The molecules are traveling really, fast (around the length of five football fields every second). 
 
Comment: 
We can get a better solution by using the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of speeds that is

(a) 
After a short time, the temperature gradient in the copper block is changing (unsteady state), so 
the system is not in equilibrium. 
 
(b) 
After a long time, the temperature gradient in the copper block will become constant (steady 
state), but because the temperature is not uniform everywhere, the system is not in equilibrium. 
 
(c) 
After a very long time, the temperature of the reservoirs will equilibrate; The system is then 
homogenous in temperature. The system is in thermal equilibrium.

Therefore, the liquid boils at 71.4 ºC. Note: the barometric relationship given assumes that the 
temperature remains constant. In reality the temperature decreases with height as we go up the 
mountain. However, a solution in which T and P vary with height is not as straight-forward.

To solve these problems, the steam tables were used. The values given for each part constrain 
the water to a certain state. In most cases we can look at the saturated table, to determine the 
state. 
 
(a) Subcooled liquid 
Explanation: the saturation pressure at T = 170 [o
(b) Saturated vapor-liquid mixture 
C] is 0.79 [MPa] (see page 508); 
Since the pressure of this state, 10 [bar], is greater than the saturation 
pressure, water is a liquid. 
Explanation: the specific volume of the saturated vapor at T = 70 [oC] is 5.04 
[m3/kg] and the saturated liquid is 0.001 [m3/kg] (see page 508); Since the volume 
of this state, 3 [m3/kg], is in between these values we have a saturated vapor-
liquid mixture. 
(c) Superheated vapor 
Explanation: the specific volume of the saturated vapor at P = 60 [bar] = 6 [MPa], 
is 0.03244 [m3/kg] and the saturated liquid is 0.001 [m3/kg] (see page 511); Since 
the volume of this state, 0.05 [m3
(d) Superheated vapor 
/kg], is greater than this value, it is a vapor. 
Explanation: the specific entropy of the saturated vapor at P = 5 [bar] = 0.5 
[MPa], is 6.8212 [kJ/(kg K)] (see page 510); Since the entropy of this state, 
7.0592 [kJ/(kg K)], is greater than this value, it is a vapor. In fact, if we go to the 
superheated water vapor tables for P = 500 [kPa], we see the state is constrained 
to T = 200 [oC].

Because the total mass and volume of the closed, rigid system remain constant as the water 
condenses, we can develop the following expression: 
 
 ( ) satvsatl

where x is the quality of the water. Substituting values and solving for the quality, we obtain 
 
 0105.0=x or 1.05 % 
 
A very small percentage of mass in the final state is vapor.

Note: Double interpolation is required to determine this value. First, find the molar volumes at 
270 ºC and 1.8 MPa and 2.0 MPa using interpolation. Then, interpolate between the results from 
the previous step to find the molar volume at 270 ºC and 1.9 MPa.

Because molar volumesof liquids do not depend strongly on pressure, the mass of water at 25 ºC 
and atmospheric pressure in a one liter should approximately be equal to the mass calculated 
above unless the pressure is very, very large.

In a spreadsheet, make two columns: one for the specific volume of water and another for the 
pressure. First, copy the specific volumes of liquid water from the steam tables and the 
corresponding saturation pressures. After you have finished tabulating pressure/volume data for 
liquid water, list the specific volumes and saturation pressures of water vapor. Every data point 
is not required, but be sure to include extra points near the critical values. The data when plotted 
on a logarithmic scale should look like the following plot.

Water condenses on your walls when the water is in liquid-vapor equilibrium. To find the 
maximum allowable density at 70 ºF, we need to find the smallest density of water vapor at 40 ºF 
which satisfies equilibrium conditions. In other words, we must find the saturation density of 
water vapor at 40 ºF. From the steam tables,

If the density at 70 ºF is greater than or equal to [ ]33 kg/m 1013.6 −× , the density at night when the

We consider the air inside the soccer ball as the system. We can answer this question by looking 
at the ideal gas law: 
 
 RTPv = 
 
If we assume it is a closed system, it will have the same number of moles of air in the winter as 
the summer. However, it is colder in the winter (T is lower), so the ideal gas law tells us that Pv 
will be lower and the balls will be under inflated. 
 
Alternatively, we can argue that the higher pressure inside the ball causes air to leak out over 
time. Thus we have an open system and the number of moles decrease with time – leading to the 
under inflation.

As defined in the problem statement, the relative humidity can be calculated as follows 
 
 
saturationat water of mass
 waterof massHumidity Relative = 
 
We can obtain the saturation pressure at each temperature from the steam tables. At 10 [o
[kPa] 10.122.19.0 =×=Waterp
C], the 
saturation pressure of water is 1.22 [kPa]. This value is proportional to the mass of water in the 
vapor at saturation. For 90% relative humidity, the partial pressure of water in the vapor is: 
 
 
 
This value represents the vapor pressure of water in the air. At 30 [o
[kPa] 12.263.55.0 =×=Waterp
C], the saturation pressure of 
water is 4.25 [kPa]. For 590% relative humidity, the partial pressure of water in the vapor is: 
 
 
 
Since the total pressure in each case is the same (atmospheric), the partial pressure is 
proportional to the mass of water in the vapor. We conclude there is about twice the amount of 
water in the air in the latter case.

2.1 
There are many possible solutions to this problem. Assumptions must be made to solve the 
problem. One solution is as follows. First, assume that half of a kilogram is absorbed by the 
towel when you dry yourself. In other words, let 
 
 [ ]kg 5.0
2
=OHm 
 
Assume that the pressure is constant at 1.01 bar during the drying process. Performing an energy 
balance and neglecting potential and kinetic energy effects reveals 
 
 hq ˆˆ ∆= 
 
Refer to the development of Equation 2.57 in the text to see how this result is achieved. To find 
the minimum energy required for drying the towel, assume that the temperature of the towel 
remains constant at K 298.15Cº 25 ==T . In the drying process, the absorbed water is 
vaporized into steam. Therefore, the expression for heat is

l
OHh 2
ˆ is the specific enthalpy of liquid water at bar 01.1=P and K 15.298=T . A hypothetical

However, the calculation of heat can be simplified by treating the water vapor as an ideal gas, 
which is a reasonable assumption at low pressure. The enthalpies of ideal gases depend on 
temperature only. Therefore, the enthalpy of the vapor change due to the pressure change is 
zero. Furthermore, enthalpy is weakly dependent on pressure in liquids. The leg of the 
hypothetical path containing the pressure change of the liquid can be neglected. This leaves

There are a number of ways to improve the drying process. A few are listed below. 
• Dry the towel outside in the sun. 
• Use a smaller volume dryer so that less air needs to be heated. 
• Dry more than one towel at a time since one towel can’t absorb all of the available 
heat. With more towels, more of the heat will be utilized.

