Water vapor heat capacities

Vinyl acetate is a colorless, flammable Hquid having an initially pleasant odor which quickly becomes sharp and irritating. Table 1 Hsts the physical properties of the monomer. Information on properties, safety, and handling of vinyl acetate has been pubUshed (5—9). The vapor pressure, heat of vaporization, vapor heat capacity, Hquid heat capacity, Hquid density, vapor viscosity, Hquid viscosity, surface tension, vapor thermal conductivity, and Hquid thermal conductivity profile over temperature ranges have also been pubHshed (10). Table 2 (11) Hsts the solubiHty information for vinyl acetate. Unlike monomers such as styrene, vinyl acetate has a significant level of solubiHty in water which contributes to unique polymerization behavior. Vinyl acetate forms azeotropic mixtures (Table 3) (12). 

An aqueous slurry at 30 C containing 20.0 wt% solids is fed to an evaporator in which enough water is vaporized at 1 atm to produce a product slurry containing 35.0 wt% solids. Heat is supplied to the evaporator by feeding saturated steam at 1.6 bar absolute into a coil immersed in the liquid. The steam condenses in the coil, and the slurry boils at the normal boiling point of pure water, The heat capacity of the solids may be taken to be half that of liquid water. 

Humid enthalpy H Heat content at a given temperature T of unit mass of dry air and the moisture it contains, relative to a datum temperature To, usually 0°C. As water is liquid at 0°C, the humid enthalpy also contains a term for the latent heat of water. If heat capacity is invariant with temperature, H = (Cpg 4-Cp Y)(T-To) + XqY, where Xo is the latent heat of water at 0°C, 2501 kj/kg (1075 Btu/lb). In practice, for accurate calculations, it is often easier to obtain the vapor enthalpy H from steam tables, when H = H +... 

Water in film boiling is normal in that it does not give unusual test values. The physical properties for which water is most different from common liquids are the latent heat of vaporization, heat capacity, and... 

The thermal transformation of Type 4A zeolite begins at 550°C, as indicated by the decrease of water vapor adsorption capacity. This capacity is nonexistent after a thermal treatment at 670°C. We have demonstrated that, after grinding the samples which have been heated previously at this temperature, half of the zeolitic phase, characterized by its water retention capacity, remained. The residual zeolite is thermally unstable. It has the same x-ray diffraction pattern as the initial zeolite, but should not have the same chemical composition. We have shown that the solid-solid transformation is accompanied by a closed macroporosity which disappears gradually with sintering. There is every reason to believe that the solid-solid transformation begins at the periphery of the particles and progresses towards the center. 

Clark, Nabavian, and Bromley (11) measured a heat of dilution of concentrated (7%) sea water and heat capacities of normal and concentrated sea water at room temperature. From these data and vapor-pressure data of Arons and Kientzler (I), with the aid of thermodynamic relations they calculated heats of concentration and boiling point elevations. Both of these properties are presented in graphs and tables over a temperature range of 77° to 302° F. and for salt concentrations up to 9%. Integral heat of concentration increases with the temperature up to about 180° F. substantially independent of concentration and then decreases. The maximum value for 7% salts is only about 1.0 B.t.u. per pound of original sea water and hence is negligible for most practical purposes. 

As state functions, Cv and Cp depend on pressure and temperature. This dependence is illustrated for Cp in Figure 3-8. which shows the constant-pressure heat capacity of water as a function of pressure at selected temperatures. In general, the heat capacity of the liquid is higher than that of the vapor heat capacity is a strong function of pressure in the vapor phase but almost independent of pressure in the liquid. In both phases, Cp is fairly sensitive on temperature. Following an isotherm to zero pressure we... 

Temperature control is essential and is achieved by boiling a hydrocarbon heat transfer fluid on the outside of the reactor tubes. This vaporized fluid is then condensed in a heat exchanger by transferring heat to a stream of saturated liquid water at 100 bar to produce saturated stream at 100 bar. The reactor feed is 11% C2H4, 13% O2 and the rest N2 at 360°C at 10 bar. The reactor product stream is at 375°C and 10 bar and the conversion of C2H4 is 22% with a 83% selectivity for C2H4O. At the operating pressure used in this system, the heat transfer fluid boils at 350°C with a heat of vaporization of 500 Btu/lb and has a liquid heat capacity of 0.8 Btu/lb °C and a vapor heat capacity of 0.4 Btu/lb °C. The flow of heat transfer fluid is adjusted so that it enters the reactor as liquid at 340°C and leaves as a two-phase mixture with vapor fraction of 21% (see Fig. P2.31). 

