The maximum in Cv will occur at p < Pc, where (b2p/bT2)p = 0, from Eq. 2. At p =PC we may write PcCv=T(=PIOTI)pe [7] from which it may be seen that, as Cv approaches infinity when T above the critical point approaches TC, the behavior of (62p/aT2)", parallels that of Cv. As the critical point is approached, the maxima in Fig. 1 become sharper and sharper, assuming that Cv and, hence, (b2A/bT2)) diverge, until at T, the curves have the appearance shown in Fig. 2.

Viscosity arises from jump of molecules from one layer to another in case of a gas. There is a transfer of momentum of molecules from faster layer to slower layer or vice-versa. Let us consider a gas having laminar flow over a horizontal surface OX with a velocity smaller than the thermal velocity of the molecule. The velocity of the gaseous layer in contact with the surface is zero which goes on increasing upon increasing the distance from OX towards OY (the direction perpendicular to OX) at a uniform rate . Suppose a layer ‘B’ of the gas is at a certain distance from the fixed surface OX having velocity ‘v’. Two layers ‘A’ and ‘C’ above and below are taken into consideration at a distance ‘l’ (mean free path of the gaseous molecules) so that the molecules moving vertically up and down can’t collide while moving between the two layers. Thus, the velocity of a gas in the layer ‘A’ ---------- (i) = + Likely, the velocity of the gas in the layer ‘C’ ---------- (ii) The gaseous molecules are moving in all directions due= to −thermal velocity; therefore, it may be supposed that of the gaseous molecules are moving along the three Cartesian coordinates each.

  • Chapter 3 3.4-2 the Compressibility Factor Equation of State
    Chapter 3 3.4-2 The Compressibility Factor Equation of State The dimensionless compressibility factor, Z, for a gaseous species is defined as the ratio pv Z = (3.4-1) RT If the gas behaves ideally Z = 1. The extent to which Z differs from 1 is a measure of the extent to which the gas is behaving nonideally. The compressibility can be determined from experimental data where Z is plotted versus a dimensionless reduced pressure pR and reduced temperature TR, defined as pR = p/pc and TR = T/Tc In these expressions, pc and Tc denote the critical pressure and temperature, respectively. A generalized compressibility chart of the form Z = f(pR, TR) is shown in Figure 3.4-1 for 10 different gases. The solid lines represent the best curves fitted to the data. Figure 3.4-1 Generalized compressibility chart for various gases10. It can be seen from Figure 3.4-1 that the value of Z tends to unity for all temperatures as pressure approach zero and Z also approaches unity for all pressure at very high temperature. If the p, v, and T data are available in table format or computer software then you should not use the generalized compressibility chart to evaluate p, v, and T since using Z is just another approximation to the real data. 10 Moran, M.

  • Changes in State and Latent Heat
    Physical State/Latent Heat Changes in State and Latent Heat Physical States of Water Latent Heat Physical States of Water The three physical states of matter that we normally encounter are solid, liquid, and gas. Water can exist in all three physical states at ordinary temperatures on the Earth's surface. When water is in the vapor state, as a gas, the water molecules are not bonded to each other. They float around as single molecules. When water is in the liquid state, some of the molecules bond to each other with hydrogen bonds. The bonds break and re-form continually. When water is in the solid state, as ice, the molecules are bonded to each other in a solid crystalline structure. This structure is six- sided, with each molecule of water connected to four others with hydrogen bonds. Because of the way the crystal is arranged, there is actually more empty space between the molecules than there is in liquid water, so ice is less dense. That is why ice floats. Latent Heat Each time water changes physical state, energy is involved. In the vapor state, the water molecules are very energetic. The molecules are not bonded with each other, but move around as single molecules. Water vapor is invisible to us, but we can feel its effect to some extent, and water vapor in the atmosphere is a very important http://daphne.palomar.edu/jthorngren/latent.htm (1 of 4) [4/9/04 5:30:18 PM] Physical State/Latent Heat factor in weather and climate.

Properties Cryogenic Liquefied Gases are also known as Refrigerated Liquefied Gases or Deeply Refrigerated Gases and are commonly called Cryogenic Liquids. Cryogenic Gases are cryogenic liquids that have been vaporised and may still be at a low temperature. Cryogenic liquids are used for their low temperature properties or to allow larger quantities to be stored or transported. They are extremely cold, with boiling points below -150°C (-238°F).

  • The Particle Model of Matter 5.1
    The Particle Model of Matter 5.1 More than 2000 years ago in Greece, a philosopher named Democritus suggested that matter is made up of tiny particles too small to be seen. He thought that if you kept cutting a substance into smaller and smaller pieces, you would eventually come to the smallest possible particles—the building blocks of matter. Many years later, scientists came back to Democritus’ idea and added to it. The theory they developed is called the particle model of matter. LEARNING TIP There are four main ideas in the particle model: Are you able to explain the 1. All matter is made up of tiny particles. particle model of matter in your own words? If not, re-read the main ideas and examine the illustration that goes with each. 2. The particles of matter are always moving. 3. The particles have spaces between them. 4. Adding heat to matter makes the particles move faster. heat Scientists find the particle model useful for two reasons. First, it provides a reasonable explanation for the behaviour of matter. Second, it presents a very important idea—the particles of matter are always moving. Matter that seems perfectly motionless is not motionless at all. The air you breathe, your books, your desk, and even your body all consist of particles that are in constant motion. Thus, the particle model can be used to explain the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. It can also be used to explain what happens in changes of state (Figure 1 on the next page).

Several models describe these reactions such as volume reaction model, grain model, random pore model and nucleation model.

A new approximate solution technique (quantized method) has been introduced for some of these models in recent years.

  • Notes for States of Matter/Boiling, Melting and Freezing Points/ and Changes in Matter
    Notes for States of Matter/Boiling, Melting and Freezing Points/ and Changes in Matter Matter can be described as anything that takes up space and has mass. There are three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a definite shape and volume. The particles are tightly packed and move very slowly. Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of the container they are in. The particles are farther apart. The particles move and slide past each other. Gases have no volume or shape. The particles move freely and rapidly. The boiling, freezing and melting points are constant for each type of matter. For water, the boiling point is 100°C/ freezing and melting points are 0°C. Adding salt to water decreases the freezing point of water. That is why salt is put on icy roads in the winter or why salt is added to an old-fashioned ice cream maker. Adding salt to water increases the boiling point of water. States of matter can be changed by adding or lessening heat. When a substance is heated, the particles move rapidly. Heated solid turns into liquid and heated liquid turns into gas. Removing heat (cooling) turns gas into liquid and turns liquid into solid. Evaporation happens when a substances is heated. Condensation happens when a substance is cooled.
