This document summarizes Chapter 2 of a thermodynamics textbook. It discusses properties of pure substances, including their different phases and how they change phases. It describes phase change processes and diagrams used to represent these processes. The summary also discusses equations of state that can be used to model the behavior of substances, like the ideal gas law and more complex equations that account for real gas behavior better. Key concepts covered include saturation temperature/pressure, quality, and using compressibility to account for deviations from ideal gas behavior.

Chapter Summary
• A substance that has a fixed chemical
composition throughout is called a pure
substance.

Chapter Summary
• A pure substance exists in different phases
depending on its energy level. In the liquid phase,
a substance that is not about to vaporize is called
a compressed or subcooled liquid.

Chapter Summary
• In the gas phase, a substance that is not about to
condense is called a superheated vapor.

Chapter Summary
• During a phase-change process, the temperature
and pressure of a pure substance are dependent
properties. At a given pressure, a substance
changes phase at a fixed temperature, called the
saturation temperature. At a given temperature,
the pressure at which a substance changes phase
is called the saturation pressure. During a boiling
process, both the liquid and the vapor phases
coexist in equilibrium, and under this condition
the liquid is called saturated liquid and the vapor
saturated vapor.

Chapter Summary
• In a saturated liquid-vapor mixture, the mass
fraction of the vapor phase is called the quality
and is defined as
The quality may have values between 0 (saturated
liquid) and 1 (saturated vapor). It has no meaning
in the compressed liquid or superheated vapor
regions.

Chapter Summary
• In the saturated mixture region, the average value
of any intensive property y is determined from
where f stands for saturated liquid and g for
saturated vapor.

Chapter Summary
• In the absence of compressed liquid data, a
general approximation is to treat a compressed
liquid as a saturated liquid at the given
temperature, that is,
where y stands for v, u, or h.

Chapter Summary
• The state beyond which there is no distinct
vaporization process is called the critical point. At
supercritical pressures, a substance gradually and
uniformly expands from the liquid to vapor phase.

Chapter Summary
• Various properties of some pure sub-stances are
listed in the appendix. As can be noticed from
these tables, the compressed liquid has lower v, u,
and h values than the saturated liquid at the same
T or P. Likewise, superheated vapor has higher v,
u, and h values than the saturated vapor at the
same T or P. is a major application area of
thermodynamics.

Chapter Summary
• Any relation among the pressure, temperature,
and specific volume of a substance is called an
equation of state. The simplest and best-known
equation of state is the ideal-gas equation of state,
given as
where R is the gas constant. Caution should be
exercised in using this relation since an ideal gas
is a fictitious substance. Real gases exhibit ideal-
gas behav-ior at relatively low pressures and high
temperatures.

Chapter Summary
• The Z factor is approximately the same for all
gases at the same reduced temperature and
reduced pressure, which are defined as
where Pcr and Tcr are the critical pressure and
temperature, respectively. This is known as the
principle of corresponding states.