2.3 
In answering this question, we must distinguish between potential energy and internal energy. 
The potential energy of a system is the energy the macroscopic system, as a whole, contains 
relative to position. The internal energy represents the energy of the individual atoms and 
molecules in the system, which can have contributions from both molecular kinetic energy 
and molecular potential energy. Consider the compression of a spring from an initial 
uncompressed state as shownbelow. 
 
 
 
Since it requires energy to compress the spring, we know that some kind of energy must be 
stored within the spring. Since this change in energy can be attributed to a change of the 
macroscopic position of the system and is not related to changes on the molecular scale, we 
determine the form of energy to be potential energy. In this case, the spring’s tendency to restore 
its original shape is the driving force that is analogous to the gravity for gravitational potential 
energy. 
 
This argument can be enhanced by the form of the expression that the increased energy takes. If 
we consider the spring as the system, the energy it acquires in a reversible, compression from its 
initial uncompressed state may be obtained from an energy balance. Assuming the process is 
adiabatic, we obtain: 
 
 WWQE =+=∆ 
 
We have left the energy in terms of the total energy, E. The work can be obtained by integrating 
the force over the distance of the compression: 
 
 2
2
1 kxkxdxdxFW ==⋅−= ∫∫ 
Hence: 
 
 2
2
1 kxE =∆ 
 
We see that the increase in energy depends on macroscopic position through the term x. 
 
It should be noted that there is a school of thought that assigns this increased energy to internal 
energy. This approach is all right as long as it is consistently done throughout the energy 
balances on systems containing springs.

2.4 
For the first situation, let the rubber band represent the system. In the second situation, the gas is 
the system. If heat transfer, potential and kinetic energy effects are assumed negligible, the 
energy balance becomes 
 
 WU =∆ 
 
Since work must be done on the rubber band to stretch it, the value of the work is positive. From 
the energy balance, the change in internal energy is positive, which means that the temperature 
of the system rises. 
 
When a gas expands in a piston-cylinder assembly, the system must do work to expand against 
the piston and atmosphere. Therefore, the value of work is negative, so the change in internal 
energy is negative. Hence, the temperature decreases. 
 
In analogy to the spring in Problem 2.3, it can be argued that some of the work imparted into the 
rubber band goes to increase its potential energy; however, a part of it goes into stretching the 
polymer molecules which make up the rubber band, and the qualitative argument given above 
still is valid.

2.5 
To explain this phenomenon, you must realize that the water droplet is heated from the bottom. 
At sufficiently high temperatures, a portion of the water droplet is instantly vaporized. The 
water vapor forms an insulation layer between the skillet and the water droplet. At low 
temperatures, the insulating layer of water vapor does not form. The transfer of heat is slower 
through a gas than a liquid, so it takes longer for the water to evaporate at higher temperatures.

If the entire apartment is treated as the system, then only the energy flowing across the apartment 
boundaries (apartment walls) is of concern. In other words, the energy flowing into or out of the 
refrigerator is not explicitly accounted for in the energy balance because it is within the system. 
By neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, the energy balance becomes 
 
 WQU +=∆ 
 
The Q term represents the heat from outside passing through the apartment’s walls. The W term 
represents the electrical energy that must be supplied to operate the refrigerator. 
 
To determine whether opening the refrigerator door is a good idea, the energy balance with the 
door open should be compared to the energy balance with the door closed. In both situations, Q 
is approximately the same. However, the values of W will be different. With the door open, 
more electrical energy must be supplied to the refrigerator to compensate for heat loss to the 
apartment interior. Therefore, 
 
 shutajar WW > 
 
where the subscript “ajar” refers the situation where the door is open and the subscript “shut” 
refers to the situation where the door is closed. Since, 
 
 shutajar QQ = 
 shutshutshutajarajarajar WQUWQU +=∆>+=∆ 
 shutajar TT ∆>∆∴ 
 
The refrigerator door should remain closed.

The two cases are depicted below. 
 
 
 
 
Let’s consider the property changes in your house between the following states. State 1, when 
you leave in the morning, and state, the state of your home after you have returned home and 
heated it to the same temperature as when you left. Since P and T are identical for states 1 and 2, 
the state of the system is the same and ∆U must be zero, so 
 
 0=+=∆ WQU 
 
or 
 
 WQ =− 
 
where -Q is the total heat that escaped between state 1 and state 2 and W is the total work that 
must be delivered to the heater. The case where more heat escapes will require more work and 
result in higher energy bills. When the heater is on during the day, the temperature in the system 
is greater than when it is left off. Since heat transfer is driven by difference in temperature, the 
heat transfer rate is greater, and W will be greater. Hence, it is cheaper to leave the heater off 
when you are gone.

The amount of work done at constant pressure can be calculated by applying Equation 2.57 
 
 QH =∆

In a reversible process, the system is never out of equilibrium by more than an infinitesimal 
amount. In this process the gas is initially at 2 bar, and it expands against a constant pressure of 
1 bar. Therefore, a finite mechanical driving force exists, and the process is irreversible. 
 
To solve for the final temperature of the system, the energy balance will be written. The piston-
cylinder assembly is well-insulated, so the process can be assumed adiabatic. Furthermore, 
potential and kinetic energy effects can be neglected. The energy balance simplifies to 
 
 WU =∆

The maximum work can be obtained through a reversible expansion of the gas in the piston. 
Refer to Section 2.3 for a discussion of reversible processes. The problem states that the piston 
assembly is well-insulated, so the heat transfer contribution to the energy balance can be 
neglected, in addition to potential and kinetic energy effects. The energy balance reduces to 
 
 WU =∆

Since the vessel is insulated, the rate of heat transfer can be assumed to be negligible.

