Table 1.2 Equations for gas and gas mixtures and relevant models.

Definition	Dalton model and Amagat model
Total mass of a mixture of N components	m tot = m1 + m2 + ⋯ + mN = ∑ mi
Total number of moles of a mixture of N components	n tot = n1 + n2 + ⋯ + nN = ∑ ni
Mass fraction for each component	c i = mi/mtot
Mole fraction for each component	y i = ni/ntot = Pi/Ptot = Vi/Vtot
Molecular weight of the mixture	M mix = mtot/ntot = ∑ niMi/ntot = ∑ yiMi
Internal energy of the mixture
Enthalpy of the mixture
Entropy of the mixture
Entropy difference for the mixture

      As can be seen in Figure 1.5, there are two quadrants where n varies from zero to infinity and where it has a positive value. The slope of any curve is an important consideration when a reciprocating engine or compressor cycle is under consideration.

In thermodynamics, a number of problems involve the mixture of pure substances (e.g. ideal gases). In this regard, it is important to understand related aspects accordingly. Tables 1.2 and 1.3 summarize the relevant expressions and two ideal‐gas models: the Dalton model and the Amagat model. In the comparison presented, it is assumed that each gas is unaffected by the presence of other gases, and each is treated as an ideal gas. With respect to entropy, it is noted that an increase in entropy is dependent only upon the number of moles of ideal gases, and is independent of the chemical composition. Of course, when the gases in the mixture are distinguished, the entropy increases.

      1.4.15 Energy Transfer

      Energy can be viewed as the capacity for doing work. Energy can take a number of forms during transfer such as thermal (heat), mechanical (work), electrical, and chemical. Thermal energy flows only from a higher to a lower temperature level unless external energy is added to reverse the process. The rate of energy transfer per unit time is called power.

      1.4.16 Heat

      The definitive experiment that showed that heat was a form of energy convertible into other forms, was carried out by a Scottish physicist, James Joule. Heat is the thermal form of energy, and heat transfer takes place when a temperature difference exists within a medium or between different media. Heat always requires a difference in temperature for its transfer. Higher temperature differences provide higher heat transfer rates. The units for heat are joules or kilojoules in the International system and the foot pound‐force or British thermal unit (Btu) in the English system. Following a common convention in thermodynamic calculations, heat transfer to a system is considered positive, while heat transfer from a system is negative. If there is no heat transfer involved in a process, it is called adiabatic.

      1.4.17 Work

      Work is the energy that is transferred by a difference in pressure or force of any kind and is subdivided into shaft work and flow work. Shaft work is the mechanical energy used to drive a mechanism such as a pump, compressor, or turbine. Flow work is the energy transferred into a system by fluid flowing into, or out of, the system. Both forms are usually СКАЧАТЬ
