Internal Energy and Specific Heats

The internal energy per unit volume of a mixture eM is given by 

Similarly, the specific heat of the mixture at constant pressure can be defined as 

On the basis of Eq. (6.43), the relationship between yw and (f is plotted for various values of 8, as given in Fig. 6.9. The figure shows that a large value of / and/or 8 leads to 

Km of unity, which implies an isothermal flow. Thus, the flow with a high particle loading and/or a high particle thermal capacity behaves as an isothermal flow because the large heat capacity of the particles significantly offsets the temperature variations in the gas induced by expansion or compression.

Table 8 displays the computed internal energy and specific heat at constant volume. The fact that these agree well with each other, and with experiment, despite the differences in local structure of liquids based on the two potentials emphasizes the insensitivity of thermodynamic properties (except pressure) to structural details. 

This chapter addresses the various phenomena indicated. In addition, the thermodynamic laws governing physical properties of the gas-solid mixture such as density, pressure, internal energy, and specific heat are introduced. The thermodynamic analysis of gas-solid systems requires revisions or modifications of the thermodynamic laws for a pure gas system. In this chapter, the equation of state of the gas-solid mixture is derived and an isentropic change of state is discussed.

We consider single phase and two phase flows of a pure substance through a Laval nozzle. We presume that mechanical, thermal and chemical equilibrium between the phases can be maintained. The flow will be treated as steady and one-dimensional. To verify the flow model we apply a cubic equation of state with linear temperature dependence (Abbott [11]). Internal energy and specific heat, respectively, take into account vibrational excitation of the molecules (Chaves [12]). As a parameter characterizing the behaviour of fluids in case of adiabatic phase changes we define the nondimensionalized specific heat of the perfect gas at the critical temperature ...

Before applying such models to vicinal water, they should be checked to account for the properties of bulk water (molar Internal energy, pressure, specific heat, singularity at 4°C, etc.), which is sometimes done l, and for the surface tension as a function of temperature, which is a more critical test but rarely done. ... 

Phase changes under isothermal conditions and those in flowing fluids show a fundamental difference. In the first case the latent heat of evaporation has to be transferred between the system and the environment. Many flow processes, however, are adiabatic and some of them are almost reversible. In such adiabatic flows the latent heat must be provided from the internal energy of the fluid. The ratio of internal energy and latent heat which depends mostly on the molar specific heat of the substance characterizes the extent of phase change attainable in adiabatic processes. Obviously, adiabatic phase changes can take place much faster than isothermal phase changes. 

Any characteristic of a system is called a property. The essential feature of a property is that it has a unique value when a system is in a particular state. Properties are considered to be either intensive or extensive. Intensive properties are those that are independent of the size of a system, such as temperature T and pressure p. Extensive properties are those that are dependent on the size of a system, such as volume V, internal energy U, and entropy S. Extensive properties per unit mass are called specific properties such as specific volume v, specific internal energy u, and specific entropy. s. Properties can be either measurable such as temperature T, volume V, pressure p, specific heat at constant pressure process Cp, and specific heat at constant volume process c, or non-measurable such as internal energy U and entropy S. A relatively small number of independent properties suffice to fix all other properties and thus the state of the system. If the system is composed of a single phase, free from magnetic, electrical, chemical, and surface effects, the state is fixed when any two independent intensive properties are fixed.

The specific internal energy and the specific enthalpy of an ideal gas are dependent on temperature alone, and so equation (20.9) is valid for a gas as well as a liquid. Further, we may note that the specific heats at constant volume and constant pressure for a gas are given by ...

In the specific heat measurement, a cluster of interest is irradiated with a 532-nm laser (2.33 eV) in order to increase its internal energy, and a temperature rise due to the internal-energy increase is determined from a simultaneous change of its magnetic moment. The specific heat of the cluster is evaluated from the internal-energy increase divided by the temperature rise. The temperature dependence of the specific heat of nickel clusters with the sizes of 200-240 is shown in Fig. 13(b). The specific heat...

Some thermodynamic functions can be deduced from the knowledge of the specific heat. They are the enthalpy, the internal energy and the entropy. The first function appears as the latent heat in first-order transitions like the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic transition or where the magnetic transition is related to a structural transition. 

State defined by (3.222) (or by (3.220), (3.221)) the persistence of which is achieved by the zero body heating (3.231), the zero inertial and body forces (i = o, b = o) and the zero velocity v = o (3.223) everywhere. The body is in the uniform equilibrium state mentioned above and as may be seen, such a state may be realized in the isolatedhody in which no exchange of heat, work and mass with environment exists and the boundary of which is fixed. Denoting constant (throughout the body and time) equilibrium values of temperature T° density p° and therefore also specific volume v°, internal energy and entropy s° (cf.

As we have seen in the case above of internal energy [Eq. (24.12)], this relation can be useful for defining various isobaric heat quantities such as integral and differential, molar and specific heats of reaction, transition, solution, mixing, etc. These are all produced similarly at constant p and T and, depending upon the process in question, each one can have various symbols and names. We will be content with only two examples, one integral quantity and one differential quantity ...