First, as always, simplify the energy balance. Potential and kinetic energy effects can be 
neglected. Therefore, the energy balance is 
 
 WQU +=∆ 
 
Since, this system contains water, we can the use the steam tables. Enough thermodynamic 
properties are known to constrain the initial state, but only one thermodynamic property is 
known for the final state: the pressure. Therefore, the pressure-volume relationship will be used 
to find the specific volume of the final state. Since the specific volume is equal to the molar 
volume multiplied by the molecular weight and the molecular weight is constant, the given 
expression can be written

Since the final state is the same as in Part (a), U∆ remains the same because it is a state function. 
The energy balance is also the same, but the calculation of work changes. The pressure from the

mechanical equilibrium is reached. The calculation of work becomes:

This part asks us to design

 a process based on what we learned in Parts (a) and (b). Indeed, as is 
characteristic of design problems there are many possible alternative solutions. We first refer to 
the energy balance. The value of heat transfer will be zero when 
 
 
 
For the same initial and final states as in Parts (a) and (b), 
 
 [ ]kJ 4918=∆= UW 
 
There are many processed we can construct that give this value of work. We show two 
alternatives which we could use: 
 
Design 1: 
If the answers to Part (a) and Part (b) are referred to, one can see that two steps can be used: a 
reversible compression followed by an irreversible compression. Let the subscript “i" represent 
the intermediate state where the process switches from a reversible process to an irreversible 
process. The equation for the work then becomes

Design 2: 
In an alternative design, we can use two irreversible processes. First we drop an intermediate 
weight on the piston to compress it to an intermediate state. This step is followed by a step 
similar to Part (b) where we drop the remaining mass to lead to 100 bar external pressure. In this 
case, we again must find the intermediate state. Writing the equation for work:

Before this problem is solved, a few words must be said about the notation used. The system 
was initially broken up into two parts: the constant volume container and the constant pressure 
piston-cylinder assembly. The subscript “1” refers to the constant volume container, “2” refers 
the piston-cylinder assembly. “i" denotes the initial state before the valve is opened, and “f” 
denotes the final state. 
 
To begin the solution, the mass of water present in each part of the system will be calculated. 
The mass will be conserved during the expansion process. Since the water in the rigid tank is 
saturated and is in equilibrium with the constant temperature surroundings (200 ºC), the water is 
constrained to a specific state. From the steam tables,

Now that the initial state has been characterized, the final state of the system must be determined. 
It helps to consider what physically happens when the valve is opened. The initial pressure of 
the rigid tank is 1553.8 kPa. When the valve is opened, the water will rush out of the rigid tank 
and into the cylinder until equilibrium is reached. Since the pressure of the surroundings is 
constant at 600 kPa and the surroundings represent a large temperature bath at 200 ºC, the final 
temperature and pressure of the entire system will match the surroundings’. In other words,

A sketch of the process follows: 
 
The initial states are constrained. Using the steam tables, we get the following:

m =

All the properties in the final state are equal. We need two properties to constrain the system: 
We can find the specific volume since we know the total volume and the mass:

We can also find the internal energy of state 2. Since the tank is well insulated, Q=0. Since it is

We start by defining the system as a bubble of vapor rising through the can. We assume the 
initial temperature of the soda is 5 oC. Soda is usually consumed cold; did you use a reasonable 
estimate for T1? A schematic of the process gives: 
 
 
 
where the initial state is labeled state 1, and the final state is labeled state 2. To find the final 
temperature, we perform an energy balance on the system, where the mass of the system (CO2

the bubble) remains constant. Assuming the process is adiabatic and potential and kinetic energy 
effects are negligible, the energy balance is

We used a negative sign since heat transfer occurs from the system to the surroundings. If vc is

The gas leaving the tank does flow work as it exits the valve. This work decreases the internal 
energy of the gas – lowering the temperature. During this process, water from the atmosphere 
will become supersaturated and condense. When the temperature drops below the freezing point 
of water, the water forms a solid. 
 
Attractive interactions between the compressed gas molecules can also contribute to this 
phenomena, i.e., it takes energy to pull the molecules apart as they escape; we will learn more of 
these interactions in Chapter 4.

corresponding volume and internal energy values in the steam tables at 6 MPa. The correct

First, the energy balance must be developed. Since the problem asks how much energy is stored 
in the battery after 10 hours of operation, the process is not steady-state. Let the battery be thesystem. Potential and kinetic energy effects can be neglected. Furthermore, heating of the 
battery as it is charged can be ignored. The energy balance is

To calculate the velocity of the falling water, an energy balance must be developed with the 
water passing through the electricity generator (probably a turbine) as the system, where the 
water enters with a velocity 1V

 and leaves with a negligible velocity, which will be approximated 
as 0. Assume that potential energy changes can be neglected. Furthermore, assume that the 
temperature of the water does not change in the process, so the change in internal energy is zero. 
Also, view the process as adiabatic. The energy balance reduces to 
 
 riverK WE  =∆ 
 
where riverW is the power of the flowing water. The actual power being provided by the stream 
can be calculated using the efficiency information. Let η represent the efficiency.

There are a number of reasons for the low conversion efficiency. A possible potential energy 
loss inherent in the design of the energy conversion apparatus decreases the efficiency. Heat is 
lost to the surroundings during conversion. Some of the energy is also lost due to friction (drag) 
effects.

To find the heat in we will apply the 1st law. Assuming steady state, the open system energy

Thus this problem reduces to finding the change in the thermodynamic property, enthalpy from 
the inlet to the outlet. We know 2 intensive properties at both the inlet and outlet so the values 
for the other properties (like enthalpy!) are already constrained. From Table A.2.1, we have an 
expression for the ideal gas heat capacity:

To answer this question, think about the structure of n-hexane and carbon monoxide. N-hexane 
is composed of 20 atoms, but carbon monoxide has two. One would expect the heat capacity to 
be greater for n-hexane since there are more modes for molecular kinetic energy (translational, 
kinetic, and vibrational). Because the heat capacity is greater and the rate of heat transfer is the 
same, the final temperature will be less.

It takes more energy to raise the temperature of a gas in a constant pressure cylinder. In both 
cases the internal energy of the gas must be increased. In the constant pressure cylinder work, 
Pv work must also be supplied to expand the volume against the surrounding’s pressure. This is 
not required with a constant volume. 
 
(b) 
As you perspire, sweat evaporates from your body. This process requires latent heat which cools 
you. When the water content of the environment is greater, there is less evaporation; therefore, 
this effect is diminished and you do not feel as comfortable.

By examining the heat capacity for each molecule, it should be clear that the magnitude of the 
heat capacity is directly related to the structure of the molecule.

Ar 
• Since argon is monatomic, translation is the only mode through which the atoms can 
exhibit kinetic energy. 
O
• Translation, rotation, and vibration modes are present. Since oxygen molecules are 
linear, the rotational mode of kinetic energy contributes RT per mol to the heat capacity. 
2 
NH
• Translation, rotation, and vibration modes are present. Ammonia molecules are non-
linear, so the rotation mode contributes 3RT/2 per mole to the heat capacity.

