23. Thermodynamics Relations
T-s and P-h diagrams for liquid-vapour regime are useful in
refrigeration cycle calculations
From Tds relations, it can be shown that for a reversible
process 1-2 the area under the curve 1-2, in T-s diagram is
equal to the heat transfer during the process
For all practical purposes, the enthalpy of a sub-cooled
liquid may be taken as equal to the enthalpy of saturated
liquid at the sub-cooled temperature.

properties can be calculated from:

25. Thermodynamic Property Tables
Property values for saturated and superheated regions are
available in the form of tables for many fluids
The internal energy, enthalpy and entropy values reported
are based on a reference state, which may vary from table to
table
The saturated property tables are either temperature or
pressure based
The superheated tables are available for different pressures
and degrees of superheat

28. Some Common Thermodynamic processes
3. Constant temperature (isothermal) process:
According to Boyle’s law,
when a gas is compressed or expanded at constant temperature, the pressure will
vary inversely with the volume.
Since the gas does work as it expands, if the temperature is to remain constant,
energy to do the work must be supplied from an external source
When a gas is compressed, work is done on the gas and if the gas is not cooled
during the process the internal energy of the gas will increase by an amount equal
to the work of compression.
Therefore if the temperature of the gas is to remain constant during the process gas
must reject heat to the surroundings.
Since there is no temperature increase in the system change in internal energy
becomes zero. And the amount of work done will be the amount of heat supplied.

An adiabatic process is one in which no heat transfer takes place to
or from the system during the process. For a fluid undergoing an
adiabatic process,
the pressure and volume satisfy the following relation:
where k is the coefficient of adiabatic compression or expansion.
For an ideal gas, it can be shown that:

5. Polytropic process: When a gas undergoes a reversible process in
which there is heat transfer, the process frequently takes place in such
a way that a plot of log P vs log V is a straight-line, implying that:
The value of n can vary from −∞ to +∞, depending upon the process.
For example:
For isobaric process: n=0; P=constant
For isothermal process: n=1; T=constant
For isentropic process: n=k; s=constant
For isochoric process: n=-∞; v=constant
34. Some Common Thermodynamic processes
The expression for work is valid for all n, except n=1 (isothermal)

35. Some Common Thermodynamic processes
6. Throttling (Isenthalpic) process: A throttling process occurs when a
fluid flowing through a passage suddenly encounters a restriction in
the passage.
The restriction could be due to the presence of an almost completely
closed valve or due to sudden and large reduction in flow area etc.
The result of this restriction is a sudden drop in the pressure of the fluid
as it is forced to flow through the restriction.
This is a highly irreversible process and is used to reduce the pressure
and temperature of the refrigerant in a refrigeration system.
since no external work is done, we can write the 1st law of
thermodynamics for this process as:
Ex.: Throttling of fluid (Flow process)
If the flow of the fluid is steady and change in kinetic and potential
energies are negligible; then:

6. Throttling (Isenthalpic) process:
Ex.: Throttling of fluid (Flow process)
If the flow of the fluid is steady and change in kinetic and potential
energies are negligible; then:
The areas of inlet and outlet of a throttling device are designed in such
a way that velocities at inlet and outlet become almost equal. Then the
above equation becomes
Thus throttling process is an isenthalpic process.
