IDEAL GAS
Boyle’s Law Charle’s Law
CHARACTERISTIC EQUATION OF A PERFECT IDEAL
GAS

Combining Boyle’s Law and Charle’s law:

Where:
P = absolute pressure
V = volume
v = specific volume
m = mass
T = absolute temperature
R = specific gas constant or
simply gas constant
Example problem:

 The volume of a 6x12 – ft tank is  Given:

339.3 ft3. It contains air at 200 psig
and 85oF. How many 1 ft3 drums can
be filled to 50 psig and 80oF if it is
assumed that the air temperature is
the tank remains at 85oF? The drums
have been sitting around in the
atmosphere which is at 14.7 psia and
80oF.

Specific Heat
Constant Volume Specific Heat (cv)
Constant Pressure Specific Heat (cp)
Ration of Specific Internal Energy of an
Heat Ideal Gas

Enthalpy of an Ideal Gas

Relation Between cp and cv
Example Problem
 For a certain gas R = 320 J/kg. K and cv = 0.84 kJ/kg. K. (a) find cp and k. (b) if
5 kg of this gas undergo a reversible non – flow constant pressure process from
V1 = 1.133 m3 and p1 = 690 kPa to a state where t2 = 555oC, find ∆U and ∆H.

 Solution:
