Gases non-ideal

Various other non-ideal-gas-type two-dimensional equations of state have been proposed, generally by analogy with gases. Volmer and Mahnert [128,... 

Pressure-area isotherms for many polymer films lack the well-defined phase regions shown in Fig. IV-16 such films give the appearance of being rather amorphous and plastic in nature. At low pressures, non-ideal-gas behavior is approached as seen in Fig. XV-1 for polyfmethyl acrylate) (PMA). The limiting slope is given by a viiial equation... 

On the other hand, as applied to the submonolayer region, the same comment can be made as for the localized model. That is, the two-dimensional non-ideal-gas equation of state is a perfectly acceptable concept, but one that, in practice, is remarkably difficult to distinguish from the localized adsorption picture. If there can be even a small amount of surface heterogeneity the distinction becomes virtually impossible (see Section XVll-14). Even the cases of phase change are susceptible to explanation on either basis. 

The implicit Crank-Nicholson integration method was used to solve the equation. Radial temperature and concentrations were calculated using the Thomas algorithm (Lapidus 1962, Carnahan et al,1969). This program allowed the use of either ideal or non-ideal gas laws. For cases using real gas assumptions, heat capacity and heat of reactions were made temperature dependent. 

For a high-pressure non-ideal gas behavior, the term (TqTi/TtIo) is replaced by (ZqTqTi/ZTtIq), where Z is the compressiblity factor. To change to another key reactant B, then... 

The effect of pressure on the properties of an incompressible fluid, an ideal gas. and a non-ideal gas is now considered. 

For a non-ideal gas, equation 2.15 is modified by including a compressibility factor Z which is a function of both temperature and pressure ... 

Many equations have been given to denote the approximate relation between the properties of a non-ideal gas. Of these the simplest, and probably the most commonly used. 

Thus the internal energy of the non-ideal gas is a function of pressure as well as temperature. As the gas is expanded, the molecules are separated from each other against the action of the attractive forces between them. Energy is therefore stored in the gas this is released when the gas is compressed and the molecules are allowed to approach one another again. 

A characteristic of the non-ideal gas is that it has a finite Joule-Thomson effect. This relates to the amount of heat which must be added during an expansion of a gas from a pressure Pi to a pressure P2 in order to maintain isothermal conditions. Imagine a gas flowing from a cylinder, fitted with a piston at a pressure Pi to a second cylinder at a pressure Pi (Figure 2.2). 

For an ideal gas, under isothermal conditions, AU = 0 and /V 2 = Pp - Thus q = 0 and the ideal gas is said to have a zero Joule-Thomson effect. A non-ideal gas has a Joule-Thomson effect which may be either positive or negative. 

For the flow of steam, a highly non-ideal gas, it is necessary to apply a correction to the calculated flowrate, the magnitude of which depends on whether the steam is saturated, wet or superheated. Correction charts are given by Lyle<5) who also quotes a useful approximation16 — that a steam meter registers 1 per cent low for every 2 per cent of liquid water in the steam, and 1 per cent high for every 8 per cent of superheat.

Now consider the energy of interaction of an isolated pair as the center to center distance, R, changes. In the transfer from dilute to non-ideal gas (dimer), or to the condensed phase, important changes occur in all degrees of freedom. This is diagramed in Fig. 5.1 which shows the shifts in intermolecular potential energy... 

As N2 is a relatively large molecule, it may not be able to enter small pores. Furthermore, owing to its non ideal gas behaviour, N2 cannot be used for surface areas < 1 m g . These problems can be overcome to some extent by replacing N2 with water (area 0.108 nm /molecule) which can enter very small pores, or with Ar (0.138 nm /molecule) which, with a lower saturation vapour pressure, can be used to measure samples with very low surface areas.

The pressure, which is usually a non-ideal gas equation of state, is given by 43... 

The forces of attraction between neutral, chemically saturated molecules, postulated by van der Waals to explain non-ideal gas behaviour, also originate from electrical interactions. Three types of such inter molecular attraction are recognised ... 

A gaseous substance at dilute density normally is in the state of an ideal gas and it turns into a non-ideal gas as the density increases. A further increase in the density leads to the condensation of a gas into a liquid or solid phase. In the ideal gaseous state the chemical potential of a substance changes linearly with the logarithm of the density, and a deviation from the linearity occurs in the non-ideal state. For a condensed substance in the liquid or solid state its chemical potential hardly changes with the density. This chapter concerns the equations of state and the calculation of thermodynamic potentials of gaseous and condensed substances. 

Real gases are usually non-ideal. Thermodynamics describes both ideal and non-ideal gases with the same type of formulas, except that for non-ideal gas mixtures the fugacity f is substituted in place of the pressure pi and that the activity at is substituted in place of the molar fraction xi or concentration c, of constituent substance i. We have already seen that in the ideal gas of a pure substance the chemical potential is expressed by Eq. 7.5. By analogy, we write Eq. 7.9 for the non-ideal gas of a pure substance i ... 

This ratio of / to p for a non-ideal gas of a pure substance may be calculated from the equation of state for real gases such as the virial equation and the van der Wools equation.
