    PURE SUBSTANCE

    A pure substance is identified as a substance which has a

    fixed chemical composition throughout its mass ie

    Homogenous.

    It can be a mixture of two or more substances as long as

    the mixture is homogenous. For example Air

    It can be of different physical appearance as long as the

    chemical composition is same. For example

    Water and Steam is a pure substance (H2O)

    Oil and Steam is not a pure substance as they have

    different chemical composition and do not mix to become

    homogenous. On the other hand Salt and water could be

    considered a pure substance if salt dissolves

    homogenously in water.

    Further the composition must not change with time eg

    Mixture of Air and Fuel Vapor is Homogenous as long as

    they do not react. Once reaction starts then the

    composition changes and it is not a pure Substance

    Now it may be possible that once Reaction is completedthen the products could form a homogenous mixture and

    could be considered a pure substance.

    It is important for us to identify the pure substance and

    then analyse it.

    PHASES OF A PURE SUBSTANCE

    We have seen in daily life that material as well as pure

    substances can exist as Solids, Liquids and Gas. One

    lid)example is H2O which can be found as

    Ice( Solid) , Water(Liquid) and Gas ( Steam)

    Furthermore a Pure Substance can have different

    appearance in its Principal Phase:-

    Carbon in its solid phase can exist as Graphite as well as

    Diamond. They are made of the same molecules but their

    molecular structure is different.

    Iron has three solid phases

    Ice has seven solid phases at High Pressures

    Why do we have different phases?

    The answer lies in their molecular structure and thebonding between the molecules.

    Molecular Bonds are the strongest in Solids and are the

    weakest in gases. When we heat a solid , it melts because

    the molecular bonds are weakened by heat and the

    substance becomes a liquid and on further heating

    becomes a Gas.

    Heat has a profound effect on change of phase, alongwith

    pressure.

    Lets look at the three phases in details.

    3/31

    SOLIDS

    The molecules in a solid are arranged in a fixed pattern,

    and remain in these fixed positions by the strong inter-

    molecular bonds.

    So in solid phase Molecules oscillate about their fixed

    positions.

    These oscillations become faster as the temperature of

    the substance rises. The effect of high temperature is to

    weaken the molecular bonds , and the molecules break

    away.

    THIS IS WHAT IS KNOWN AS MELTING PROCESS

    LIQUIDS

    In liquids , the molecules are no longer in fixed positionsrelative to each other. Group of molecules float abouteach other , but the group of molecules maintain anorderly structure among themselves, and remain fixed intheir groups.Inter molecular distances are larger than those in solidsand bonds are also weaker compared to solids.GASES

    Here the molecular distances are large , and there is no

    fixed molecular pattern. Molecules are moving randomly,

    and continuously collide with each other. Bonds are very

    weak and molecules in the gaseous phase have high

    energy levels.Thus we a Gas condenses or freezes, it

    releases a large amount of Energy, mostly in the form of

    heat.

    PHASE CHANGE

    Now we are aware that pure substances have different

    phases , and also two or three phases of a pure

    substance can co-exist in equilibrium.

    Water and ice can exist as two phases at a particular

    Temperature and pressure

    Water and Steam can also exist as two phases.

    Now we also know that phase change can take place but

    not all the time. It requires a specific condition.

    Lets look into this in more detail by investigating the phase

    change of water.

    Lets take water at 1 atm and 20 oC, in a piston cylinder

    arrangement. We heat the water at CONSTANT PRESSURE.

    If we keep heating until the temperature is 100 oC , and if

    we keep heating we find that the temperature reaches

    100 oC , and further heat will cause vaporization.

    A liquid about to vaporize is known as

    SATURATED LIQUID.

    1 Atm20 oC

    As we heat the water we see that itstemperature rises, but it remains aliquid.

    This state is known as

    COMPRESSED LIQUID or

    SUB COOLED LIQUID

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    5/31

    Now if we keep on heating the water starts boiling and

    steam starts to form, but

    THE TEMPERATURE DOES NOT RISE

    Here both Liquid and Gas phase co-exist and their mixture

    is known as SATURATED MIXTURE

    Because of heat addition , all the water will vaporize into

    steam.

    HERE THE VAPOR IS SATURATED VAPOR

    This is because if we remove heat , at point the vapor will

    condense. Lets see this on a Temperature and specific

    volume diagram:-

    State 1-2 is compressed liquid

    State 2-4 is saturated state, a mixture of Saturated Liquid

    and Saturated Vapor

    Once the liquid is completely vapor, ADDITION OF HEAT

    WILL CAUSE TEMPERATURE OF VAPOR TO RISE

    This is known as SUPERHEATED VAPOR

    So if we have steam at 1 atm and 180 oC, and if we

    remove heat , the process will move in reverse direction,

    but condensation will take place at 100 oC.

