Termo Flashcards
Common Phases of Substance
Solid, liquid & gas
Does not take on the shape or volume of its container
Solid
Absorb as much heat energy as it can without vaporizing
Saturated Liquid
Example of Saturated Liquid
Liquid Water at 100C & 1 atm
Liquid not saturated
Subcooled Liquid
Liquid and vapor of the same substance at the same temperature and pressure
Liquid-vapor mixture
two-phase
Ideal gas whose specific heats are constants
Perfect Gas
Vapor that is on the verge of condensing
Saturated Vapor
Example of Saturated Vapor
Steam at 100C & 1 atm
Absorb more energy than is needed merely to vaparize it. It wil not condense when small amounts of energy are removed
Superheated Vapor
Superheated vapor that behaves according to pV=mRT
Ideal Gas
Gas that does not behave according to ideal gas laws
Real Gas
Two or more pure gases together
Gas mixture
atmospheric gas
Vapor-gas mixture
Three dimensional surface that predicts a substance phase includes the following properties
Pressure
Temperature
Specific Volume
pvT diagram
Unique state at which solid, liquid and gaseouses phases can coexist
Triple point
(T/F) Thermodynamic properties of ideal gases do not depend on other thermodynamic properties
True. Changes in pressure do not affect changes in specific enthalpy when T constant. Changes un specific volume do not affect change in specific internal energy when T constant.
A process which no heat crosses the system boundary
Adiabatic process
Including isentropic and throttling process.
An adiabatic process which there is no entropy production. Is reversibec
Isentropic Process
An adiabatic process in which there is no change in enthalpy, but for which there a significant pressure drop
Throttling process
Isobaric Process
Constant Pressure Process
Isothermal Process
Constant Temperature Process
Isochoric Process
Constant volume process
A process that obeys the polytropic equation of state.
Polytropic process
Law: The net energy crossing the system boundary is the change in energy inside the system. Whether or not a process is reversible.
The work done in adiabatic process depends only on the systems endpoint conditions.
First Law of Thermodynimics
If no mass crosses the system boundaries, the system is
closed
