On the other hand, liquid volume decreases very slowly with rising pressure. Thus, the very high pressure generated by heating a subcooled liquid at constant volume can be relieved by a very small volume increase, or a very small leak in the constant volume container. 3.3. IDEAL GAS AND IDEAL-GAS STATE In the 19th century, scientists developed a rough experimental knowledge of the PVT behavior of gases at moderate conditions of temperature and pressure, leading to the equation PV = KT. wherein Vis molar volume and R is a universal constant, This equation adequately describes PYT behavior of gases for many practical purposes near ambient conditions of T and P. How- ‘ever, more precise measurements show that for pressures appreciably above, and temperatures appreciably below, ambient conditions, deviations become pronounced. On the other hand, deviations become ever smaller as pressure decreases and temperature increases. ‘The equation PV = RT'is now understood to define an ideal gas and to represent a model of behavior mote or less approximating the behavior of real gases. It is called the ideal gas Jaw, but is in fact valid only for pressures approaching zero and temperatures approaching. 8 CHAPTER 3. Volumetric Properties of Pure Fluids infinity. Thus, itis @ Jaw only at limiting conditions. As these limits are approached, the mol- ‘ecules making up a gas become more and more widely separated, and the volume of the mol- ecules themselves becomes a smaller and smaller fraction of the total volume occupied by the gas. Furthermore, the forces of attraction between molecules become ever smaller because of the increasing distances between them. In the zero-pressure limit, molecules are separated by infinite distances. Their volumes become negligible compared with the total volume of the gas, and the intermolecular forces approach zero. The ideal gas concept extrapolates this behavior to all conditions of temperature and pressure. ‘The internal energy of a real gas depends on both pressure and femperature, Pressure dependence results from intermolecular forces. If such forces did not exist, no energy would be required to alter intermolecular distances, and no energy would be required to bring about pressure and Volume changes in a gas at constant temperature, Thus, in the absence of inter- ‘molecular forces, internal energy would depend on temperature only. These observations are the basis for the concept of a hypothetical state of matter designated the ideal-gas state, Its the state of a gas comprised of real molecules that have negligible molecular volume and no intermolecular forces at all temperatures and pressures. Although related to the ideal gas, it presents a different perspective. It is not the gas that is ideal, but the state, and this has practical advantages. Two equations are fundamental to this state, namely the “idcal-gas law” and an expression showing that internal energy depends on ‘temperature alone: + The equation of state: [Pv RT| Bn + Internal energy: G8) ‘The superscript ig denotes properties for the ideal-gas state. ‘The property relations for this state are very simple, and at appropriate conditions of T ‘and P they may serve as suitable approximations for direct application to the real-gas state. However, they have far greater importance as part of a general three-step procedure for calcu- lation of property changes for real gases that includes a major step in the ideal-gas state. The three steps are as follows: 1, Evaluate property changes for the mathematical transformation of an initial real-gas state into the ideal-gas state at the same T and P. 2, Caleulate property changes in the ideal-gas state for the Tand P changes of the process, 3. Evaluate property changes for the mathematical transformation of the ideal-gas state back to the real-gas state a the final T and P. This procedure calculates the primary property-value changes resulting from T and P changes by simple, but exact, equations for the ideal-gas state. The property-value changes for transitions between real and ideal-gas states are usually relatively minor corrections. These transition calculations are treated in Chapter 6, Here, we develop property-value calculations for the ideal-gas state. 3.3.

For monatomic gases, y= 1.67; approximate values of y are 1.4 for diatomic gases and 1.3 for simple polyatomic gases such as CO, SO2, NH, and CH,, Irreversible Processes All equations developed in this section have been derived for mechanically reversible, closed-system processes for the ideal-gas state. However, the equations for property changes— dU", di, AU", and AH'*—are valid for the ideal-gas state regardless of the process. They apply equally to reversible and irreversible processes in both closed and open systems, because cchanges in properties depend only on initial and final states of the system. On the other hand, ‘an equation for Q or W, unless itis equal to a property change, is subject to the restrictions of its derivation ‘The work of an irreversible process is usually calculated by a two-step procedure. First, W is determined for a mechanically reversible process that accomplishes the same change of state as the actual irreversible process. Second, this result is multiplied or divided by an efficiency to give the actual work. If the process produces work, the absolute value for the reversible process is larger than the value for the actual irreversible process and must be multiplied by an efficiency. If the process requires work, the value for the reversible process is smaller than the value for the actual irreversible process and must be divided by an efficiency. Applications of the concepts and equations of this section are illustrated in the examples ‘that follow. In particular, the work of irreversible processes is treated in Ex. 3.5, 84 CHAPTER 3.

The virial equations of state for gases are uniquely suited to this purpose. Tsotherms for gases and vapors, lying to the right of the saturated-vapor curve CD in Fig. 3.2(), are relatively simple curves for which V decreases as P increases. Here, the product PV for a given T varies much more slowly than either of its members, and hence is more easily represented analytically as a function of P.
