Energy Balances without Reaction
Part c: Calculating Changes in Enthalpy
(Felder & Rousseau Ch 8)
Energy Balances. F&R Chapter 8
How do we calculate enthalpy (and internal energy) changes when we don’t
have tabulated data (e.g., steam tables) for the process species?
Basic procedures to calculate enthalpy (and internal energy changes)
associated with the following processes are covered in Chapter 8 (no
Reaction): Remember, 3 pieces of information set the thermodynamic state of
matter: P, T and Phase.
• Ĥ with change in P (at constant T and phase) (F&R 8.2)
• Ĥ with change in T (at constant P and phase) (F&R 8.3)
• Ĥ with change in phase (at constant T and P) (F&R 8.4)
To keep track of our calculations, we will summarize enthalpies in an
Inlet‐Outlet Enthalpy Table.
Sections not covered in Ch 8 include 8.3c, 8.3e, 8.4b, 8.4d, 8.4e, 8.5

Hypothetical Process Paths
To calculate enthalpy changes, we need to construct a hypothetical
process path, with:
– A starting point: your defined reference state (phase, T and P)
– An end point: the conditions of the stream of interest (inlet or outlet)
Since Û and Ĥ are state properties (values are dependent only on the
state of the species (phase, T and P) and not how they got there), any
convenient process path from a reference state to a process state can be
chosen
The ideal process path will allow you to make use of:
– sensible heats heat capacities (Table B2)
– phase transition temperatures Tm, Tb (at which data are often listed,
e.g. latent heats) (Table B1)
– latent heats heat of vapourization, heat of melting (Table B1)
We could use the steam tables and find (Remember: final‐initial):
Ĥ 3264 ( 334) 3612 kJ/kg - 334 kJ/kg is the enthalpy of ice
How would we calculate the enthalpy change if we didn’t have the steam
tables?

Phase changes occur from the solid to the liquid phase, and from the liquid to
the gas phase, and the reverse. The specific enthalpy change (heat)
associated with the phase change at constant T and P is known as the latent
heat of the phase change (i.e., latent heat of vapourization or simply heat of
vapourization).
Table B.1 reports these two
Hmelting latent heats for substances
at their normal melting and
boiling points (i.e., at a
pressure of 1 atm).

Closed System‐‐Find U . The quantity of sensible heat required to produce a
temperature change in a system can be determined from the appropriate
form of the first law of thermodynamics:

be kept at constant volume)

Heat Capacity Formulas
Heat capacity – the amount of heat required to raise the
temperature of one mole or one gram of a substance by one
degree Celsius without change in phase
units: J cal
or
mol K g C
If Cp were constant, our job would be easy: H = CP (T2‐T1)
But, heat capacities are functions of temperature and are expressed in
polynomial form:
Cp = a + bT + cT2 + dT3 (Form “1”)
or,
Cp = a + bT+ cT‐2 (Form “2”)
Values of coefficients a, b, c, and d are given in Table B.2.

Notes Regarding Table B.2
Be sure you use the correct functional form
– Cp = a + bT + cT2 + dT3 (Form 1) or Cp = a + bT+ cT‐2 (Form 2)
Temperature units are sometimes K and sometimes C
Positive exponent in table heading means you use negative
exponent in the expression
– E.g., if a x 103 = 123.0 a = 123.0 x 10‐3

Specific Enthalpies of Gases – Table B.8
• Can be used to estimate H changes as an alternative to integrating the Cp
equation.
• Interpolation may be required.
• The reference state of these gases is: 1 atm and 25C.
• Use this table as you would for the steam tables, however, note that for
H2O, the units and reference state are different than the steam tables.

Procedure for Energy Balance Calculations
1. Draw and completely label a process flow diagram
2. Perform all material balance calculations
3. Choose a reference state (phase, T, P) for each species involved
– If using enthalpy tables, use reference state used to generate table
– If no tables are available, choose one inlet or outlet condition as the
reference state for the species
4. Construct an inlet‐outlet enthalpy table
– Columns for inlet and outlet amounts of each species along with their
corresponding Ûi or Ĥi values
– Use a separate row for each phase of a species
– Identify unknowns with variables (e.g., Ĥ1, Ĥ2, etc.)

Example 3: Final Exam 2006
In the following process for condensing methanol vapour from air most of the
entering methanol is liquefied in this steady‐state process, with the remaining
fraction exiting with the air stream. Both exit streams are at 0 ºC and 5 atm.
Shaft work is delivered to the system at a rate of 30 kW to achieve the
compression.
5.184 mol air/s
0.058 mol MeOH(v) /s
150 °C 1 atm
5.760 mol/s 0 °C 5 atm
0.10 mol MeOH(v) /mol
0.90 mol air/mol 0 °C 5 atm
Construct an inlet‐outlet enthalpy table for the process, and calculate all
unknown enthalpies. Identify the reference states selected for the
components, and state all assumptions. What is the rate (kW) at which heat
must be removed from the condenser?