The vibration contributions can also be analyzed for oxygen and ammonia, which reveals that the 
vibration contribution is greatest for ammonia. This is due to ammonia’s non-linearity.

As heat is added to the system, the pressure does not remain constant, but saturation still exists. 
One thermodynamic property is required to constrain the system. Enough information is known 
about the initial state to find the volume of the container, which remains constant during heating, 
and this can be used to calculate the specific volume of state 2.

have the lower temperature. Since both the temperature and pressure are known for states 1 and

(i). We wish to use the steam tables to calculate the entropy change of liquid water as it goes 
from its freezing point to its boiling point. The steam tables in Appendices B.1 – B.5 do not 
have data for subcooled water at 1 atm. However, there is data for saturated water at 0.01 ºC and 
a pressure of 0.6113 kPa. If we believe that the entropy of water is weakly affected by pressure, 
then we can say that the entropy of water at 0.01 ºC and 0.6113 kPa is approximately equal to the 
entropy at 0 ºC and 1 atm. The molar volumes of most liquids do not change much with pressure 
at constant temperature. Thus, the molecular configurations over space available to the water 
molecules do not change, and the entropy essentially remains constant. We do not need to 
consider the molecular configurations over energy since the temperature difference is so slight. 
So, from the steam tables:

The change in entropy for process (ii) is 4.63 times the change in entropy for process (i). There 
are many ways to reconcile this difference, but think about it from a molecular point of view. In 
process (i), the available molecular configurations over energy are increased as the temperature 
increases. As the temperature increases, the molar volume also increases slightly, so the 
 18 
available molecular configurations over space also increase. Now consider process (ii), where 
the molecules are being vaporized and entering the vapor phase. The molecular configuration 
over space contribution to entropy is drastically increased in this process. In the liquid state, the 
molecules are linked to each other through intermolecular interactions and their motion is 
limited. In the vapor state, the molecules can move freely. Refer to Section 3.10 for a discussion 
of entropy from a molecular view.

Before calculating the change in entropy, we need to determine the final state of the system. Let 
the mixture of ice and water immediately after the ice has been added represent the system. 
Since the glass is adiabatic, no work is performed, and the potential and kinetic energies are 
neglected, the energy balance reduces 
 
 0=∆H 
 
We can split the system into two subsystems: the ice (subscript i) and the water (subscript w). 
Therefore, 
 
 0=∆+∆=∆ wwii hmhmH 
and 
 wwii hmhm ∆−=∆ 
 
 
We can get the moles of water and ice.

Now, let’s assume that all of the ice melts in the process. (If the final answer is greater than 0 
ºC, the assumption is correct.) The following expression mathematically represents the change 
in internal energies (cP=cv

(a) 
Since the process is reversible and adiabatic, the entropy change for the process is zero. 
 
 0=∆ syss 
 
Furthermore, since the process is adiabatic, the changes in entropy of the surroundings and the 
universe are also zero. 
 
(b) 
Since this process is isentropic (∆s=0), we can apply an expression for the entropy change of an 
ideal gas.

Reversible processes represent the situation where the minimum amount of energy is required for 
compression. If the process were irreversible, more work is required, and since the process is 
adiabatic, the change in internal energy is greater. Since the change in internal energy is greater, 
so too is the change in temperature. Therefore, the final temperature would be higher than the 
temperature calculated in Part (b).

The problem statement states that the vessel is insulated, so we can assume that heat transfer to 
the surroundings is negligible. Therefore, the expression for the entropy change of the universe 
is 
 
 sysuniv ss ∆=∆ 
 
An energy balance will help us solve for the entropy change. Neglecting potential and kinetic 
energy effects, the energy balance is 
 
 WQU +=∆ 
 
Since the vessel isinsulated, the heat term is zero. Furthermore, no work is done, so the energy 
balance is

The subscript “2” refers to the final state of the system. “1” refers to the gas initially on one side 
of the partition. If you take the system to be the entire tank (both sides of the partition), then no 
net work is performed as the gas leaks through the hole. Furthermore, the tank is well insulated, 
and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. Thus, the energy balance is 
 
 0=∆u 
and 
12 TT = (ideal gas) 
 
Initially, the partition is divided into two equal parts. The gas fills the entire volume for the final 
state ( 12 2VV = ). The ideal gas law can be used to calculate the moles of gas present.

The tank is insulated. The change in entropy of the universe can be rewritten as

since the tank is well-insulated. After the partition ruptures, the pressure and temperature will 
remain constant at 1 bar and 298 K, respectively. This can be shown by employing mass and

Before calculating the change in entropy, we need to find how the temperature and pressure 
change during the process. The energy balance simplifies to 
 
 0=∆U 
 
which can be rewritten as

Assuming the heat capacities are equal, we can show that 
 
 K 2982 =T 
 
We can find the pressure after the rupture by recognizing that the tank is rigid. Therefore, 
 
 totNO VVV =+ 22

For this process to work, conservation of mass and the first and second laws of thermodynamics 
must hold. The subscript “1” refers to the inlet stream, “2” refers to the cold outlet, and “3”

Let’s first calculate sysS∆ . Before this problem is solved, a few words must be said about the 
notation used. The system was initially broken up into two parts: the constant volume container 
and the constant pressure piston-cylinder assembly. The subscript “1” refers to the constant 
volume container; “2” refers the piston-cylinder assembly. “i" denotes the initial state before the 
valve is opened, and “f” denotes the final state. 
 
First, the mass of water present in each part of the system will be calculated. The mass will be 
conserved during the expansion process. Since the water in the rigid tank is saturated and is in 
equilibrium with the constant temperature surroundings (200 ºC), the water’s entropy is 
constrained. From the steam tables,

to calculate the mass present in the container.

Now the final state of the system must be determined. It helps to consider what physically 
happens when the valve is opened. The initial pressure of the rigid tank is 1553.8 kPa. When 
the valve is opened, the water will rush out of the rigid tank and into the cylinder until 
equilibrium is reached. Since the pressure of the surroundings is constant at 600 kPa and the 
surroundings represent a large temperature bath at 200 ºC, the final temperature and pressure of 
the entire system will match the surrounding’s. In other words,

In order to leave the system, the gas must do flow work on the surroundings. The initial state is 
the same as for Problem 3.30 and the final pressures are the same. Since the water only expands 
against 1 bar, the work is lower than that for the differential process described in Problem 3.30. 
Thus, this adiabatic process looses less energy, leading to a higher final temperature. 
 
