The objectives of Chapter 3 are to:
|
|
|
Introduce the concept of a pure substance. |
|
|
|
Discuss the physics of phase-change processes. |
|
|
|
Illustrate the P-v, T-v, and P-T property diagrams and P-v-T surfaces of pure substances. |
|
|
|
Demonstrate the procedures for determining thermodynamic properties of pure substances from tables of property data. |
|
|
|
Describe the hypothetical substance “ideal gas” and the ideal-gas equation of state. |
|
|
|
Apply the ideal-gas equation of state in the solution of typical problems. |
|
|
|
Introduce the compressibility factor, which accounts for the deviation of real gases from ideal-gas behavior. |
|
|
|
Present some of the best-known equations of state. |
