Objectives
1. Introduce the concept of a pure substance
2. Discuss the physics of phase-change processes
3. Illustrate the P-v, T-v, and P-T property diagrams and P-v-T surfaces of pure substances
4. Demonstrate the procedures for determining thermodynamic properties of pure substances from tables of property data
5. Describe the hypothetical substance “ideal gas” and the ideal-gas equation of state
6. Apply the ideal-gas equation of state in the solution of typical problems
7. Introduce the compressibility factor, which accounts for the deviation of real gases from ideal-gas behavior
8. Present some of the best-known equations of state
Property Tables
For most substances, the relationships among thermodynamic properties are too complex to be expressed by simple equations.
Therefore, thermodynamic properties are frequently presented in the form of tables.
Some properties (T, P) can be measured easily, but others (u, h, s) cannot be measured directly and are calculated by using the relations
that relate them to measurable properties.
The results of these measurements
and calculations are presented in tables in a convenient format.

Property Tables II
- Saturated liquid-Vapor mixture
A two-phase system can be treated as a homogeneous mixture for convenience
• Wet Vapor: mixture of saturated liquid and saturated vapor
• Quality (=dryness fraction) x : ratio of the mass of vapor to the total mass (c.f. 1-x:
wetness)
• Saturated mixture are considered to be mixed well, forming a homogenous mixture
• The properties of this “mixture” will simply be the average properties.

Higher temperature (T>Tsatat a given P)
Higher specific volumes (υ> υgat a given P or T) Higher internal energies (u > ug at a given P or T) Higher enthalpies (h>hg at a given P or T)
Higher pressure (P>Psat at a given T) Lower temperature (T<Tsatat a given P)
Lower specific volumes (υ< υfat a given P or T) Lower internal energies (u < uf at a given P or T) Lower enthalpies (h<hfat a given P or T)

@Summary
Here is a tip!
0) At least two conditions are required to determine the state 1) Note the type of fluid (e.g. water, R-134 etc)
2) If T is given, draw T-v diagram and use Temperature Table 3) If P is given, draw P-v diagram and use Pressure Table
4) If P and T is given, it would be superheated gas. If the given T is greater than the saturated Temperature, it is definitely a superheated gas. Otherwise, it is a compressible liquid 5) There is exceptions
Reference State and Reference Values
•The values of u, h, and s cannot be measured directly
• They are calculated from measurable properties using the relations between thermodynamic properties
• Those relations give the changes in properties, not the values of properties at specified states
• Need to choose a convenient reference state
• Assign a value of zero for a convenient properties at that state
• Ex) water: the state of saturated liquid at 0.01 oC is taken as the reference state, u and h are assigned zero values
• Refriegerant-134a, the state of saturated liquid at -40 oC is taken as the reference state, and h and s are assigned zero value
The Ideal-Gas Equation of State
• Equation of state: Any equation that relates the pressure, temperature, and specific volume of a substance
•Ideal-gas equation of state
- The simplest and best known equation of state for substances in the gas phase
- Predicts the P-v-T behavior of a gas quite accurately within some properly selected region
P = absolute pressure T = absolute temperature v = specific volume

•Molar mass: the mass of one mole of a substance in grams, or the mass of one kmolin kilograms
•Mass of system = molar mass ⅹmole number : m=MN (kg)
Compressibility Factor-A Measure of Deviation from Ideal-Gas Behavior
• Compressibility Factor (Z): A correction factor that can accurately account for deviation from ideal-gas behavior at a given temperature and pressure

• Gases behave differently at a given T and P, but they behave very much the same at T and P normalized with respect to their critical T and P
where PR: reduced pressure, TR : reduced temperature, vR: Pseudo-reduce specific volume
• Principle of corresponding states: The Z factor for all gases is approximately the same at the same reduced pressure and temperature

Compressibility Chart
Generalized compressibility chart
1. At very low pressure(PR≪1), gases behave as an ideal gas regardless of temperature 2. At high temperature (TR≫2), ideal gas behavior can be assumed with good accuracy
regardless of pressure (except when PR≫1).
3. The deviation of a gas from ideal-gas behavior is greatest in the vicinity of the critical point
