Term

Ideal Gas Calculation Valid?

(Diatomic Gases)

Definition

error is less than 1% if the ideal specific volume is greater than 5 L/mol

Calculation:

ideal specific volume = (R*T)/P

Term

Ideal Gas Equation Valid?

(non-diatomics)

Definition
error is less than 1% if the ideal specific volume is greater than 20 L/mol Calculation: ideal specific volume = (R*T)/P
Term
Standard Conditions SI
Definition

T = 273 K

P = 1 atm

V = 0.022415 m^3

n = 1 mol

n=1 lb-mole

 

Term
Conversion from Standard Conditions
Definition
(P*V)/(Ps*(specific volume at s)) = n*(T/Ts)
Term
Volume Fraction
Definition

va = ya*V

 

 

Term
Mole Fraction and Volume Fraction
Definition
They equal eachother
Term
Reduced Temperature and Pressure
Definition

Tr = T/Tc

Pr = P/Pc

Term
Compressibility Factor 'z'
Definition

z = (P*specificV)/(R*T)

use compressibility chart to find z

using Vr(ideal), Tr, and/or Pr

Term
Newton's Corrections
Definition

For Helium and Hydrogen

Tc(correction) = Tc + 8 K

Pc(correction) = Pc + 8 atm

Term
Virial Equation of State
Definition

 -as power series usually truncated after first term

-uses 'w' Pitzer acentric factor

-uses reduced temperature

 

Term
Cubic Equation of State
Definition

-includes van der Waals

-includes SRK equation

Term
Van der Waals Equation
Definition

Memorize in book

also memorize constants

Term
Law of Corresponding States
Definition
the values of certain physical properties of a gas -such as compressibility factor- depend to great extent on the proximity of the gas to its critical value
Term
Equation of State
Definition
relates the molar quantity and volume of a gas to temperature and pressure
Term
Kinetic Theory of Gases Assumptions for the Ideal Equation of State
Definition

-gas molecules have negligible volume

-exert no forces on one another

-collide elastically with the walls of the container

Term
Density in terms of the ideal gas equaiton
Definition
density = P*(Average MW of a gas)/(R*T)
Term
Rankine Conversions
Definition

T(R) = T(F) + 459.69

T(R) = 1.8T(K)

Term
Reduced Ideal Volume
Definition

-used in compressibility chart

Vr(ideal) = ((critical pressure) * (specific volume))/(R*(critical temp))

Term
Average Molecular Weight
Definition
M(avg) = ya(MWa) + yb(MWb)
Term
Kay's Rule
Definition

T'c = ya(Tca) + yb(Tcb)+....

P'c = ya(Pca) + yb(Rcb)+...

Term
Liquid and Solid Density Calculations
Definition

1/density(avg) = sigma((mass fraction of i) /(density of i))

-assumes volume additivity (good for species with similar structures)

density(avg) = sigma((mass fraction of i)*(density of i))
