Calculation of W,Q,dE(dU) and dH for the expansion of ideal and real gases Name of the instructor: U.Nithya M.sc., M.Phil.,
CALCULATION OF W,Q,dE(dU) and dH for the expansion of ideal and real gases- under isothermal and adiabatic conditions for reversible process: isothermal process- temperature of the system remains constant adiabatic process no heat enters or leaves the system. Work done during isothermal changes for ideal gases:- according to first law. E =Q- W E =0. Q = W For an isothermal process heat absorbed = Work done
Work done during isothermal reversible expansion of an ideal gas: Expression: w= 2.303 nRTlog V2/V1 (or) w= 2.303 nRT log P1/P2 One mole of an ideal gas w= 2.303 RTlog V2/V1 (or) w= 2.303 RT log P1/P2 Derivation: w= Popdv reversible expansion Pop= P w = Pdv. ------------------- 1 For ideal gas PV = nRT
P=nRT/V. -------------- 2 2 in 1 w= nRT/V dv Integration of the equation w= nRT. 12 dv/v =nRT ln V2/V1 w= 2.303 nRT log V2/V1 Replacing v with RT/P w= 2.303 nRT log P1/P2
Work done during adiabatic changes for ideal gases adiabatic process Q=0 according to first law E = Q- W Q = 0 E = - W W = - E We know E = Cv T. ------------------- 1 w= - E = - Cv T ----------------- 2
Workdone during adiabatic reversible (process) expansion of an ideal gas: Expression: W=Cv(T1-T2) Derivation: first law. dE = q-w. ------------- 1 q = dE + W ----------- 2 we know. E= f (T,V) dE = ( E/ T)vdT + ( E/ V)Tdv ---------- 3 and W=PdV. -------------------- 4 4,3in 2 q = ( E/ T)vdT + ( E/ v) dv + Pdv ---------- 5 Adiabatic change q=o, ideal gas ( E/ v)T=0 0 = ( E/ T)vdT+0+Pdv ----------------------- 6
By definition ( E/ T)v= Cv------------------------ 7 7in 6 0 = CvdT + 0 +Pdv Pdv. = - CvdT Expansion W= 12 Pdv = - 12 CvdT = - Cv(T2-T1) W = Cv(T1-T2)
Change in internal energy (E) during isothermal changes for ideal gas: E:- T,E is a constant,it is independent of volume ( E/ V)Tdv. = 0 ( E)T,V =0 H:- H=E+PV H = E + (PV) -------------------- 1 ideal gas PV = nRT. --------------- 2 2 in 1 H = E + nRT. --------------- 3 E = 0, T= 0, H =0
To show that (H/P)T = 0 H=E+PV PV=RT H=E+RT ------------------------ 1 Differentiate 1 with respect to pressure at constant temp ( H/ P)T= ( E/ P)T+0 we know ( E/ P)T=0, ( H/ P)T= 0
Change in internal energy(E) during adiabatic changes for ideal gases: Q=0 First law. E = Q-W E = -W - E = W W = +ve. E = -ve W = -ve. E = +ve E : ( E/ T)v= Cv dE = CvdT E = Cv T
H: H= E +PV H = E + PV PV = nRT. For one mole PV = RT H = E + R T. ----------------- 1 E. = Cv T. ------------------ 2 2 in 1 H = Cv T + R T H = (Cv+R) T. ------------------ 3 Cp- Cv = R, Cp= Cv + R. ---------------- 4 sub 4. in. 3 H = Cp T
