Single component System
Gibbs Phase Rule: For simplicity the effect of body fields is neglected. If the
chemical phase is uniform and comprises of c chemical species, c+1
intensive variables need to be specified while keeping all other intensive
variables fixed.
The Gibbs Phase Rule (contd)
where U, S and V are the total internal energy, entropy and volume of
the system; iis a chemical potential. For equilibrium or quasistatic
process an equals sign is used whereas for other cases the un
equality sign is valid
If the
set of independent variables are not convenient to use then
the Lejandre transformation can be used to get other
thermodynamic potentials such as enthalpy H(S, p, N 1, . . ., Nv) = U
+ pV, Helmholtz energy A(T, V, N1, . . ., Nv) = U TS and Gibbs
energy G(T,p,N1..., Nv) = H TS.
For enthalpy we take the first equation:
dU=T dS-P dV
The function U(S,V) needs to be changed to H(S,P). A table of
equivalences is constucted:
fU (the original function)
xS(the variable that doesnt need to be changed)
u)y=)V =T (conjugate of unswitched variable)
y=V (varible that needs to be switched)
w)x=)S=-P(conjugate of switched variable)
Using the equation gf-wy we get:
gf-wy=(U)-(-P)(V)=U+PV=H(S,P)
Diffrentiate H to get:
dH=TdS+VdP
Similarly we can obtain the Gibbs Energy function:
dG=VdP-SdT
dG=VdP-SdT+i
For equilibrium conditions in a multicomponent system.
S=-p,N1,,Nv; V=-T,N1,,Nv
i=T,p,Nji
Raoults law for multi component
systems
Given a solution which contains one or more volatile components i,
partial pressure Pi for a gas that is in equilibrium with a liquid the
equation for that system is
P i = y i P = x i pi *
where P is the total pressure, yi is mole fraction of i in the gas
phase, xi is mole fraction of i in the liquid phase, and pi * is the
vapor pressure of pure liquid i.
It is important to note however in this equation the fact that the
approximation has to work well when xi approaches 1. This equation
works best for components with similar molecular weights and
polarity.
Henrys Law
The equation above can be solved if we know the mole fractions and the
vapour pressures as a function of temperature.
Dew point temperature and
pressure calculations:
For dew
point temperature similar assumptions will be made and
Raoults law will be expressed as:
yiP= xipi*
yi is the gas mole fraction and xi is the liquid mole fraction.
Furthermore another physical constraint needs to be satisfied which is