    So we see that at a pressure of 1 atm between

    20 100 oC Temp of water changes but it remains as

    water. Phase does not change.

    At 100 oC Temp. does not change. Phase Changes

    100 180 oC Temp of vapor changes but it remains as

    vapor. Phase does not change

    SATURATION TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE

    We have seen that at 1 atm , the change of phase takes

    place at 100oC.

    If the pressure was not allowed to remain constant , then

    the phase would be at a different temperature.THUS CHANGE OF PHASE OCCURS AT A FIXED

    TEMPERATURE FOR A FIXED PRESSURE.

    This combination of Pressure and Temperature is known

    as Saturation Pressure and Saturation Temperature

    For water we have

    LATENT HEATS

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    7/31

    To change phase we need to either add Heat or remove

    Heat. This energy is known as LATENT HEAT.

    When we change from solid to liquid ( MELTING)

    or change from liquid to solid ( FREEZING)

    Then the heat required for melting of heat removed for

    freezing is called as LATENT HEAT OF FUSION

    When we change from liquid to gas ( VAPORIZATION)

    or change from gas to liquid ( CONDENSATION)

    Then the heat required for VAPORIZATION of heat

    removed for condensation is called as LATENT HEAT OF

    VAPORIZATION.

    The Latent Heats have specific value for each

    combination of Saturation Temperature and Pressure. We

    will see how to evaluate these values at a later stage.

    LIQUID VAPOR SATURATION CURVES

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    We have seen that TSatand PSathave a fixed relationship

    for each pure substance. ( )SAT SAT T f P= . So if we plot it

    for a pure substance we get

    Thus if Saturation pressure drops Saturation temperature

    also reduces.

    Thus at high altitudes Water boils at less than 100oC,

    because of low pressures at high altitude

    Sometimes one wants to cook at high temperature , so we

    use pressure cookers. This allows Boiling temperature to

    increase.

    Property Diagrams

    We can draw P-v-T diagrams of phase change by keeping

    one property constant. If we want to make a T-v diagram

    we keep Pressure Constant , and then make it for water.

    We will observe the following trend

    We see that at each pressure there is a temperature

    where the liquid changes to gas and then again the

    temperature increases. Now as the pressure increases

    the phase change line becomes shorter and shorter. At a

    pressure of 22.09 MPa the phase change becomes a

    point. At this point the temperature is 374.14 oC. This point

    is known as CRITICAL POINT. Here Saturated Liquid and

    Saturated vapor States are identical.

    At this point the we have Critical Pressure, Critical

    temperature and critical specific volume. For water

    Critical Pressure is 22.09 Mpa

    Critical temperature is 374.14 oC

    Critical specific volume is 0.003155 m3/kg

    For helium it is

    Critical Pressure is 0.23 Mpa

    Critical temperature is -267.85oC

    Critical specific volume is 0.01444 m3/kg

    At pressures above PCritical the phase change will not be

    distinct. A sudden change will take place and it cannot bepredicted.

    Generally we refer to any substance as SUPERHEATED

    VAPOR above its Critical Temperature. and as

    COMPRESSED LIQUID below Critical Temperature.

    Now in the above diagram we connect the saturated

    states points we get the following:-

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    11/31

    Similarily we can get a P-v diagram keeping the

    temperature constant.

    In P-v diagrams the constant temperature line are nearly

    straight.We will learn about how to use these diagrams at

    a later stage in the course

    SOLID PHASE. We have uptill looked at equilibrium

    states of liquid , vapor and liquid- vapor states. We will

    now look at the Solid Phase. So if we reduce pressure

    and temp. we get into solid phase. Lets make a P-v

    This is a P-v diagram of a substance which contracts on

    freezing. There are substances which expand on freezing

    like water. This entails a slightly P-v diagram .

    The Triple Line is the point where Vapor + Liquid + Solid

    can exist together. At Triple Line the Pressure and

    Temperature is fixed. The specific volume can change.

    The change from Solid to Vapor is known as

    SUBLIMATION

    The triple point data of a few substances is as follows

    OXYGEN 0.1502 kPa -218.81 oC

    We can also make a P-T diagram and it will look like this

    At triple point all three phases co exist.

    P-v-T SURFACES.

    We had earlier stated the two property rule. So we can fix

    the state of a substance by two Independent Intensive

    Properties. Then other properties will become dependent

    on these two properties. We can thus relate P-v-T and

    present it on a 3-Dimensional graph. These are shown in

    Fig 2-26 and 2-27.

