Standard properties

The t and a.-methods, the nature of which was explained in Chapter 2, may be used to arrive at a value of the micropore volume. If the surface of the solid has standard properties, the t-plot (or a,-plot) corresponding to the isotherm of the nonporous powder in Fig. 4.11(a) will be a straight line passing through the origin (cf. curve (i) of Fig. 4.11(6)) and having a slope proportional to the specific surface of the powder. For the microporous powder which yields the isotherm (iii).of Fig. 4.11(a), the t-plot (or Oj-plot) will have the form of curve (iii) of Fig. 4.11(6) the linear branch of this curve will be parallel to curve (i), since it corresponds to the area of the outside of the particles which is identical with that of the nonporous parent particles.

Each researcher and/or author has attempted to fit the name to his/her current interests or work. The methodology has not been standardized properties often are confused with each other and very frequently wide conclusions are drawn from data obtained by ad hoc assays of uncertain validity. 

Official Properties. The International Association for Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS), an association of national committees that maintains the official standard properties of steam and water for power cycle use, maintains two formulations of the properties of water and steam. The first is an industrial formulation, the official properties for the calculation of steam power plant cycles. This formulation is appropriate from 0.001 to 100 MPa (0.12-1450 psia) and from 0 to 800 C (32-1472 F) and also from 0.001 to 10 MPa (0.12-145 psia) between 800 and 2000°C (1472 3632 F). This formulation is used in the design of steam turbines and power cycles. IAPWS maintains a second formulation of the properties of water and steam for scientific and general use from 0.01 MPa (extrapolating to ideal gas) at O C (1.45 psia at 32 F) to the highest temperatures and pressures for which reliable information is available. 

To show how y, T, and free energies are linked, we first find an expression for TKC1 in terms of yRNA> and then connect TKCi to Eq. (21.13). We begin by expanding the definition of rKC1 using a standard property of partial derivatives, the Euler chain rule... 

A standard thermodynamic value occurs with all components at 25 °C and 100 kPa. This thermodynamic standard state is slightly different from the standard temperature and pressure (STP) often used for gas law problems ( 0 °C and 1 atm=101.325 kPa). Standard properties of common chemicals are listed in tables. 

Appropriate codes for new tank construction include ASME Section VIII Pressure Vessel Code, API 650 for Atmospheric Tanks, API 620 for Low-Pressure Storage Tanks. Appropriate codes for other aspects include ANSI/ASME B31.3 Code for Pressure Piping, the National Fire Protection Association Codes, Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association standards, property insurance guidelines, and any local or federal requirements. 

Elastomer materials specifications usually do not focus on the adhesive properties, but mainly address the chemical and physical properties of the rubber. Thus, the supplier has wide latitude within the specification to make changes in the compound formulation that could be disastrous to the adhesive bond. One solution is to qualify every new lot of elastomer material for adhesion as well as the more standard properties. 

The function A G° v,G° in Eq. (15.14) is the weighted difference (recall that the Vs are positive for products and negative for reactants) between the Gibbs energies of the products and reactants when each is in its standard state as a pure substance at the system temperature and at a fixed pressure. Thus the value of A G° is fixed for a given reaction once the temperature is established, and is independent of the equilibrium pressure and composition. Other standard property changes of reaction are similarly defined. Thus, for the general property M, we write... 

Since the standard-state temperature is that of the equilibrium mixture, the standard property changes of reaction, such as A G° and AH°, vary with the equilibrium temperature. The dependence of AG° on T is given by Eq. (15.16), which may be rewritten as... 

There are two ways to improve the accuracy of the calculation, viz. by using a "standard property" or by using a "standard substance". We shall explain what is meant by these terms. 

Let us assume that the required physical property of a substance, e.g. its surface tension, is unknown, but that another property, e.g. its refractive index, has been measured with great accuracy. Then we can use the latter as a standard property and apply the formula... 

If no experimental data are available, calculation by means of the group contributions to the parachor gives a reliable approximation. A still higher accuracy can be reached if the methods of "standard properties" or "standard substances", discussed in Chap. 3, are applied.