Another way to view this argument is to look at this process as a closed system. This depiction 
is the expansion analog of the compression process depicted for Example 2.5 in Figure E2.5B 
(page 57). We can represent this process in terms of two latches, one that keeps the process in its 
initial state at 60 bar and one that stops the expansion after the pressure has reduced to 20 bar. 
The process is initiated by removal of the first latch and ends when the piston comes to rest 
against the second latch. Such a process is depicted as “Problem 3.31’ below. The 
corresponding reversible process of Problem 3.30 is shown next to it for comparison. Clearly the 
process on the left does less work, resulting in a greater final temperature.

To make the Rankine cycle more efficient, we need to increase the area that represents the net 
work in Figure 3.8. This can be done in a variety of ways: 
 
1. Increase the degree of superheating of steam in the boiler. This process is sketched in the 
upper left hand Ts diagram below. This change reduces the moisture content of steam 
leaving the turbine. This effect is desirable since it will prolong the life of the turbine; 
however, if the steam is heated too high, materials limitations of the turbine may need to be 
considered. 
 
2.Lower the condenser pressure. Lowering the pressure in the condenser will lower the 
corresponding saturation temperature. This change will enlarge the area on the Ts diagram, 
as shown on the upper right below. Thus, we may want to consider lowering the pressure 
below atmospheric pressure. We can achieve this since the fluid operates in a closed loop. 
However, we are limited by the low temperature off the heat sink that is available. 
 
 
 
 
 81 
3. Increase the boiler pressure. This will increase the boiler temperature which will increase the 
area as shown on the bottom left Ts diagram. 
 
4. We can be more creative about how we use the energy available in the boiler. One way is to 
divide the turbine into two stages, Turbine 1 and Turbine 2, and reheat the water in the boiler 
between the two stages. This process is illustrated below. 
 
 
 
The pressure in Turbine 1 will be higher than the pressure in turbine 2. This process is 
schematically shown on the bottom right Ts diagram. This process leads to less moisture 
content at the turbine exit (desirable) and limits the temperature of the superheat (desirable).

Is this modification practical? 
No. An isentropic turbine adds significant level of complexity to the cycle. Turbines are 
expensive and wear over time. Furthermore, the real turbine added to the cycle will not be 100% 
efficient, so the COP will not increase as much. The cost of the turbine is not justified by the 
increase in COP.

One design follows; your design may differ: 
 
In order to cool a system to -5 ºC, the temperature of the fluid must be colder than -5 ºC so that 
heat transfer will occur. We arbitrarily specify that the working fluid evaporates at -10 ºC. 
Similarly, in order to eject heat to the 20 ºC reservoir, the fluid must condense at a temperature 
greater than 20 ºC. Arbitrarily, we choose 25 ºC. One possible refrigeration cycle is presented 
below. 
 
 
 
A number of fluids will work sufficiently for this system, but the design process will be 
illustrated using R134a. For states 3 and 4, the pressure is constant, and for states 1 and 2, the 
pressure is constant at a different value. From the NIST website, we find 
 
 MPa 201.021 == PP (T

(Note: The temperatures of each state are not constant. The listed saturation temperatures 
are the temperatures at which the fluid evaporates and condenses.) 
 
Now that the pressures are known, we can compute the required flow rate required in order to 
provide 20 kW of cooling. 
 
 
 
We can get h2 from the thermodynamic tables for saturated R134a. In order to find h1

The schematic of the process and the corresponding Ts is presented below 
 
 
 
A number of refrigerants will work for this system, but the design process will be illustrated for 
R134a only. To define each state, we need to thermodynamically constrain each state. You 
should note that the problem doesn’t statewhat temperature the fluid condenses at. Therefore, 
we can assume the temperature is 25 ºC. By using information in the Ts diagram and from the 
NIST website, we find 
 
 MPa 34966.021 == PP (T1=T2=T

States 4, 5, and 6 are completely constrained as confirmed by Gibbs phase rule. Now, we need 
to find the liquid and vapor compositions of states 1, 2, and 3 to completely constrain the states.

When the polymer is unstretched it is in a more entangled state. When stretched the polymer 
chains tend to align. The alignment decreases the spatial configurations the polymer can have, 
and therefore, reduces that component of entropy. If the process is adiabatic, the entropy of the 
system cannot decrease. Consequently, its thermal entropy must increase. The only way this can 
be accomplished is by increased temperature.

Does this violate the second law of thermodynamics? This problem shows that the entropy 
change of the system is negative, but nothing has been said about the entropy change of the 
universe. We must look at the change in entropy of the surroundings to determine if the second 
law is violated. By looking at the enthalpies, we see that the reaction is exothermic, which 
means that heat is transferred from the system to the surroundings. Therefore, the entropy of the 
surroundings will increase during this reaction. 
 
 103 
3.48 
The temperature and pressure terms in the equation for entropy do not contribute anything to the 
entropy change because they are constant. Therefore, the only remaining entropy contribution, 
the randomness of the atomic arrangements, must be considered. The randomness does not 
increase when CdTe forms. In pure crystals of Cd and Te, the location of each atom is known 
because the crystal lattice constrains the atomic locations. In CdTe, the crystal lattice still 
defines the location of each atom, so the randomness has not increased. Therefore, the change in 
entropy is zero. 
 
3.49 
This argument is not scientifically sound. Morris is arguing that since evolution results in more 
order, the second law of thermodynamics is violated, so evolution must be impossible. However, 
the flaw in this argument is caused by ignoring the entropy change of the entire universe. The 
second law states that the entropy of the universe will remain constant or increase for any 
process. Morris’ argument was based on the entropy of the system undergoing evolution – not 
the entropy of the entire universe. A system can decrease in entropy if the entropy of the 
surroundings increases by at least that much.

Entropy is related to the number of configurations that a state can have. The greater the number 
of configurations, the more probable the state is and the greater the entropy. We can 
qualitatively relate this concept to the possible hands in a game of poker, but it is more 
interesting to quantify the results using some basic concepts of probability. 
 