    Vapor Pressure and Phase Equilibrium

    A gas exerts pressure . This pressure is due to the force

    exerted by the moving molecules in the gas. In fact

    Now atmospheric air consists of Dry air and water vapor

    so atm dry air water vapor w v P p p p is known as vapor pressure= +

    Pw v is generally about 3 % of Patm

    The vapor pressure is due to the molecules of water vapor

    in atmospheric air. However air can only absorb a certain

    amount of water vapor. We thus define a term called

    Relative Humidity which is defined as

    .

    . .

    Actual amount of water vapor in air at temp T

    Max amount of which can be held in air at temp T =

    varies from 0 to 100 %

    0 % is called dry air

    100 % is moist air or Rain

    Now the vapor pressure of water vapor is a max when the

    water vapor present exerts a pressure equal to its

    saturation pressure at the existing temperature. It has

    been found that @v Sat T P P= so

    if =60 % and T=25oC then at 25oC the value of

    Psat=3.17 kPa so Pv=0.6(3.17)=1.9 kPa

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    17/31

    Since Psat increases with increase of Temperature so at

    high Temperatures air can hold more moisture. So

    wherever we have high humidity area ie moist climates we

    have FOG(suspended droplets) when temperature drops

    or DEW(Liquid Water) on cold surfaces.

    PHASE EQUILIBRIUM

    Now if we take liquid water in open air , we find that it will

    start evaporating.

    In DRY AIR evaporation is faster , because air has more

    capacity to hold water vapor.

    Now as the vapor goes into atmosphere it increases the

    quantity of vapor in the air. A time will come when the air

    will not accept any more water vapor. This is because the

    air has become saturated with water vapor.This is the point of phase equilibrium. This is governed by

    the fact that :

    THE VAPOR PRESSURE IN THE AIR IS EQUAL TO

    THE SATURATION PRESSURE OF WATER AT THE

    TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR.

    w vapor Sat of water Water p P at T=

    This is valid for water exposed to air.

    If pvapor in air is less than Psat of waterat water temperature ,

    then water will evaporate in open air. The larger the

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    18/31

    difference between PSat of water and pvapor , the greater the

    evaporation.

    Evaporation will cool the water and water temperature will

    reduce. As a reduction in water temperature will reduce

    PSat of water , so evaporation will reduce until a balance is

    achieved. This is phase equilibrium between the vapor

    and liquid water.

    We can however increase the evaporation , by increasing

    the water temperature. Hence hot water will evaporate

    faster than cold water in the same environment. We will

    study about this when we study air conditioning in the next

    semester.

    PROPERTY TABLES AND CHARTS

    Since systems require values of properties for their state

    identification , so we need to know how to evaluate the

    properties. This is done by

    A. Generating mathematical functions to relate

    properties

    B. Do experiments and develop experimental data

    C. Both

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    19/31

    Also sometimes we combine certain properties to get a

    new property . We will see a lot of these but at present we

    look at one very important combination called ENTHALPY

    ENTHALPY is a property made up by combining Internal

    energy , Pressure and Volume and given symbol H

    .

    /

    , int

    H U PV with units of Joules called Enthalpy

    So Enthalpy is a property which is representative of

    energy.

    SATURATED LIQUID AND SATURATED VAPOR STATE

    On the saturation line points left of Critical point are

    Saturated Liquid points.(f)

    Points right of Critical point are Saturated vapor points.(g)

    So volume at Sat. Liquid line is denoted by vfand volume

    of saturated by vg

    Similarily all properties related to saturated liquid will be

    indicated by subscript f . Thus uf , hf ,

    And Similarily all properties related to saturated vapor will

    be indicated by subscript g . Thus ug , hg ,

    vf-g= vg vf= Difference of Sat vapor and Sat Liquid

    Specific volumes at the same saturation conditions.

    hf-g= hg hf= Difference of Sat vapor and Sat Liquid

    Specific enthalpies at the same saturation conditions.

    uf-g= ug uf= Difference of Sat vapor and Sat LiquidSpecific internal energies at the same saturation

    conditions.

    hf-g is called Enthalpy of Vaporization or

    LATENT HEAT OF VAPORIZATION

    hf-g decreases at Psatand TSat increases

    hf-g =0 at Critical Point

    For water these properties are given in what is known as

    Steam tables and these are given in your book as table

    4,5,and 6. Lets look at few examples like 2-2,2-3 and 2-4.

    In the saturated liquid-vapor region both exist in

    equilibrium. So here mass of mixture is equal to the

    mass of liquid + mass of vapor.

    At this point we define the quality of the mixture as

    All liquid have temp less than Tsat for its pressure.

    Generally very less data is kept for compressed liquid as it

    is Independent of Pressure. Generally vComp. Liquid= vfat its

    temp ,

    uComp. Liquid= ufat its temp and hComp. Liquid=hfat its temp

    This is valid for low pressures like point 3

    For high pressure h=hf + vf(P Psat) only as enthalpy is

    sensitive to pressure.

