  • Real Gases – As Opposed to a Perfect Or Ideal Gas – Exhibit Properties That Cannot Be Explained Entirely Using the Ideal Gas Law
    Basic principle II Second class Dr. Arkan Jasim Hadi 1. Real gas Real gases – as opposed to a perfect or ideal gas – exhibit properties that cannot be explained entirely using the ideal gas law. To understand the behavior of real gases, the following must be taken into account: compressibility effects; variable specific heat capacity; van der Waals forces; non-equilibrium thermodynamic effects; Issues with molecular dissociation and elementary reactions with variable composition. Critical state and Reduced conditions Critical point: The point at highest temp. (Tc) and Pressure (Pc) at which a pure chemical species can exist in vapour/liquid equilibrium. The point critical is the point at which the liquid and vapour phases are not distinguishable; because of the liquid and vapour having same properties. Reduced properties of a fluid are a set of state variables normalized by the fluid's state properties at its critical point. These dimensionless thermodynamic coordinates, taken together with a substance's compressibility factor, provide the basis for the simplest form of the theorem of corresponding states The reduced pressure is defined as its actual pressure divided by its critical pressure : The reduced temperature of a fluid is its actual temperature, divided by its critical temperature: The reduced specific volume ") of a fluid is computed from the ideal gas law at the substance's critical pressure and temperature: This property is useful when the specific volume and either temperature or pressure are known, in which case the missing third property can be computed directly. 1 Basic principle II Second class Dr. Arkan Jasim Hadi In Kay's method, pseudocritical values for mixtures of gases are calculated on the assumption that each component in the mixture contributes to the pseudocritical value in the same proportion as the mol fraction of that component in the gas.

    Equation of state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 頁 1 / 8 Equation of state From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In physics and thermodynamics, an equation of state is a relation between state variables.[1] More specifically, an equation of state is a thermodynamic equation describing the state of matter under a given set of physical conditions. It is a constitutive equation which provides a mathematical relationship between two or more state functions associated with the matter, such as its temperature, pressure, volume, or internal energy. Equations of state are useful in describing the properties of fluids, mixtures of fluids, solids, and even the interior of stars.

AQUA bases on the H.G.K, water code, yet supplies - besides of the pressure and heat capacity functions - also the thermal conductivity, viscosity and the surface tension. AQUA calculates in a new way the thermal properties in the two phase region, which is more realistic as the one used in the H.G.K, code. AQUA is equipped with new, fast runnig routines to convert temperature-density dependent states into temperature-pressure ones. AQUA has a version to be used on line and versions adapted for batch calculations. A complete description of the code is included. Thermische Eigenschaften des Wassers. Zusammenfassung. Der Bericht befaßt sich mit dem Code AQUA. AQUA wurde im Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe entwickelt um bei der Untersuchung von Dampfexplosionen die thermischen Eigenschaften des Wassers zu liefern.

Introduction generator and isolated feed water / main steam line, cannot be directly applied to SMART with T-CO2 Northern Sea Route (NSR) located between the system so that the original PRHRS should be replaced Arctic and Russian north coast could save about 40% of with a CO2 based PRHRS (CPRHRS). the sailing distance from Asia (Yokohama) to Europe In this paper, the CPRHRS are designed by (Rotterdam) compared to the conventional route via satisfying NRC requirements and the transient Suez Canal [1] as shown in Fig. 1. performance of the designed system is validated with MARS-KS code. 2. Methods and Results 2.1 CO2 PRHRS design for SMART with T-CO2 cycle Following the NRC recommendations, a new concept of passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) for SMART is suggested to accomplish hot shutdown condition 200oC within 36 hours and maintain the state Fig. 1. Comparison of Northern Sea Route and for 72 hours [4]. The original SMART is equipped with Conventional Route [2] four trains of water-steam operating PRHRS and it was designed to be capable of accomplishing hot shutdown From these reasons, exploration of the NSR is state with only two trains out of four. Similarly, passive receiving attentions for logistics and resource system of the targeted system is considered as the CO2 development but accessibility of NSR for ordinary natural circulation loop through IHX’s CO2 channels for merchant ships is limited due to difficult ice-condition removing residual heat passively.
