Many new data sets have become available, including high accuracy data from single and dual-sinker apparatuses which improve the accuracy of the representation of the p␳T surface of gaseous, liquid, and supercritical nitrogen, including the saturation states. New measurements of the speed of sound from spherical resonators yield accurate information on caloric properties in gaseous and supercritical nitrogen. Isochoric heat capacity and enthalpy data have also been published. Sophisticated procedures for the optimization of the mathematical structure of equations of state and special functional forms for an improved representation of data in the critical region were used. Constraints regarding the structure of the equation ensure reasonable results up to extreme conditions of tempera- ture and pressure. For calibration applications, the new reference equation is supple- mented by a simple but also accurate formulation, valid only for supercritical nitrogen between 250 and 350 K at pressures up to 30 MPa. The uncertainty in density of the new reference equation of state ranges from 0.02% at pressures less than 30 MPa up to 0.6% at very high pressures, except in the range from 270 to 350 K at pressures less than 12 MPa where the uncertainty in density is 0.01%. The equation is valid from the triple point temperature to temperatures of 1000 K and up to pressures of 2200 MPa. From 1000 to 1800 K, the equation was validated with data of limited accuracy. The extrapolation behavior beyond 1800 K is reasonable up to the limits of chemical stability of nitrogen, as indicated by comparison to experimental shock tube data. © 2001 by the U.S. Sec- retary of Commerce on behalf of the United States.

  • Thermal Equilibrium State of the World Oceans
    Thermal equilibrium state of the ocean Rui Xin Huang Department of Physical Oceanography Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA April 24, 2010 Abstract The ocean is in a non-equilibrium state under the external forcing, such as the mechanical energy from wind stress and tidal dissipation, plus the huge amount of thermal energy from the air-sea interface and the freshwater flux associated with evaporation and precipitation. In the study of energetics of the oceanic circulation it is desirable to examine how much energy in the ocean is available. In order to calculate the so-called available energy, a reference state should be defined. One of such reference state is the thermal equilibrium state defined in this study. 1. Introduction Chemical potential is a part of the internal energy. Thermodynamics of a multiple component system can be established from the definition of specific entropy η . Two other crucial variables of a system, including temperature and specific chemical potential, can be defined as follows 1 ⎛⎞∂η ⎛⎞∂η = ⎜⎟, μi =−Tin⎜⎟, = 1,2,..., , (1) Te m ⎝⎠∂ vm, i ⎝⎠∂ i ev, where e is the specific internal energy, v is the specific volume, mi and μi are the mass fraction and chemical potential for the i-th component. For a multiple component system, the change in total chemical potential is the sum of each component, dc , where c is the mass fraction of each component. The ∑i μii i mass fractions satisfy the constraint c 1 . Thus, the mass fraction of water in sea ∑i i = water satisfies dc=− c , and the total chemical potential for sea water is wi∑iw≠ N −1 ∑()μμiwi− dc .

This program, developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), calculates the thermodynamic and transport properties of industrially important fluids and their mixtures. These properties can be displayed in Tables and Plots through the graphical user interface; they are also accessible through spreadsheets or user-written applications accessing the REFPROP dll. REFPROP is based on the most accurate pure fluid and mixture models currently available. It implements three models for the thermodynamic properties of pure fluids: equations of state explicit in Helmholtz energy, the modified Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state, and an extended corresponding states (ECS) model. Mixture calculations employ a model that applies mixing rules to the Helmholtz energy of the mixture components; it uses a departure function to account for the departure from ideal mixing. Viscosity and thermal conductivity are modeled with either fluid-specific correlations, an ECS method, or in some cases the friction theory method.

  • Physical Chemistry Laboratory, I CHEM 445 Experiment 5 Heat Capacity Ratio for Gases (Revised, 1/10/03)
    1 Physical Chemistry Laboratory, I CHEM 445 Experiment 5 Heat Capacity Ratio for Gases (Revised, 1/10/03) The heat capacity for a substance is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the substance by 1 oC or 1 K. The heat capacities depend on the chemical nature of the substance, on the physical state of the substance, on the temperature, and on whether P or V is held constant during the process: CP or CV. For liquids and solids, CV ≈ CP and the two terms are often used interchangeably. However, for ideal gases, it is well known (Tinoco, Jr., Sauer, and Wang or Noggle) that − − CP = CV + R (1) − In this equation, C = molar heat capacity of the gas, either at constant pressure or at constant volume. The bar over a symbol refers to that quantity per mol of substance. The molar heat capacities are defined by the equations, − − − ∂ E − ∂ H CV = and CP = (2) ∂T ∂T V P For a monatomic gas, there is no rotational or vibrational energy and if the temperature is relatively low, only the ground electronic state of the species is populated to any extent. Consequently, only translational energy is involved; and from kinetic theory, − 3R − 5R CV = and CP = (3) 2 2 For polyatomic gases, there are additional forms of energy that contribute to the heat capacity. − − − − E = E(trans) + E(rot) + E(vib) (4) For many simple diatomic molecules, however, the vibrational contribution to the heat 5R capacity is small, and in the neighborhood of room temperature,C = . However, the V 2 heat capacities of diatomic molecules increase with increasing temperature as the vibrational modes become active.

In this context, the thermodynamic state of satu­ rated U0 2 fuel vapor, its internal energy U(T), specific heats Cv(T) and C (T), and enthalpy functions HO(T) and HO(T)-Ho have p 0 been determined by means of statistical mechanics in the tempera- ture range 3000 K .•• 5000 K. The discussion of the thermodynamic state includes the evaluation of the plasma state and its contri­ bution to the caloric variables-of-state of saturated oxide fuel vapor. Because of the extremely high ion and electron density due to thermal ionization, the ionized component of the fuel vapor does no more represent a perfect kinetic plasma - different from the nonionized neutral vapor component with perfect gas kinetic behavior up to about 5000 K.

  • Chapter 5 the Laws of Thermodynamics: Entropy, Free
    Chapter 5 The laws of thermodynamics: entropy, free energy, information and complexity M.W. Collins1, J.A. Stasiek2 & J. Mikielewicz3 1School of Engineering and Design, Brunel University, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UK. 2Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Gdansk University of Technology, Narutowicza, Gdansk, Poland. 3The Szewalski Institute of Fluid–Flow Machinery, Polish Academy of Sciences, Fiszera, Gdansk, Poland. Abstract The laws of thermodynamics have a universality of relevance; they encompass widely diverse fields of study that include biology. Moreover the concept of information-based entropy connects energy with complexity. The latter is of considerable current interest in science in general. In the companion chapter in Volume 1 of this series the laws of thermodynamics are introduced, and applied to parallel considerations of energy in engineering and biology. Here the second law and entropy are addressed more fully, focusing on the above issues. The thermodynamic property free energy/exergy is fully explained in the context of examples in science, engineering and biology. Free energy, expressing the amount of energy which is usefully available to an organism, is seen to be a key concept in biology. It appears throughout the chapter. A careful study is also made of the information-oriented ‘Shannon entropy’ concept. It is seen that Shannon information may be more correctly interpreted as ‘complexity’rather than ‘entropy’. We find that Darwinian evolution is now being viewed as part of a general thermodynamics-based cosmic process. The history of the universe since the Big Bang, the evolution of the biosphere in general and of biological species in particular are all subject to the operation of the second law of thermodynamics.