VOCs can also be removed by adsorption processes (vapor recovery). In this case, ACCs are used in preference over GAC because they are more easily contained, have faster adsorption kinetics and higher adsorption capacities, and can be regenerated, in situ, by electro-thermal methods (resistive heating). ACCs have been chemically modified by treatment with ammonia (to introduce basic nitrogen complexes), chlorine (to introduce polar —Cl groups) and nitric acid (to introduce acidic oxygen complexes). In this way, the water vapor adsorption capacity can be tailored to obtain ACCs with enhanced adsorption of individual VOCs in the presence of humidity. 

Physical Properties. Sulfur dioxide [7446-09-5] SO2, is a colorless gas with a characteristic pungent, choking odor. Its physical and thermodynamic properties ate Hsted in Table 8. Heat capacity, vapor pressure, heat of vaporization, density, surface tension, viscosity, thermal conductivity, heat of formation, and free energy of formation as functions of temperature ate available (213), as is a detailed discussion of the sulfur dioxide—water system (215). 

Thermodynamic and physical properties of water vapor, Hquid water, and ice I are given ia Tables 3—5. The extremely high heat of vaporization, relatively low heat of fusion, and the unusual values of the other thermodynamic properties, including melting poiat, boiling poiat, and heat capacity, can be explained by the presence of hydrogen bonding (2,7). 

Gas flow in these rotary dryers may be cocurrent or countercurrent. Cocurrent operation is preferred for heat-sensitive materials because gas and product leave at the same temperature. Countercurrent operation allows a product temperature higher than the exit gas temperature and dryer efficiency may be as high as 70%. Some dryers have enlarged cylinder sections at the material exit end to increase material holdup, reduce gas velocity, and minimize dusting. Indirectly heated tubes are installed in some dryers for additional heating capacity. To prevent dust and vapor escape at the cylinder seals, most rotary dryers operate at a negative internal pressure of 50—100 Pa (0.5—1.0 cm of water).

Methods are presented for the correlation of observed experimental data to physical properties such as critical properties, normal boiling point, molar volume, vapor pressure, heats of vaporization and fusion, heat capacity, surface tension, viscosity, thermal conductivity, acentric factor, flammability limits, enthalpy of formation, Gibbs energy, entropy, activity coefficients, Henry s constant, octanol—water partition coefficients, diffusion coefficients, virial coefficients, chemical reactivity, and toxicological parameters. 

Humid heat c, is the heat capacity of 1 lb of diy air and the moisture it contains. For most engineering calculations, c, = 0.24 + 0.45H, where 0.24 and 0.45 are the heat capacities of diy air and water vapor, respec tively, and both are assumed constant. 

The dimensionless number Le is called the Lewis number (m Russian literature it is called the Luikov number). The Lewis number incorporates the specific heat capacity of humid air pCp (J/m C), the diffusion factor of water vapor in... 

Because the specific heat capacity of the water vapor is different from that of the dry air, the true dry-bulb mixed-stream air temperature can be determined only by means of a heat balance. 

Calorific value The measure of the heating capacity of a fuel, usually expressed as the available heat resulting from the complete combustion of that fuel in kj kg or kj nr Gross calorific value includes the heat of condensation of the water vapor in a hydrogen fuel net calorific value excludes this. 

The reaction of 1.40 g of carbon monoxide with excess water vapor to produce carbon dioxide and hydrogen gases in a bomb calorimeter causes the temperature of the calorimeter assembly to rise from 22.113°C to 22.799°C. The calorimeter assembly is known to have a total heat capacity of 3.00 kJ-(°C). (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction. 

Calculate the standard entropy of vaporization of water at 85°C, given that its standard entropy of vaporization at 100.°C is 109.0 J-K -mol 1 and the molar heat capacities at constant pressure of liquid water and water vapor are 75.3 J-K -mol 1 and 33.6 J-K -mol, respectively, in this range.
