Properties of Pure Substances
Learning Objectives
I.Introduce the concept of a pure substance. |
| | | II.Discuss the physics of phase-change processes. |
| | | III.Illustrate the P-v, T-v, and P-T property diagrams and P-v-T surfaces of pure substances. |
| | | IV.Demonstrate the procedures for determining thermodynamic properties of pure substances from tables of property data. |
| | | V.Describe the hypothetical substance "ideal gas" and the ideal-gas equation of state. |
| | | VI.Apply the ideal-gas equation of state in the solution of typical problems. |
| | | VII.Introduce the compressibility factor, which accounts for the deviation of real gases from ideal-gas behavior, and to illustrate its use. |
| | | VIII.Present some of the best-known equations of state such as the van der Waals, Beattie-Bridgeman, and Benedict-Webb-Rubin equations. |
| | | IX.Define the specific heat at constant volume and the specific heat at constant pressure. |
| | | X.Relate the specific heats to the calculation of the changes in internal energy and enthalpy of ideal gases. |
| | | XI.Describe the incompressible substance such as solids and liquids and how to determine the changes in internal energy and enthalpy for these substances. |
