Properties of Pure Substances

The quality x as the ratio of the mass of vapor to the total mass of the mixture (for
saturated mixtures only) x = mvapor mtotal Where mtotal = mliquid +mvapor = mf
+mg
The total volume in a tank containing a saturated liquid-vapor mixture is
V =Vf +Vg V = mvmtvavg = mfvf +mgvg mf = mtmg mtvavg = (mtmg)vf
+mgvg
Dividing my mt yields
vavg = (1x)vf +xvg Since x = mg/mt. This relation can also be expressed as vavg
= vf +xvfg m3 kg Where vfg = vgvg. Solving for quality we obtain x = vavgvf

Ideal-gas Equation of State
P = RT vPv = RT The gasconstant R is determinded from
R=
Ru M kJ kgK
or
kPam3 kgK Where Ru is the universal gas constant The mass of a system
m = MN (kg)
The ideal-gas Equation of State can be written in several different forms V = mv
PV = mRT mR = (MN)R = NRu PV = NRuT V = N v P vRuT The properties of
an ideal gas at two different states are related to each other by P1V1 T1 = P2V2 T2
Compressibility factor Z = Pv RT or Pv = ZRT
Gases behave differently at a given temperature and pressure, but they behave
very much the same at temperatures and pressure normalized with respect to their
critical temperatures and pressures. The normalization is done as PR = P Pcr and TR
= T Tcr Pseudeo-reduced specic volume vR = vactual RTcr/Pcr Van der Waals
Equation of State P+ a v2(vb) = RT The determination of the two constants
appearing in this equation is based on the observation that the critical isotherm on
a Pv diagram has a horizontal inection point of the cricital point. Thus, the rst
and the second derivatives of P with respect to v at the critical point must be zero.
That is P vT=Tcr=const = 0 and 2P v2T=Tcr=const = 0

By performing the differentiations and eliminating vcr, the constants a and b are
determined to be
a=
27R2T2 cr 64Pcr
and b =
RTcr 8Pcr