We consider a hand of poker containing 5 cards randomly draw from a deck of 52 cards.. There 
are a finite number of permutations in which we can arrange a 52 card deck in 5 cards. For the 
first card in the hand, we select from 52 cards, the second card can be any other card so we select 
from 51 cards, the third card has 50 cards, and so on. Thus the number of permutations of 5 
cards is: 
 
 
 
P = 52 × 51×50 × 49 × 48 = 311,875,200 
 
However, we do not care the order in which the cards are dealt, so we must divide this number 
by the number of ways we can come up with the same hand. We do this math in a similar way. 
For a given handthere are five cards we can pick first, four we can pick second, …. So the 
number of ways we can make the same hand is: 
 
 
 
N = 5 × 4 × 3 ×2 ×1=120 
 
The number of unique configurations can be found by dividing P by N . Thus, the cards can 
display 
 
 
 
 
C =
P
N
= 2,598,960 
 
or 2,598,960 unique configurations. To find the “entropy” of a given hand, we need to find out 
how many of these unique configurations belong to the hand 
 
Consider a four of a kind. There are 13 different possible ranks of four of a kind, one for each 
number A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. The fifth card in the hand could be any of the other 
48 cards. Therefore, the number of combinations of four of a kind is: 13 x 48 = 624 
 
The probability of a four of a kind is: 624 / 2598960 = 1 / 4165 which is very unlikely. Thus the 
“entropy” of this hand is low. In contrast, there are 1,098,240 to have a hand that has one pair; 
therefore the probability of getting this hand is much greater, 1/2.4, and its “entropy” is high. 
The probability of having nothing is 1/2 which represents the most likely hand in poker, or the 
hand with the highest “entropy”. In fact, the rules of poker are defined so the hand of lower 
“entropy” always beats the hand of higher “entropy.”

It is equivalent to RTPv = , except the pressure term has been corrected to account for the ions’ 
intermolecular forces. The coulombic forces between the gas molecules affect the system 
pressure. This modification is similar to the van der Waals equation. Since we are limited to 1 
parameter, we need to choose the most important interaction. Since net electric point charges 
exert very strong forces, this effect will be more important than size.

The sign should be negative

 for a because the positively charged gas molecules repel each other 
due to coulombic forces. Therefore, the system pressure increases, i.e.,: 
 
 
 
Coulombic forces are much stronger than van der Waals interactions, so a will be large – much 
larger than a values for the van der Waals EOS. 
 
(c) 
Coulombic repulsion is the primary intermolecular force present in the gas. Coulombic potential 
energy is proportional to r-1. v is proportional to r3, so the coulombic potential goes as v-1/3

300 K, 10 atm. The intermolecular distance of molecules is greater at lower pressures. 
Therefore, fewer intermolecular interactions exist, which cause less deviation from ideality.

1000 K, 20 atm. At higher temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules (speed) is greater. 
The molecules interact less; thus, the compressibility factor is closer to unity.

The van der Waals EOS is appropriate since it accounts for the occupied molar volume and 
intermolecular forces, but it should be noted that more modern EOSs will give more accurate

The styrene will not decompose at this temperature. 
 
(c) 
The a parameter is related to attractive intermolecular forces. Dispersion is the controlling 
intermolecular force in this system, and its magnitude is directly related to the size of the 
molecules (polarizability component of dispersion). For the 5-monomer long polymer chain, a is 
5 times the a value in Part (b). The b parameter is also related to the size of the molecule since it 
accounts for the volume occupied by the molecules. Again, the b parameter for the reduced 
polymer chain is 5 times the b value from Part (b).

There are many ways to solve this problem, and the level of complexity varies for each method. 
To illustrate the principles in Chapter 4, two of the simplest solution methods will be illustrated. 
 
Method 1. Polarizability of each atom 
 
The polarizability of a molecule scales with the number of atoms; the polarizabilities of 
individual atoms are additive. Using the first two molecules, solution of the following system of 
equations 
 
 
4
141 CHHC ααα =+ 
 
62
162 HCHC ααα =+ 
 
 gives 
 
 [ ]325 cm 104.11 −×=Cα 
 [ ]325 cm 1065.3 −×=Hα 
 
 Now, the polarizability of the chlorine atom can be found. For chloroform, 
 
 
4
141 CClClC ααα =+ 
 
Therefore, 
 
 [ ]325 cm 104.23 −×=Clα 
 
The values of 83HC , ClCH3 , 22ClCH , and 3CHCl are calculated with the polarizabilities found 
above as follows, and compared to the values given.

CH2Cl 65.5 2 64.8 1.1 
CHCl 85.3 3 82.3 3.6 
 
 
All agree reasonably well. Now, the polarizabilities of 104HC and ClHC 52 will be calculated.

Method 2. Bond Polarizability 
 
For this method, we calculate the molecules’ polarizabilities by adding the polarizability of each 
bond, instead of the atoms. For the methane molecule

All agree reasonably well. This value predicts the polarizabilities of the other species in the table 
reasonably well. Now, the polarizabilities of 104HC and ClHC 52 will be calculated.

4.6 
 
(a) 
σ increases with molecular size. Therefore, 
 
222 OSI σσσ >> 
 
ε scales with magnitude of van der Waals interactions. Because these are non-polar, diatomic 
molecules, only dispersion forces are present. Dispersion forces depend on the first ionization 
potential and polarizability. Ionization energy is approximately equal for each molecule. The 
polarizability scales with molecular size, so 
 
 
222 OSI εεε >> 
 
 
(b) 
σ increases with molecular size. Diethylether and n-butanol have the same atomic formula and 
similar spatial conformations. Therefore, they should be about equal in size. Methyl ethyl 
ketone has fewer atoms, but has two exposed electron pairs on the double-bonded oxygen. The 
size of the molecular electron orbital of methyl ethyl ketone is approximately equal to the sizes 
of diethyl ether and n-butanol, so 
 
 ketone ethyl methylether diethylbutanol-n σσσ ≅≅ 
 
Methyl ethyl ketone and n-butanol are much more polar than diethyl ether due to their greater 
asymmetry, so their ε values are greater than diethyl ether’s. Now we must determine if there is 
greater attraction in n-butanol or methyl ethyl ketone. ε scales with the magnitude of van der 
Waals interactions. Since induction and dispersion forces are similar in these molecules, we 
must consider the strength of dipole-dipole forces. There is greater charge separation in the 
double bond of ketone, so 
 
 ether diethylbutanol-nketone ethyl methyl εεε >> 
 
 12 
4.7 
 
(a) 
At 30 bar, the water molecules are in closer proximity than they are at 20 bar. Intermolecular 
attractions are greater, so the magnitude of molecular potential energy is greater. The potential 
energy has a negative value for attractive interactions. The molecular kinetic energy is identical 
since the temperature is the same. Hence, the internal energy, the sum of kinetic and potential 
energies, is less at 30 bar. 
 
(b) 
The key to this phenomenon is hydrogen bonding. At 300 K and 30 bar, isopropanol and n-
pentane are both liquids. The hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions are present in 
isopropanol, and dispersion is present in n-pentane. The intermolecular forces are greater in the 
isopropanol, so the compressibility factor is smaller for isopropanol. 
 
