Thermodynamic functions real gases

The thermodynamic functions for the gas phase are more easily developed than for the liquid or solid phases, because the temperature-pressure-volume relations can be expressed, at least for low pressures, by an algebraic equation of state. For this reason the thermodynamic functions for the gas phase are developed in this chapter before discussing those for the liquid and solid phases in Chapter 8. First the equation of state for pure ideal gases and for mixtures of ideal gases is discussed. Then various equations of state for real gases, both pure and mixed, are outlined. Finally, the more general thermodynamic functions for the gas phase are developed in terms of the experimentally observable quantities the pressure, the volume, the temperature, and the mole numbers. Emphasis is placed on the virial equation of state accurate to the second virial coefficient. However, the methods used are applicable to any equation of state, and the development of the thermodynamic functions for any given equation of state should present no difficulty. 

As shown in Chap. 6, ideal-gas heat capacities, rather than the actual heat capacities of gases, are used in the evaluation of thermodynamic properties such as internal energy and enthalpy. The reason is that thermodynamic-property evaluation is conveniently accomplished in two steps first, calculation of ideal-gas values from ideal-gas heat capacities second, calculation from PVT data of the differences between real-gas and ideal-gas values. A real gas becomes ideal in the limit as P - 0 if it were to remain ideal when compressed to a finite pressure, its state would remain that of an ideal-gas. Gases in these hypothetical ideal-gas states have properties that reflect their individuality just as do real gases. Ideal-gas heat capacities (designated by Cf and Cy) are therefore different for different gases although functions of temperature, they are independent of pressure. 

One simple universal equation applies to all substances, requiring no substance-specific parameters. However, for most real states, the ideal-gas equation is inadequate, and real-fluid properties are obtained by adding to the ideal-gas equation the contribution of intermolecular potential in the form of deviation functions, also called residual functions. A major objective of Section 4.2 is to derive the deviation functions from the equation of state of the substance. Because the ideal-gas properties are known, to And the deviation function is as good as finding the state function of a real substance. In this way the ideal-gas equation is used universally in all equation-of-state calculations of thermodynamic functions. 

Plutonium. The famous multi-phase behavior of this troublesome metal is a result of many f-states combined with rapid bandnarrowing at the higher temperatures. Since the thermodynamic contribution of the monoxide gas is now quite small (23), even the earliest studies were little different than later ones with much higher-purity metal. Troublesome second/third law problems were partly due to incomplete or inaccurate thermodynamic functions and questions about the real crystal entropy. The presently accepted value of 13.42 shows the effect of an abnormally large electronic specific heat, which is a measure of the many complexities in energy relationships near the Fermi level for this metal. 

The thermodynamic functions for the real fluid less the functions for the ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure or volume (the residual functions) are calculated from the following equations. 

The spreading pressure of a sorbed gas, tt, can be calculated from the sorption isotherm, although it cannot be measured directly. Assuming the sorbent to be thermodynamically inert, and that the surface area is the same at all temperatures for different gases, then the thermodynamic functions for the sorbed phase become analogous to those of a real fluid. 

Such equations (sometimes the expansion is written in powers of P) are called virial equations of state, and the coefficients P, C, D,... are the second, third, fourth,... virial coefficients. The thermodynamic functions Cp, H and S of the real gas deviate from the expressions already presented by correction factors that are functions of the virial coefficients. For example, the deviation of Cp from the ideal gas heat capacity, C°, is given by ... 

We noted in 13.2.3 that the fugacity coefficient, in the form RTXnjf, is a residual function, defined ( 13.2.3) as the difference between a real system thermodynamic function and the same function for an ideal gas under the same conditions. 

There is an appreciable groundwork for development of methods for construction and analysis of trajectories on the MEIS base. It resulted from extensive studies on the search for results of processes possible in the region of thermodynamic attainability D ( /). A key component of these studies is an extension of the experience gained in the convex analysis of ideal systems (Van der Waals and Konstamm, 1936 Zeldovich, 1938 Gorban, 1984) to modeling of real ones (Antsiferov, 1991 Kaganovich et al., 1989, 1993, 1995, 2007, 2010). They may include an ideal (or real) gas phase, plasma, condensed substances, solutions and other components. The components of this analysis are determination of particularities of the objective function and study on the properties of set Dj(y). For MEIS with variable parameters solution of the first mentioned problem proves to be non-tiivial, when the sum in expression (8) with the constant value of y is replaced by the... 

