Integral heats

The heat of adsorption is an important experimental quantity. The heat evolution with each of successive admissions of adsorbate vapor may be measured directly by means of a calorimeter described by Beebe and co-workers [31]. Alternatively, the heat of immersion in liquid adsorbate of adsorbent having various amounts preadsorbed on it may be determined. The difference between any two values is related to the integral heat of adsorption (see Section X-3A) between the two degrees of coverage. See Refs. 32 and 33 for experimental papers in this area. 

The integral heat of adsorption Qi may be measured calorimetrically by determining directly the heat evolution when the desired amount of adsorbate is admitted to the clean solid surface. Alternatively, it may be more convenient to measure the heat of immersion of the solid in pure liquid adsorbate. Immersion of clean solid gives the integral heat of adsorption at P = Pq, that is, Qi(Po) or qi(Po), whereas immersion of solid previously equilibrated with adsorbate at pressure P gives the difference [qi(Po) differential heat of adsorption q may be obtained from the slope of the Qi-n plot, or by measuring the heat evolved as small increments of adsorbate are added [123].

The solubihty of the ammonium haUdes in water also increases with increasing formula weight. For ammonium chloride, the integral heat of solution to saturation is 15.7 kj /mol (3.75 kcal/mol) at saturation, the differential heat of solution is 15.2 kj /mol (3.63 kcal/mol). The solubihty of all three salts is given in Table 1 (7). 

The solubihty of ammonium sulfate in 100 g of water is 70.6 g at 0°C and 103.8 g at 100°C. It is insoluble in ethanol and acetone, does not form hydrates, and dehquesces at only about 80% relative humidity. The integral heat of solution of ammonium sulfate to saturation in water is 6.57 kj/mol (1.57... 

Hardee et al. (1978) investigated pure methane and premixed methane-air fireball reactions. They used balloons filled either with 0.1 to 10 kg pure methane, or else with stoichiometric air-methane mixtures. The balloons were cut open just prior to ignition. Integrating heat-flux calorimeters, located either inside the balloons or at their edges, were used to measure the thermal output.

As M is increased in comparison with m, the heat of solution approaches a limiting value, which is evidently a special case of the differential as well as of the integral heat of solution it represents the first stage in the supposed series of small processes when the solute dissolves in initially pure solvent, and is called the heat of solution at infinite dilution ...

The heat absorbed when unit mass of solute is dissolved in an infinite amount of solvent is the differential heat of solution for zero concentration, Lo, and this is evidently equal to the integral heat of solution for concentration s plus the integral heat of dilution for concentration s ...

The integral heat of mixing is, of course, the quantity directly measured in the calorimetric method However, the heat change on diluting a solution of the polymer with an additional amount of solvent may sometimes be measured in preference to the mixing of pure polymer with solvent In either case, the desired partial molar quantity AHi must be derived by a process of differentiation, either graphical or analytical.

It is always important in thermochemical studies to be aware of the temperature at which the thermochemical properties are determined, and to combine only those properties at the same temperature. Temperature corrections can be made by using integrated heat capacities over the temperature ranges in question. However, it is often assumed that the temperature corrections for ionization energies and electron affinities are small (<1 kJ/mol) and therefore can be neglected. 

Heats of solution are dependent on concentration. The integral heat of solution at any given concentration is the cumulative heat released, or absorbed, in preparing the solution from pure solvent and solute. The integral heat of solution at infinite dilution is called the standard integral heat of solution. 

Tables of the integral heat of solution over a range of concentration, and plots of the integral heat of solution as a function of concentration, are given in the handbooks for many of the materials for which the heat of solution is likely to be significant in process design calculations.

The integral heat of solution can be used to calculate the heating or cooling required in the preparation of solutions, as illustrated in Example 3.5. 

The cold recovery device consists of an exhaust air humidifier with an integrated heat exchanger and the supply air heat exchanger, which are connected by a fluid circuit. The first can be described as an indirect evaporative cooler. The cold recovery device is able to transport 83% of the maximum possible enthalpy difference from the exhaust air to the supply air.
