Compressibility factor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 頁 1 / 5 Compressibility factor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The compressibility factor (Z), also known as the compression factor, is a useful thermodynamic property for modifying the ideal Thermodynamics gas law to account for the real gas behavior.[1] In general, deviation from ideal behavior becomes more significant the closer a gas is to a phase change, the lower the temperature or the larger the pressure. Compressibility factor values are usually obtained by calculation from equations of state (EOS), such as the virial equation which take compound specific empirical constants as input. For a gas that is a Branches mixture of two or more pure gases (air or natural gas, for example), a gas composition is required before compressibility can be calculated. Classical · Statistical · Chemical Alternatively, the compressibility factor for specific gases can be read Equilibrium / Non-equilibrium from generalized compressibility charts[1] that plot Z as a function of Thermofluids pressure at constant temperature.

Process functions: Work · Heat For an ideal gas the compressibility factor is Z = 1 per definition. In many real world applications requirements for accuracy demand that Material properties deviations from ideal gas behaviour, i.e., real gas behaviour, is taken Specific heat capacity c = into account. The value of Z generally increases with pressure and decreases with temperature. At high pressures molecules are colliding 1 β = − more often. This allows repulsive forces between molecules to have a Compressibility V noticeable effect, making the molar volume of the real gas (Vm) 1 greater than the molar volume of the corresponding ideal gas ( Thermal expansion α = [3] (Vm)ideal gas = RT / p), which causes Z to exceed one. When Property database http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor 2011/11/28 Compressibility factor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 頁 2 / 5 pressures are lower, the molecules are freer to move. In this case Equations Z < 1 attractive forces dominate, making . The closer the gas is to its Carnot's theorem critical point or its boiling point, the more Z deviates from the ideal Clausius theorem case.

Entropy as energy dispersal Scientists There are more detailed generalized compressibility factor graphs based on as many as 25 or more different pure gases, such as the Daniel Bernoulli Nelson-Obert graphs. Such graphs are said to have an accuracy within Sadi Carnot 1-2 percent for Z values greater than 0.6 and within 4-6 percent for Z Benoît Paul Émile Clapeyron values of 0.3-0.6.

The virial coefficients account for interactions between successively larger groups of molecules. For example, B accounts for interactions between pairs, C for interactions between three gas molecules, and so on. Because interactions between large numbers of molecules are rare, the virial equation is usually truncated after the third term.[4] The Real gas article features more theoretical methods to compute compressibility factors Experimental values It is extremely difficult to generalize at what pressures or temperatures the deviation from the ideal gas becomes important. As a rule of thumb, the ideal gas law is reasonably accurate up to a pressure of about 2 atm, and even higher for small non-associating molecules. For example methyl chloride, a highly polar molecule and therefore with significant intermolecular forces, the experimental value for the compressibility factor is Z = 0.9152 at a pressure of 10 atm and temperature of 100 °C.[5] For air (small non-polar molecules) at approximately the same conditions, the compressibility factor is only Z = 1.0025 (see table below for 10 bars, 400 K).

Background Information: Understanding Concentration Measurements In this activity, we will investigate the gas composition of our planet’s atmosphere. We use percentages to represent units of gas composition. A percent (%) is equivalent to 1 part out of 100 equal units. 1% = 1 part out of 100 For smaller concentrations scientists use parts per million (ppm) to represent concentrations of gases (or pollutants) in the atmosphere). One ppm is equivalent to 1 part out of 1,000,000 if the volume being measured is separated into 1,000,000 equal units. 1 ppm = 1 part out of 1,000,000 In this activity, you will use graph paper to represent the concentration of different gases in the atmosphere.

    How Compressible Are Innovation Processes?

    1 How Compressible are Innovation Processes? Hamid Ghourchian, Arash Amini, Senior Member, IEEE, and Amin Gohari, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract The sparsity and compressibility of finite-dimensional signals are of great interest in fields such as compressed sensing. The notion of compressibility is also extended to infinite sequences of i.i.d. or ergodic random variables based on the observed error in their nonlinear k-term approximation. In this work, we use the entropy measure to study the compressibility of continuous-domain innovation processes (alternatively known as white noise). Specifically, we define such a measure as the entropy limit of the doubly quantized (time and amplitude) process. This provides a tool to compare the compressibility of various innovation processes. It also allows us to identify an analogue of the concept of “entropy dimension” which was originally defined by R´enyi for random variables. Particular attention is given to stable and impulsive Poisson innovation processes. Here, our results recognize Poisson innovations as the more compressible ones with an entropy measure far below that of stable innovations. While this result departs from the previous knowledge regarding the compressibility of fat-tailed distributions, our entropy measure ranks stable innovations according to their tail decay. Index Terms Compressibility, entropy, impulsive Poisson process, stable innovation, white L´evy noise. I. INTRODUCTION The compressible signal models have been extensively used to represent or approximate various types of data such as audio, image and video signals. The concept of compressibility has been separately studied in information theory and signal processing societies. In information theory, this concept is usually studied via the well-known entropy measure and its variants.

    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.

Phone: +36(96)-503-454, fax: +36(96)-613-595 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Thermodynamics as a wide branch of physics had a long historical development from the ancient times to the 20th century. The invention of the thermometer was the first important step that made possible to formulate the first precise speculations on heat. There were no exact theories about the nature of heat for a long time and even the majority of the scientific world in the 18th and the early 19th century viewed heat as a substance and the representatives of the Kinetic Theory were rejected and stayed in the background. The Caloric Theory successfully explained plenty of natural phenomena like gas laws and heat transfer and it was impossible to refute it until the 1850s when the Principle of Conservation of Energy was introduced (Mayer, Joule, Helmholtz). The Second Law of Thermodynamics was discovered soon after that explanation of the tendency of thermodynamic processes and the heat loss of useful heat. The Kinetic Theory of Gases motivated the scientists to introduce the concept of entropy that was a basis to formulate the laws of thermodynamics in a perfect mathematical form and founded a new branch of physics called statistical thermodynamics. The Third Law of Thermodynamics was discovered in the beginning of the 20th century after introducing the concept of thermodynamic potentials and the absolute temperature scale.