At 500 K and 30 bar, both species are gases. In the gas phase, hydrogen bonding does not play a 
significant role. The dispersion forces in n-pentane are stronger than the dipole-dipole forces of 
isopropanol. Therefore, the compressibility factor is smaller for n-pentane. 
 
 
 13 
4.8 
 
(a) 
Ideal: For ideal NH3, the compressibility factor is equal to one. For real NH3, the strong 
intermolecular forces (dipole-dipole and dispersion) cause the molar volume to decrease. They 
outweigh the volume displaced by the physical size of NH3; thus, z will be less than one. 
 
(b) 
Internal energy will be greater for the ideal gas. In the real gas, intermolecular attractions are 
present. Internal energy value is the sum of potential and kinetic energies of the molecules. The 
absolute values of the kinetic energies are identical at identical temperature: however, the 
potential energy decreases for real NH3 due to attractive interactions - so the internal energy is 
less for the real NH3. 
 
(c) 
The entropy will be greater for the ideal gas. Entropy is a measure of possible molecular 
configurations or “randomness”. Ammonia has an electric dipole in which positive and negative 
charge are separated. The intermolecular forces in the real gas cause the molecules to align so 
that the positive charge in one molecule is adjacent to a negative charge in a neighboring 
molecule to reduce potential energy. Therefore, fewer possible configurations exist, which 
creates less randomness and lower entropy. 
 
 14 
4.9 
 
(a) 
We can determine which case has the higher compressibility factor by comparing the molar 
volumes at constant T and P. With Ne, very weak intermolecular attractions are present,so 
volume displacement becomes important. The compressibility factor will be slightly greater than 
one. In NH3, the strong intermolecular attractions decrease the molar volume, so z is less than 
one. The compressibility factor is greater for Ne. 
 
(b) 
Entropy is a measure of randomness. Both species are gases at these conditions. The 
intermolecular attractions present in NH3 reduce the number of possible configurations. The 
weak forces present in Ne have a much smaller effect. However, NH3 is asymmetrical, while Ne 
is symmetrical. The asymmetry of NH3 results in more possible configurations that NH3 can 
have. Therefore, it is difficult to qualitatively show for which case the entropy is greater. Since 
both species are gases, intermolecular interactions are relatively weak, and we can guess that 
entropy is greater in NH3.

To find the average distance between the two atoms of Ar, we can find the volume that each

We have two adjustable parameters, c1 and c2, to match the first (LJ) potential to the second 
(exp) potential. We need to choose reasonable criteria to specify. For this solution we choose 
equal well depths and equal values at Γ=1. Other choices may be just as valid; you should 
realize that you have two parameters to fit and so must specify two features. 
 
Using the above criteria, we iterate on a spreadsheet, to get the solution: 
 
 c1 = 143,000 and c2 = 11.8 
 
This solution is shown at two magnifications in the plots on the following page:

We draw the following conclusions:

the exp model. 
2. The Lennard-Jones potential increases more steeply at small radii, i.e., it behaves more 
like the hard-sphere potential. 
3. The two models are in reasonable qualitative agreement

The boiling points of the halides depend upon the strength of intermolecular attractions. The 
stronger the intermolecular attraction, the higher the boiling point. Dispersion and dipole-dipole 
interactions are present in all five species listed. The magnitude of the dipole-dipole interactions 
is similar so the pertinent intermolecular force in these molecules is dispersion. The molecular 
size increases from left to right. Polarizabilities are greater in larger molecules, which manifests 
in larger dispersion forces. Therefore, the boiling point increases from left to right.

The values of a for helium is two orders of magnitude less than the other species since it only has 
weak dispersion forces (small atom, small α). The values of a for methane, ammonia, and water 
are of the same magnitude because the sums of the intermolecular attractions for each molecule 
are similar. All three molecules have comparable dispersion forces; although slightly weaker in 
the ammonia and water. However, unlike methane, these two molecules also have dipole-dipole 
and induction forces. In fact, the strong dipole in water gives it the largest value 
 
The values of b are all of the same magnitude, as expected since b scales with size according to 
the number of atoms in the molecule.

The values for the van der Waals a constant have the correct qualitative trends and order of 
magnitude; however, those values predicted from basic potential theory vary significantly from 
corresponding states. The basic potential result presented in the text assumes that the species are 
evenly distributed throughout the volume. It does not take into account the structure given to the 
fluid through intermolecular forces. In fact, a more careful development includes a radial 
distribution function, which describes how the molecular density of the fluid varies with r. The 
radial distribution function depends on pressure and temperature of the fluid.

 As you may have discovered, these equations are largely empirical with no theoretical 
justification. They simply represent experimental data better. We can use our knowledge of 
intermolecular forces, however, to explain why these may work better. 
 If we compare these equations to the van der Waals equation, we note that the first term 
on the right hand side of all three equation is identical; we accounted for this term as a correction 
for finite molecular size (or alternatively repulsive interaction due to the Pauli Exclusion 
Principle). This form represents a hard sphere model. 
 The second term, that which deals with intermolecular attraction, is different in all three 
models. Both of the later equations include a temperature dependence in this term. We have 
seen that if attractive forces depend on orientation (dipole-dipole), they fall off with T as a result 
of the averaging process (recall discussion of Equation 4.11). 
 Another explanation goes as follows: as T increases, the molecules move faster, reducing 
the effect of intermolecular forces. If we say that the potential energy between two molecules 
depends on the amount of time that they spend close to each other, then it would be inversely 
related to velocity (The faster molecules are moving, the less time they spend in the vicinity of 
other species). In this case, the correction term would go as V-1
1
2 mV
2 = 32 kT
, where V is the molecular 
velocity. If we relate molecular velocity to temperature 
 
 
 
Therefore the correction term goes as T-1/2, as shown in the Redlich-Kwong equation. 
 The inclusion of a "b" term in the second term may help relax van der Waal's "hard 
sphere" model with a more realistic potential function, i.e., something closer to a Lennard Jones 
potential (Figure 4.8) than the Sutherland potential (Figure 4.7) upon which the van der Waals 
equation is based. It makes sense that this should be included in the force correction since this is 
taking into account repulsive forces. One example of a more detailed explanation follows: 
 If we look at the Redlich-Kwong equation, it says that if we have 2 species with the same 
attractive strength (same a -> same magnitude of van der Waals forces), the larger species will 
have less of an effect on P. The following sketch illustrates how 2 species could have the same 
van der Waals attractive forces: 
 
 27 
+-
Species 1 
smaller and polar 
(smaller b, same a)
Species 2 
larger and non-polar 
(larger b, same a)
London
London 
+ 
Dipole
=
 
 
In the case above, when the two species are the same distance apart, they have the same 
attractive force; however, the smaller species (1) can get closer before its electron cloud 
overlaps. Thus it has more opportunity for attractive interactions than the larger species. The 
Peng-Robinson equation exhibits the most complicated form in an attempt to better fit 
experimental data.

