Reduced temperature, pressure, volume

According to the van der Waals equation of state, the value of compressibility at the critical point should be 3/8 = 0.375. When does a real gas depart significantly from an ideal gas We can write equation (4.9) as the reduced equation of state, with the reduced temperatures, pressures, and volumes = TITc, Pi = P/Pc, Vr = V/Vc- Then, all gases would have the same equation of state in the form of reduced parameters ... 

To discuss the phase stability of polymer blends in more detail one has to specify the free-energy parameter X. This can be done in terms of an equation-of-state theory [8]. Theories that take into account the compressible nature of the pure components as well as that of the mixture are called equation-of-state theories. As basic quantities characterizing the thermodynamic state of a system the reduced temperature (T), volume (V) and pressure (P) are employed and defined by... 

For ordinary pressures, to a good approximation, it is justified to assume P = 0. As a result, the parameter X is a function of the reduced temperature and volume... 

The thermodynamic equation (21.1) may also be expressed in terms of the reduced temperature, pressure and volume, and the compressibility factor. It is then possible to construct a generalized diagram for Cp — Cy applicable to all gases (cf. 20e). ... 

Recall that many substances have similar critical compressibility values near 0.27. Therefore, charts have been developed which relate compressibility at other conditions to those at the critical point. In order to use these charts, the system parameters are normalized by dividing by the critical constants to yield reduced temperature, pressure, and volume ... 

Theories of Homopolymer Surface Tension. More rigorous expressions for predicting polymer surface tension have been derived from equations of state for polymers. Corresponding states principles have been employed to derive expressions for surface tensions in terms of characteristic equation of state parameters and the associated reduced temperature, pressure, and volume. One proposed expression is of the form (14)... 

In 1873, van der Waals [2] first used these ideas to account for the deviation of real gases from the ideal gas law P V= RT in which P, Tand T are the pressure, molar volume and temperature of the gas and R is the gas constant. Fie argried that the incompressible molecules occupied a volume b leaving only the volume V- b free for the molecules to move in. Fie further argried that the attractive forces between the molecules reduced the pressure they exerted on the container by a/V thus the pressure appropriate for the gas law isP + a/V rather than P. These ideas led him to the van der Waals equation of state ... 

Figure A2.5.6 shows a series of typical p, Fisothemis calculated using equation (A2.5.1). (The temperature, pressure and volume are in reduced units to be explained below.) At sufficiently high temperatures the pressure decreases monotonically with increasing volume, but below a critical temperature the isothemi shows a maximum and a minimum.

The idea of using reduced variables to correlate the pressure—volume—temperature properties of gases, was suggested by van der Waals in 1873. The... 

This equation is useful for gases above the critical point. Only reduced pressure, P, and reduced temperature, T, are needed. In the form represented by equation 53, iteration quickly gives accurate values for the compressibiUty factor, Z. However, this two-parameter equation only gives accurate values for simple and nonpolar fluids. Unless the Redhch-Kwong equation (eq. 53) is expHcifly solved for pressure in nonreduced variables, it does not give accurate hquid volumes. 

T, (f), are called the reduced pressure, the reduced volume, and the reduced temperature, respectively, and equation (1) may be stated in the form that if we know the critical volume, critical pressure, and critical temperature of a substance, and divide the values of the volume, pressure, and temperature in a series of states by these, the quotients will satisfy an equation which does not contain any constants depending on the specific nature of the substance, this being in fact the equation ... 

The reduced pressures, and specific volumes of liquid and saturated vapour, are the same for all substances at equal reduced temperatures. 

Equation (6.30) leads to a final method of obtaining an approximate value for In4> by making use of the law of corresponding states. This law states that all gases obey the same equation of state when expressed in terms of the reduced variables T, — T/Tc, pT - p/pc. and V, — V/Vc, where T., pc. and Vc are the critical temperature, pressure, and volume, respectively. 

A chart which correlates experimental P - V - T data for all gases is included as Figure 2.1 and this is known as the generalised compressibility-factor chart.(1) Use is made of reduced coordinates where the reduced temperature Tr, the reduced pressure Pr, and the reduced volume Vr are defined as the ratio of the actual temperature, pressure, and volume of the gas to the corresponding values of these properties at the critical state. It is found that, at a given value of Tr and Pr, nearly all gases have the same molar volume, compressibility factor, and other thermodynamic properties. This empirical relationship applies to within about 2 per cent for most gases the most important exception to the rule is ammonia. 

The terms p, T, and v are characteristic reducing parameters which may be obtained by fitting pressure-volume-temperature data (density, thermal expansion coefficient, and thermal pressure coefficient) for each pure component in the mixture (3,12). Values of p, v, and T are given in Tables I and II. 

When the volume of a mixture of gases decreases, the pressure of the gases must increase. Le Chatelier s principle predicts a shift in equilihrium to relieve this change. Therefore, the shift must tend to reduce the pressure of the gases. Molecules striking the walls of a container cause gas pressure, so a reduction in gas pressure at constant temperature must mean fewer gas molecules. Consider the following reaction again. 

GTs are constant-volume machines, such that a fixed-speed GT air compressor section draws a nearly constant volumetric flow of inlet air, independent of ambient air conditions. Air density drops with increased altitude (reduced barometric pressure), increased ambient temperature, and, to a lesser degree, increased water content (specific humidity).

The constants a b in vanderWaals equation can be eliminated by substituting for them expressions derived from the values of the critical constants, given by equations (14). This elimination can be so arranged that the new equation contains only the ratios of the pressure, volume and temperature to their critical values. These ratios are called the reduced values of the variables and may be written as ...