    REFERENCE STATE

    Generally the value of u and h are calculated with

    respect to a reference state where h and u of the

    substance is considered zero.

    For water this is 0.01 oc as Tsat

    For refrigerant 134-A it is -40o

    CThe calculation of these properties will be learnt in

    semester III

    IDEAL GAS EQUATION OF STATE

    We have seen that properties of water is found

    experimentally, and presented in tables. We will now look

    at Ideal Gases.

    Any Equation that relates Pressure,Volume and

    Temperature is called as EQUATION OF STATE.

    The other properties can then be defined by further

    equations like H = U+PV. This can also be called an

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    25/31

    Equation of State. However for our studies we will refer to

    only that equation which links P,V and T.

    Before we look at the IDEAL GAS EQN. OF STATE we

    need to be clear about what is a Gas and what is a vapor.

    A SUBSTANCE IS A GAS WHEN IT IS ABOVE ITS

    CRITICAL TEMPERATURE.

    It is a vapor when it is below its critical temperature . A

    vapor is easily condensable , while a gas is not easily

    condensable.

    The EQUATION OF STATE OF AN IDEAL GAS is given

    by PV=mRT where P= Pressure in Pa

    T=Absolute Temperature in oK , V=Volume in m3

    R=Gas Constant in Joules per kg peroK

    m= mass in kgR= Gas Constant and is different for each gas.

    Now PV=mRT can be written as Pv=RT by dividing both

    sides by the mass and designating v= specific volume.

    tan 8314uU o

    R JoulesR where R Universal Gas Cons t

    M k mol K = = =

    The value of RU is the same for all Gases.

    M=Molar Mass and it is equal to mass of one Mole of gas.

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    26/31

    Mole of a gas is the Molecular weight( Mass of Molecules)

    of the gas expressed in grams or kilograms. generally

    K.Mol is used.

    So if we have Oxygen then its molecular weight is 32 so

    1 K.mol of Oxygen has a mass of 32 kg/K.mol

    Hydrogen has molecular weight of 2 so 1 K.mol of

    hydrogen has mass of 2kg/k.mol

    The number of molecules in a mole is given by the value

    of N. Generally if m=mass then m=MN

    so if we have 93 kg of oxygen then since for oxygen

    M=32 kg/K.mol so

    93 kg= 32 kg/K.mol(N) so N=2.906 K.mol

    If we now have to find R of other gases we can do the

    Now if an ideal gas goes from one state to another state

    28/31

    IDEAL GASES ARE NOT FOUND IN NATURE.

    However most gases found in our world ( known as Real

    Gases) behave like ideal gases with great degree of

    accuracy.

    Most gases behave in an Ideal Manner at

    LOW PRESSURES AND HIGH TEMPERATURES.

    Water Vapor behaves like an ideal gas below 10 kPa even

    if temperature is Low. ( Area of low density)

    At High Pressures Water vapor does not behave like an

    ideal gas.( Area of high density)

    Since most gases may not behave as an ideal gas for

    accuracy , so we must have some way of dealing with

    non-ideal gases with accuracy. This is done by looking at

    the concept of Compressibility Factor.

    COMPRESSIBILITY FACTOR

    Then at state 1 P1v

    1=RT

    1and

    at state 2 P2v

    2= R T

    2and since

    R remains constant so we say

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    29/31

    Most gases deviate from Ideal gas behaviour near the

    Saturation Region and near the Critical point. To account

    for this deviation we use the concept of COMPRSIBILITY

    FACTOR(Z) where

    actual

    ideal

    vPvZ or Pv ZRT so Z

    RT v= = =

    For Ideal Gas Z=1.00

    Now we had earlier said that most gases behave ideally atLow Pressures and High Temperatures.

    But what is Low Pressures and High Temperatures?

    at -100oC N2 and Air behave as ideal gases. Now

    we see that for N2 CP Temp is -147oC and

    for Air is -140oC

    Most gases will liquefy at these temperatures. So to

    determine the region of Ideal gas behavior we define two

    quantities

    THIS IS CALLED AS

    PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDING STATES

    In Fig 2-57 Z is plotted against PR for various TR

  • 7/28/2019 Thermo Chap II

    30/31

    Most gases have same Z at the same PR and TR

    Real gases obey the Principle of Corresponding states.

    The charts are known as generalized charts and are given

    in Figures A-29 a,b,c. If we look at these charts we see

    a. At very low pressures PR>2, Ideal gas behaviour is

    experienced regardless of Pressure except when

    PR>>1

    c. Z has very low values at PR=1 and TR=1. Very poor

    ideal gas behaviour.

    If P and v are given or T and v are given then we can still

    use the compressibility chart . For this we define

    Other Scientists have also worked on generating

    Equations of state for real gases. These are as follows:-
