and P=100kPa
From Table A1, At 150C, Psat = 0.47616MPa=
476.16kPa, Since P=100kPa<476.16kPa or
P<Psat, then water at this state is a superheated
vapour,
From Superheated table(A2).
Ideal Gas
• Thermodynamic tables provide very accurate
information about the properties, but they are
bulky and vulnerable to typographical errors.
A more practical and desirable approach
would be to have some simple relations
among the properties that are sufficiently
general and accurate.
• Any equation that relates the pressure,
temperature, and specific volume of a
substance is called an equation of state
• The simplest and best-known equation of state for
substances in the gas phase is the ideal-gas
equation of state.
• This equation predicts the P-v-T behavior of a gas
quite accurately within some properly selected
region.
• Pv = RT is called the ideal-gas equation of state,
or simply the ideal-gas relation, and a gas that
obeys this relation is called an ideal gas. In this
equation, P is the absolute pressure, T is the
absolute temperature, and v is the specific
volume
P v = RT or PV = mRT
Where
• For real gases Z can be greater than or less
than unity. The farther away Z is from unity,
the more the gas deviates from ideal-gas
behavior.
• What constitute low pressure and high
temperature?
• Is -100°C a low temperature? It definitely is for most
substances but not for air. Air (or nitrogen) can be
treated as an ideal gas at this temperature and
atmospheric pressure with an error under 1 percent.
dQ = CVdT + …68
Substituting …68 into …17,
dW = - RT …. 69
With
dQ = Cp dT - …. 70
and dW = - R dT + RT …. 71
with
work is simply
dW = - P dV and
dQ = dP + P dV …. 72
These equations (68, 70, and 72) may be applied
for ideal gases to various kinds of processes
that are closed and mechanically reversible, as
follows:
Isothermal Processes
At constant temperature,
ΔU = = 0
and ΔH = = 0
Similarly write Eqs. 68 and 70,
Isochoric Process (Constant V)
∴ Q = ΔU = Const. V …. 75
Adiabatic Process; Constant Heat Capacities
• An adiabatic process is one for which there is
no exchange of heat between the system and
the surroundings,
i.e dQ = 0, following which Eqs. 68, 70 and 72
may therefore be set to zero. Integration with
