PERFECT GAS

A gas is described as a collection of particles which move randomly. These particles


have electronic structure; as a result, a force field pervades the space around them.
This force field is called intermolecular force and it is due to one particle reaches out
or interacts with neighboring particles. Now, a perfect gas is gas in which the
intermolecular forces are neglected because the particles of the gas are far enough
that the influence of the intermolecular forces is small.

For a perfect gas, p (pressure),  (density), and T (temperature) are related through
the following equation of state:

pV = mRT
p = RT
pѵ= RT

R is the specific gas constant, which varies from different value for different gases.
For standard conditions, R = 287.08 J/kg.K = 1716 ft.lb/slug.ºR. The specific volume,
which is denoted by “ѵ”, is the mass per unit volume. (ѵ = 1/)

INTERNAL ENERGY
Consider air molecules moving through space in a random manner. Occasionally,
these molecules will collide with each other. Because of its velocity through space,
the molecule has translational kinetic energy. In addition to its translational motion,
such a molecule can execute a rotational motion in space; the kinetic energy of this
rotation contributes to the net energy of the molecule. Also, the atoms of a given
molecule can vibrate back and forth along and across the molecular axis, thus
contributing a potential and kinetic energy of vibration to the molecule. Finally, the
motion of the electrons around each of the nuclei of the molecule contributes an
electronic energy to the molecule. Hence, the energy of a given molecule is the sum
of its translational, rotational, vibrational, and electronic energies.

Now consider a finite volume of gas consisting of a large number of molecules. The
sum of the energies of all the molecules in this volume is defined as the internal
energy of the gas. The internal energy per unit mass of gas is defined as the specific
internal energy, denoted by “e”.

ENTHALPY
Enthalpy (H) is a related quantity to internal energy. Specific enthalpy (h) can be
defined as the total energy due to pressure and temperature per unit mass and
described by the formula,
h = e + pV
For a perfect gas, remember that both h and e are functions of temperature only.
e= e(T)
h= h(T)
Now, let de and dh represent differentials of e and h. Then, for a perfect gas,
de = cvdT
dh = cpdT
cp and cv are called the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume,
respectively. In the equations above, cp and cv can be functions of T. However, for
moderate temperatures, the specific heats can be considered constant. A perfect
gas where cv and cp are constants is defined as a calorically perfect gas, for which it
can be represented as
e = cvT

Learning Module 01: Review of Basic Thermodynamics

h = cpT
Note that e and h in the above equations are thermodynamic state variables, it
means that they depend only on the state of the gas and are independent of any
process. Although cv and cp appear in those equations, there is no restriction to just
a constant volume or a constant pressure process. Rather, those equations are
relations for thermodynamic state variables, namely, e and h as functions of T, and
have nothing to do with the process that may be taking place.

Specific gas, cp and cv can be related by deriving formula from enthalpy and
equation of state.
1. h = e + pV
2. pV = mRT

h = e + pV; pV = RT
h = e + RT
dh = de + RdT
cpdT = cvdT + RdT
(cpdT)/dT = (cvdT)/dT + (RdT)/dT
cp = c v + R

The specific heat ratio (k) of a gas is the ratio of the specific heat at constant
pressure, cp, to the specific heat at constant volume, cv. It is sometimes referred to
as the adiabatic index or the heat capacity ratio or the isentropic expansion factor or
the adiabatic exponent or the isentropic exponent.

k = cp/cv

cp = cv + R ; k = cp/cv
kcv = cv + R
kcv – cv = R
cv(k-1) = R
cv = R/(k-1)

cp = cp/k + R
cp – cp/k = R
cp[(k-1)/k] = R
cp = kR/(k-1)
