Temperature T

Temperature is the property that expresses the energy state or level of inner energy of the molecules of a substance. It is intuitively associated with the feeling of hot or cold of an object (Fig. 2.2). 

The most common method of measuring temperature is with a thermometer, which has a fluid inside that expands when heated. In the International System of Units (SI), temperature is measured on an absolute scale. The unit is called Kelvin (K), and the ideal gas is considered a thermometric fluid. A Kelvin corresponds to approximately 1.38 x 10 J per particle. Degrees Celsius are related to the Kelvin absolute scale as 

In the English system, temperature is measured on the Fahrenheit scale. The unit is called a degree Fahrenheit (°F). The absolute scale of this system corresponds to the Rankine scale (R)

From this representation we can formulate the following equation

For such components, as the composition of the solution approaches that of the pure liquid, the fugacity becomes equal to the mole fraction multiplied by the standard-state fugacity. In this case,the standard-state fugacity for component i is the fugacity of pure liquid i at system temperature T. In many cases all the components in a liquid mixture are condensable and Equation (13) is therefore used for all components in this case, since all components are treated alike, the normalization of activity coefficients is said to follow the symmetric convention. ... 

To use Equation (10b), we require virial coefficients which depend on temperature. As discussed in Appendix A, these coefficients are calculated using the correlation of Hayden and O Connell (1975). The required input parameters are, for each component critical temperature T, critical pressure P, ... 

To predict vapor-liquid or liquid-liquid equilibria in multicomponent systems, we require a method for calculating the fugacity of a component i in a liquid mixture. At system temperature T and system pressure P, this fugacity is written as a product of three terms... 

In some cases, the temperature of the system may be larger than the critical temperature of one (or more) of the components, i.e., system temperature T may exceed T. . In that event, component i is a supercritical component, one that cannot exist as a pure liquid at temperature T. For this component, it is still possible to use symmetric normalization of the activity coefficient (y - 1 as x - 1) provided that some method of extrapolation is used to evaluate the standard-state fugacity which, in this case, is the fugacity of pure liquid i at system temperature T. For highly supercritical components (T Tj,.), such extrapolation is extremely arbitrary as a result, we have no assurance that when experimental data are reduced, the activity coefficient tends to obey the necessary boundary condition 1...

For condensable components, f is the fugacity of pure liquid i at temperature T corrected to zero pressure. 

Tj. is the reduced temperature, T is the critical temperature, is the critical pressure, and is the modified Rackett parameter as given in the supplemental table for pure-component properties.

The temperature, T, and overall mole fractions, Z(I), of the system must be specified. 

The grand composite curve is obtained by plotting the problem table cascade. A typical grand composite curve is shown in Fig. 6.24. It shows the heat flow through the process against temperature. It should be noted that the temperature plotted here is shifted temperature T and not actual temperature. Hot streams are represented ATn,in/2 colder and cold streams AT iJ2 hotter than they are in practice. Thus an allowance for ATj in is built into the construction. 

Thermodynamic quantities which refer to the standard state are denoted by superscript zeros ( ), e.g. AG/, AH/, AS/, the subscript denoting the temperature T of the system.