The exponential function in this expression mirrors the influence of the other components (k i) on the adsorption of component (i). The series expansions (7.55, 7.59) can be derived from equivalent virial expansions of the thermal equation of state (EOS) of the single- or multicomponent adsorbate by standard thermodynamic methods. Details are given in [7.2, 7.3]. Real gas effects of the sorptive gas mixture can be taken into account by replacing the partial pressures (pi, i = 1...N) in (7.60) by the (mixture) fugacities (fi = fi (pi... pN, T)) of the system [7.17]. 

Real-gas thermodynamic properties may be expressed as functions of the variables of state, according to relations which may be developed from first principles. A comprehensive list of such relations has been given by Beattie and Stockmayer. For example, the molar enthalpy H, the molar entropy S, and the molar Gibbs energy G of a real gas can be written in terms of p, T, and p (the amount density) as follows ... 

This graph of state is adequate for a general study of a gas near its condensation point, but is of little use for studying thermodynamic functions or the small differences between real and ideal gases at low densities. 

Hea.t Ca.pa.cities. The heat capacities of real gases are functions of temperature and pressure, and this functionaHty must be known to calculate other thermodynamic properties such as internal energy and enthalpy. The heat capacity in the ideal-gas state is different for each gas. Constant pressure heat capacities, (U, for the ideal-gas state are independent of pressure and depend only on temperature. An accurate temperature correlation is often an empirical equation of the form ... 

From this equation, the temperature dependence of is known, and vice versa (21). The ideal-gas state at a pressure of 101.3 kPa (1 atm) is often regarded as a standard state, for which the heat capacities are denoted by CP and Real gases rarely depart significantly from ideaHty at near-ambient pressures (3) therefore, and usually represent good estimates of the heat capacities of real gases at low to moderate, eg, up to several hundred kPa, pressures. Otherwise thermodynamic excess functions are used to correct for deviations from ideal behavior when such situations occur (3). 

It follows that the efficiency of the Carnot engine is entirely determined by the temperatures of the two isothermal processes. The Otto cycle, being a real process, does not have ideal isothermal or adiabatic expansion and contraction of the gas phase due to the finite thermal losses of the combustion chamber and resistance to the movement of the piston, and because the product gases are not at thermodynamic equilibrium. Furthermore the heat of combustion is mainly evolved during a short time, after the gas has been compressed by the piston. This gives rise to an additional increase in temperature which is not accompanied by a large change in volume due to the constraint applied by the piston. The efficiency, QE, expressed as a function of the compression ratio (r) can only be assumed therefore to be an approximation to the ideal gas Carnot cycle. 

Returning to 3D lattice models, one may note that sine-Gordon field theory of the Coulomb gas should enable an RG (e — 4 — D) expansion [15], but this path has obviously not yet followed up. An attempt to establish the universality class of the RPM by a sine-Gordon-based field theory was made by Khodolenko and Beyerlein [105]. However, these authors did not present a scheme for calculating the critical exponents. Rather they argued that the grand partition function can be mapped onto that of the spherical model of Kac and Berlin [106, 297] which predicts a parabolic coexistence curve, i.e. fi — 1/2. This analysis was severely criticized by Fisher [298]. Actually, the spherical model has some unpleasant thermodynamic features, never observed in real fluids. In particular, it is associated with a divergence of the compressibility KTas the coexistence curve (rather than the spinodal line) is approached. By a determination of the exponent y, this possibility could also be ruled out experimentally [95, 97]. 

By that procedure, an additional factor V l appears in the equation of motion of pep [Eq. (4.29)]. This factor leads to the fact that the four-particle processes accounted for in this manner are not real and may vanish in the thermodynamic limit. At least this is true for four-particle scattering states. However, in the limiting case that we have only two-particle bound states, that is, the neutral gas, we can obtain a kinetic equation for the atoms if we use the special definition of the distribution function of the atoms (4.17) and (4.24). Using the ideas just outlined, the kinetic equation (4.62) was obtained. 

The sharp intersection of the liquid Pi(x)- and gas Pg branches at the critical point shown in Fig. 1 implies that the molar internal energy e(v,s) is not a continuous differentiable function of v and s along the CXC for both real and WMG-model fluids. It is the direct confirmation of the singular concept introduced to represent the actual CXC-data of any real fluid by FEOS (1-5). Put in thermodynamic terms, any state-point Ps,T of CXC including the critical point F oT c is, simultaneously, the one phase ...
