Equation 1.19: Ideal gas law using mass of gas and molar weight (1.19)PV=mMRT Example 1.8 One pound-mole of an ideal gas occupies 378.6 standard ft3. Calculate the value of the universal gas constant, parameter R. Answer The parameter n is equal to 1 pound-mole. According to Amagat’s...
In most cases, an intensive quantity, called the specific heat, is used to specify the heat capacity of a material, since the intensive quantity is independent of the size of the system. The most common specific heat is the heat capacity per unit mass.Footnote14Using the convention of lowerc...
The ideal gas law formula is PV = nRT. This formula can be used to calculate any of the parameters shown in the equation. It can also be used to calculate the molar mass after some modifications. How do you calculate the molar mass of a gas? The molar mass of a gas can be ...
The Constant Volume Pneumatic Chamber block models a constant volume pneumatic chamber based on the ideal gas law and assuming constant specific heats. The continuity equation for the network representation of the constant chamber is G=VRT(dpdt−pTdTdt) where G Mass flow rate at input port V...
Determine the power per unit mass flow rate required to isentropically compress the helium-oxygen mixture described in Example 12.2 from atmospheric pressure (0.101 MN/m2) and 20.0°C to 1.08 MN/m2 in a steady flow, steady state process. Assume the mixture has constant specific heats. Solution...
Charles/Gay-Lussac Law, states that At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature (in kelvin) increases or decreases.P1/T1 = P2/T2Both of these laws can be combined to give an overall equation which ...
Matter is found in one of three forms: solid, liquid or gas. The equation of state for a gas, is an equation that tells us how the temperature, pressure and the volume of a sample gas of known mass are related. This is usually a very complex function/equation. However, ...
Figure: Calculation of the heat flow rate using the specific heat capacity and the mean free path of the phonons In the above formula, m denotes the mass contained in the volume, which is defined by the mean free path Δx and the (in principle arbitrary) area A. This mass can be dete...

Ideal gas mixture equations are used to produce property values in thermodynamic problems just as though the mixture is a single unique gas. This is illustrated in the next example. Example 12.5 Determine the power per unit mass flow rate required to isentropically compress the helium-oxygen mixtu...
