Study Notes

Equilibrium and Processes

  • A system is in equilibrium if changes occur without external assistance.
  • The series of states a system undergoes during a process is referred to as the path of the process.
  • For a cycle, the initial and final states must differ; the net change in a property during any cycle is zero.

Thermodynamic States

  • A working substance does not experience any thermodynamic processes.
  • In a solid state, molecules exhibit random arrangement due to large inter-molecular distances.
  • At a pressure of 101.325 kPa, the saturated temperature (Tsat) is 99.978°C.

Compressed Liquid State

  • A compressed liquid state occurs when the temperature (T) is greater than Tsat.
  • In the compressed liquid state, as temperature increases, the specific volume of the liquid decreases.
  • Pressure remains constant at 1 atm during the compressed liquid state.

Saturated Conditions

  • At 1 atm, the saturated temperature for water is 100°C.
  • The saturated liquid point indicates that water has fully vaporized into steam; a saturated liquid is on the verge of vaporization.
  • Boiling continues as temperature rises until all liquid is vaporized.

Liquid-Vapor Mixtures

  • At state (3), a saturated liquid-vapor mixture is in equilibrium.
  • A cylinder containing only vapor exists midway along the vaporization line.
  • At state (4), heat loss from the vapor leads to some condensation, indicating the presence of saturated vapor with residual liquid.

Quality of Mixtures

  • Quality (x) of a saturated liquid is defined as 1 (100% vapor).
  • In a vaporization process, the substance can be a mix of saturated liquid and vapor.
  • Quality can exceed 1 for saturated mixtures and is the ratio of vapor mass to total mixture mass.
  • Energy transfer is expressed as: 𝑚𝑚𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = $0.2 \times 222222$.

Superheated Vapor

  • A system with saturated vapor has a quality (x) of 1 (or 100%).
  • Superheated vapor tables display properties based on temperature for specific pressures, beginning with the saturated vapor data.
  • Distinctive of superheated vapor is its lower pressure compared to saturated vapor at a specific temperature.
  • If specific volume (v) is provided alongside pressure or temperature, it signifies a volume lower than that of saturated vapor.
  • Properties in the superheated region are determined using superheated vapor tables when given pressure is lower than the saturated pressure at the corresponding temperature.
  • Saturated vapor is noted for having higher pressure compared to superheated vapor at the same temperature.
