Pure Substance
a substance that has a homogeneous and invariable chemical composition may exist in more than one phase (i.e., mixture of phases) but chemical composition is similar in all phases Example: A mixture of ice and liquid water A mixture of liquid water and vapor (steam)
Definitions: Saturation Temperature - the temperature at which vaporization takes place for a given pressure Saturation Pressure - the pressure at which vaporization takes place for a given temperature For a pure substance, there is a definite relation between the saturation temperature and saturation pressure which can be shown by the vapor-pressure curve.
A substance can exist in any of the following phases Compressed Liquid Subcooled Liquid Saturated Liquid Saturated Vapor Saturated Mixture Superheated Vapor
Compressed Liquid a liquid whose pressure is higher than the saturation pressure for the existing liquid temperature (sat. temp.) Subcooled Liquid another term for compressed liquid; a liquid whose temperature is lower than the saturation temperature for the existing liquid pressure (the saturation pressure) Saturated Liquid substance that exists as liquid only at saturation temperature AND saturation pressure Saturated Vapor substance that exists as vapor only at saturation temperature AND saturation pressure
Saturated Mixture substance that exists as a mixture of liquid and vapor for a given temperature (saturation temperature) AND pressure (saturation pressure) The liquid component in the mixture has the same properties as saturated liquid for the given temperature or pressure The vapor component in the mixture has the same properties as saturated vapor for the given temperature or pressure For a liquid-vapor mixture, a property that relates the mass of vapor to the mass of the mixture is defined:
Superheated Vapor substance in vapor phase whose temperature is higher than the saturation temperature for the existing pressure OR substance in vapor phase whose pressure is lower than the saturation pressure for the existing temperature
Quality - the ratio of the mass of vapor component to the total mass of the liquid-vapor mixture x = mg / m = mass of vapor / total mass of liquid-vapor mixture where mf = mass of liquid component mg = mass of vapor component m = mf + mg Note that x = 0 for saturated liquid x = 1 for saturated vapor

Critical Point The state wherein the saturated liquid and saturated vapor states are identical It is specified by the critical temperature Tc , critical pressure Pc , or critical specific volume At pressures above the critical pressure, the liquid and vapor phases do not exist in equilibrium At supercritical pressures, the substance is simply called a fluid

Approximations In the absence of tables for the compressed liquid, its properties in most cases can be approximated by Using the property values of the saturated liquid state at the given temperature. Thus,

Thermodynamic Surfaces We can represent the P-v-T behavior of a substance as a surface in space.
RT
P v RT
The equation of state expressed on a unit mass basis is where v = v / M = specific volume per unit mass (kg or lbm) R = R / M = gas constant (depends on gas species) M = gas molecular weight (depends on gas species) In terms of total volume, the above two equations become
PV n RT
PV m RT where V = gas total volume ( m3 or ft3 ) n = total number of mols of gas m = total mass of gas
For the same gas undergoing a change of state, the equation of state can be used to relate the initial and final states as P V1 mT P V1 n1 T1 1 1 1 1 or
P2 V2 m2 T2

Restrictions: The ideal gas equation of state may be applied to real gases or vapors only at very low densities May be applied to real gases or vapors at a given T, P only when the compressibility factor Z is close to 1.0
Pv Z RT
Z = 1 for an ideal gas The closer the value of Z to unity for a given T, P , the closer is the substance to ideal gas behavior
For a given T, P , if Z < 1 actual density is greater than predicted from ideal gas equation due to greater intermolecular attractive force Z > 1 actual density is less than predicted from ideal gas equation due to greater intermolecular repulsive force caused by much reduced intermolecular distances
This plot of the generalized compressibility factor Z in terms of the reduced pressure Pr and reduced temperature Tr is applicable to various simple substances.
Pr = P / Pc = reduced pressure Tr = T / Tc = reduced temperature Pc = critical pressure Tc = critical temperature See Table A.2 for Pc and Tc of various substances
The generalized compressibility chart indicates that ideal gas behavior can be assumed when P << Pc T > 2Tc up to P 4 to 5 times Pc For other conditions, especially in the superheated vapor region, it is more accurate to use the thermodynamic tables May be used to estimate P-v-T data of substances if no tables are available
