(p, T) (isobaric heat capacity measurements), T) (enthalpy differences), and Joule-Thomson coefficients.