The answers from the three parts agree very well. Part (a) is not as accurate as Part (b) and Part 
(c) because water is not an ideal vapor. The value from Part (b) is 1.1 % smaller than the value 
from Part (c). Clearly, the Redlich-Kwong EOS or steam tables are appropriate for this

We see that at pressures above 1.5 MPa (15 bar) we see that the plot reaches a constant value of 
around -118 cm3/mol. We may choose to report this value as B. A more careful examination of 
Equation 2 suggests another possibility. 
 
If we plot (z-1)v vs. 1/v, we should get a straight line at low to moderate pressures with an 
intercept equal to the second virial coefficient, B, and a slope equal to the third virial coefficient, 
C. At very low pressures, the curve is indeed linear and gives an intercept of -140 cm3/mol, as 
shown on the next page. The slope of this region would yield the third virial coefficient, C. 
 
Can you calculate C?

The first value uses much more data while the second method uses limited data in a better range. 
What value would you be more apt to use? Water exhibits this “odd” general behavior at all

Since we are concerned with liquid water, we can base all our calculations on saturated liquid 
water since the molar volume of liquids are weakly dependent on pressure. Therefore, our 
results are also applicable to sub-cooled water (the pressure is greater than the saturation 
pressure). To find the thermal expansion coefficient, we will use the following approximation

1-hexanol had the largest percent error, while ethane and methane had the smallest percent 
errors. The alkenes have low percentile errors due to their nonpolar nature, which the alcohols 
and acids had large percentile errors due to being polar substances and exhibiting hydrogen 
bonds.

Note: Multiple possibilities exist for which substance to use in the vial. The solution using one 
possibility is illustrated below.

is a suitable substance, and it is safe to use. 
 
(b) 
The vial must be able to withstand the pressure of the substance at its critical point. Therefore, 
the vial must withstand 73.76 bar (the critical pressure of carbon dioxide). 
 
(c) 
Since the substance passes through its critical point, the molar volume at that state is constrained 
by the critical temperature and pressure. To estimate the molar volume, we can use the Peng-
Robinson EOS. Calculate the necessary parameters for the EOS:

If the vial contains less substance than needed, the molar volume will be greater. Therefore, the 
substance will not pass through the critical point. As the substance is heated, it will go through a 
transition from a saturated liquid and vapor mixture to superheated vapor. Then, it will become a 
supercritical fluid once the critical temperature is exceeded.

Since the temperature of the ammonia in this system is below the critical temperature, we know 
the ammonia is not a supercritical fluid. The pressure is greater than the critical pressure, so the 
ammonia is a liquid.

During this process the gas in Tank A undergoes an expansion from 7 bar to 3.28 bar. During 
this isentropic process, the gas cools. If attractive forces are present, they will manifest 
themselves more in state 1 at the higher pressure than in state 2. (While T has some effect to 
counter this trend, we expect it will be secondary to the effect of pressure). Thus, in the non-
ideal case, additional energy must be supplied to “pull” the molecules apart. Since the tank is 
insulated, the only place that this can come from is the kinetic energy of the molecules. Thus, 
they slow down even more than in the ideal gas case, and the final temperature is lower. If we 
had an equation of state that appropriately described the non-ideal behavior, we could apply the 
concepts of the thermodynamic web that we have learned in this chapter to solve for the final 
temperature.

A sketch of the process is provided below 
 
∂mwell
insulated
∆s = 0T1
P1 T2

The diagram shows an infinitesimal amount of mass being placed on top of the piston of a 
piston-cylinder assembly. The increase in mass causes the gas in the piston to be compressed. 
Because the mass increases infinitesimally and the piston is well insulated, the compression is 
reversible and adiabatic. For a reversible, adiabatic process the change in entropy is zero. 
Therefore, the compression changes the internal energy of the gas at constant entropy as the 
pressure increases. 
 
(b) 
To determine the sign of the relation, consider an energy balance on the piston. Neglecting 
potential and kinetic energy changes, we obtain 
 
 WQU +=∆ 
 
Since the process is adiabatic, the energy balance reduces to 
 
 WU =∆ 
 
As the pressure increases on the piston, the piston compresses. Positive work is done on the 
system; hence, the change in internal energy is positive. We have justified the statement

We can compare values to that of the heat capacity given in Appendix A2.2. While we often

temperature and pressure, .1<z The intermolecular attractions cause the molar volume to 
deviate negatively from ideality and are stronger than the repulsive interactions.

Alternative 1: path through ideal gas state 
Because the gas is not ideal under these conditions, we have to create a hypothetical path that

As the diaphragm ruptures, the total internal energy of the system remains constant. Because the 
volume available to the molecules increases, the average distance between molecules also 
increases. Due to the increase in intermolecular distances, the potential energies increase. Since 
the total internal energy does not change, the kinetic energy must compensate by decreasing. 
Therefore, the temperature, which is a manifestation of molecular kinetic energy, decreases.

Because the heat capacity is ideal under these circumstances we can create a two-step

To calculate the entropy departure we need to be careful. From Equation 5.64, we have: 
 
 ( ) ( )gas ideal 0,gas ideal,gas ideal 0,,gas ideal,, == −−−=− PTPTPTPTPTPT ssssss 
 52 
 
However, since we have a P explicit equation of state, we want to put this equation in terms of v. 
Let’s look at converting each state. The first two states are straight -forward 
 
 vTPT ss ,, = 
 
and 
 
 gas ideal,
gas ideal
0, ∞== = vTPT ss 
 
For the third state, however, we must realize that the ideal gas volume v’
'v
RTP =
 at the T and P of the 
system is different from the volume of the system, v. In order to see this we can compare the 
equation of state for an ideal gas at T and P 
 
 
 
to a real gas at T and P

Since the entropy change of the universe is positive we say this process is possible and that it is 
irreversible. 
 
Under these conditions propane exhibits attractive intermolecular forces (dispersion). The closer 
they are together, on average, the lower the energy. That we need to put work into this system 
says that the work needed to separate the propane molecules is greater than the work we get out 
during the irreversible expansion.
