static principle

2
New cards

Intensive

independent of mass: T P v

3
New cards

depends on mass: u m E V h s

4

28
New cards

specific heat (all eqs)

c_v = du/dt

cv = u_2 - u_1 integral t1 →t2 c_v dt

c_v = (T2 + T1)/2 (closed systems only)

29
New cards

if a system is closed, assume: 

PE and KE = 0 if no info given

use a cv, cp, c_something value to use

u_2 - u_1 = c_x(T2-T1)

30
New cards

If using the ideal gas equation in a closed system

always assume ideal gas

31
New cards

assumptions for isoveric systems

p2 = p1 and if the system is closed:

m1RT1 / v1 = m2RT2 / v2

T2/T1 = v2/v1

m2 = m1

32
New cards

assumptions about isometric systems

v2 = v1 and if the system is closed:

T2/T1 = P2/P1

m2 = m1

33
New cards

assumptions about isothermal systems

since we know T2 = T1 then:

P1V = mRT1

if closed:

P1/P2 = v2/v1

34
New cards

41
New cards

when referring to water in this class, what state is it in?

vapor!

42
New cards

If a material is in a saturated state:

temperature and pressure are dependent

so

P = psat@T

or

T = Tsat @P

43
New cards

a material is a subcooled liquid if

T < T_sat @ P

P > P_sat @ 

44
New cards

a material is a superheated vapor if 

T > T_sat @ P

P < Psat @ T

45
New cards

if v > vg, u > ug, h > hg, etc.

the material is a ____

superheated vapor

46
New cards

if v < vf, u < uf, h < hf, etc

the material is a  _____

supercooled liquid

47
New cards

if vf < v < vg

(samr for uu,h,etc)

the material is a _____

saturated mixture

48
New cards

if v = vf the material is a ____

if v = vg the material is a ___

saturated liquid

saturated vapor

49
New cards

for finding properties, the 1st step is to determine the region, What do we do if we determine its a saturated liquid?

use “f”

v = vf, u = uf, h = hf, etc

50
New cards

for finding properties, the 1st step is to determine the region, What do we do if we determine its a saturated vapor?

use “g”

v = vg, etc

51
New cards

for finding properties, the 1st step is to determine the region, What do we do if we determine its a saturated mixture?

use quality: x = xg(xf + xg)

v = (1-x)vf + x*vg

u = (1/x)uf + x^ug

h = (1/x)uf + x^hg

52
New cards

an additional way to write the quality equation using v, vg, and vf

x = (v - vf)/(vg - vf)

53
New cards

If you have T, use list ___

if you have P, use list ___

A-2

A-3

54
New cards

if a material is a superheated vapor, that means (T,P)

T > Tsat @P

P < Tsat @T

55
New cards

if a material is a supercooled liquid

use A-5 if P > 2.5 MPa

use A-2 if P <= 2.5 MPa

and assume u = uf @T, v = vf @T

56
New cards

work equation for this class

W = S *integral(V1,V2) Pdv

59
New cards

work per mass

w = W/m = integral(w1,w1) Pdv

60
New cards

for isoveric processes with work

P2 = P1

W = P * integral(v1,v2)dV = P(V2-V1)

61
New cards

for isoveric processes

v2 = v1

W_b = 0

W_b = work done on the boundary

62
New cards

dealing with ideal gases

for isoveric situations:

W = P2V2 - P1V1 = m2RT2 - m1RTv

63
New cards

dealing with ideal gases

for isothermal processes:

m2RT2 = P2v2 = m1RT1 = P1V1

P1V1ln(V2/V1) = mRT1ln(V2/V1)
