  • Ideal and Real Gases

Equations of State
The Ideal Gas

  • Ideal gas properties
      • Volume of gas molecules is negligible compared with gas volume
      • Forces of attraction or repulsion between molecules or walls of container are zero
      • No loss of internal energy due to collisions

Ideal Gas Mixture
  • The pressure in a vessel containing an ideal gas mixture (n) or a single gas component (nk) is


10
Partial Pressure



  • Pk is the partial pressure of component k, and by definition

Compressibility Factor Charts
17
The Principle of Corresponding States
18
Typical Reduced Parameters
  • Material properties are usually expressed in terms of reduced parameters such as:


      • Reduced Temperature:


19
"Reduced Pressure:"

      • Reduced Pressure:




      • Reduced Molar Volume:


20
Reduced Parameters
  • Usually Tr and Pr ŕ Vr obtained as a function of Tr and Pr
  • These are called two-parameter Corresponding States models
  • Three-parameter corresponding states models improve predictions but third parameter is not Vr (not independent variable)


21
Generalized Corresponding States Three-Parameter
  • This third parameter is called the acentric factor.
  • It takes into account the non-spherical nature of molecules
  • Peng Robinson and the Soave Redlich Kwong equations of state (EOS) are examples of three parameter corresponding states models.
22
Compressibility Factor Charts
  • Following the POC only one compressibility factor chart can be used to determine volumetric properties of any pure fluid by using its reduced properties. The shape of this chart is in general.


23
Corresponding States Correlations & Models
24
Extension of Corresponding States to Mixtures
  • Z factor charts (all built from EOS) are also used for multicomponent systems in this case the coordinates used are “pseudo-reduced properties”
  • For a mixture you can use the same charts as for a pure component.
25
Pseudoreduced Properties
  • For mixtures the same type of charts apply but using “pseudoreduced properties” which are defined similarly as the ratio of pressure (or temperature) with “pseudoreduced critical pressure" (or temperature). These pseudocritical properties are an average of the critical properties of the components in the mixture.  Charts for mixtures can also be used for single component fluids.

27
Pseudocritical Properties of Natural Gases
  • Pseudoreduced Pressure




  • Pseudoreduced Temperature


28
Pseudocritical Properties of Natural Gases
  • If only the specific gravity and Mw of of the gases is known then charts are available to estimate these pseudocritical properties (McCain figure 3-10 ).
29
Pseudocritical Properties of Natural Gases
  • Naturally the degree of accuracy is reduced substantially. We well see methods when compositional information is available, in this case:

  • Once Z is evaluated you can find the gas density as
