Chapter 8 Balances on Nonreactive Processes8.1 Elements of Energy Balances Calculations
8.1a Reference States – A Review
We can never know the absolute values of and for a species at a given state. Fortunately, we never need to know the absolute values of and at specifiedstates; we only need to know and for specified changes of state, and we can determine these quantities experimentally.
We may therefore arbitrarily choose a reference state for a species and determine for the transition from the reference state to a series of other states.
If we set equal to zero, then for a specified state is the specific internal energy at that state relative to the reference state. The specific enthalpies at each state can then be calculated from the definition, , provided that the specific volume ( ) of the species at the given temperature and pressure is known.
The values of and in the steam tables were generated using this procedure. The reference state was chosen to be liquid water at the triple point [H2O(l, 0.01C, 0.00611 bar)], at which point was defined to be zero.

and are state properties of a species; that is, their values depend only on the state of the species – primarily on its temperature, state of aggregation (solid, liquid or gas), and, to a lesser extent, on its pressure (and for mixture of some species, on its mole fraction in the mixture).
A state property does not depend on how the species reached its state. Consequently, when a species passes from one state to another, both and for the process are independent of the path taken from the first state to the second one.
8.1b Hypothetical Process Paths

In most of this chapter and in chapter 9, we will learn how to calculate internal energy and enthalpy changes associated with certain processes; specifically,
1.Changes in P at constant T and state of aggregation (Section 8.2).2.Changes in T at constant P and state of aggregation (Section 8.3).3.Phase changes at constant T and P – melting, solidifying, vaporizing, condensing, sublimating (Section 8.4).4.Mixing of two liquids or dissolving of a gas or a solid in a liquid at constant T and P (Section 8.5).5.Chemical reaction at constant T and P (Chapter 9).
Once we know how to calculate and for these five step of processes, we can calculate these quantities for any process by taking advantage of the fact that and are state properties. The procedure is to construct a hypothetical process path from the initial state to the final state consisting of a series of steps of the given five steps.
Having done this, we calculate for each of the steps, and then add the for the steps to calculate for the total process. Since is a state property, calculated for the hypothetical process path – which we constructed for convenience – is the same as for the path actually followed by the process.

Sensible Heat : heat that must be transferred to raise or lower the temperature of a substance or mixture of substances.

8.3c Estimation of Heat Capacities
The polynomial expressions for Cp in Table B.2 are based on experimental data for the listed compounds and provide a basis for accurate calculations of enthalpy changes. Several approximate methods for estimating heat capacities in the absence of tabulated formulas are presented.
Kopp’s rule is a simple empirical method for estimating the heat capacity of a solid or liquid at or near 20C. According to the rule, Cp for a molecular compound is the sum of contributions (given in Table B.10) for each atomic element in the compound.

Suppose we wish to calculate the enthalpy change associated with a change in temperature undergone by a mixture of substances. Enthalpies and heat capacities of certain mixtures are tabulated in standard references. Lacking such data, we may use the following approximation:
Rule 1 : For a mixture of gases or liquids, calculate the total enthalpy change as the sum of the enthalpy changes for the pure mixture components. The enthalpy changes associated with the mixing of the components are neglected.Rule 2 : For highly dilute solutions of solids or gases in liquids, neglect the enthalpy change of the solute. The more dilute the solution, the better this approximation.
The calculation of enthalpy changes for the heating or cooling of a mixture of known composition may often be simplified by calculating a heat capacity for the mixture in the following manner:
scomponent�mixture���all�����
piimixp )T(Cy)T()C((Cp)mix = heat capacity of the mixtureyi = mass or mole fraction of the ith componentCpi = heat capacity of the ith component
If Cpi and (Cp)mix are expressed in molar units, then yi must be the mole fraction of the ith component, and if the heat capacities are expressed in mass units, then yi must be the mass fraction of the ith component.

A gas stream containing 8.0 mole% CO and 92.0 mol% CO2 at 500C is fed to a waste heat boiler, a large metal shell containing a bundle of small-diameter tubes. The hot gas flows over the outside of the tubes. Liquid water at 25C is fed to the boiler in a ratio 0.200 mol feedwater/mol hot gas and flowed inside the tubes. Heat is transferred from the hot gas through the tube walls to the water, causing the gas to cool and the water to heat to its boiling point and evaporate to form saturated steam at 5.0 bar. The steam may be used for heating or power generation in the plant or as the feed to another process unit. The gas leaving the boiler is flared (burned) and discharged to the atmosphere. The boiler operates adiabatically – all the heat transferred from the gas goes into the water, as opposed to some of it leaking through the outside boiler wall.

8.3e Numerical Integration of Tabulated Heat Capacities

T
T pdTC
If a function relation for Cp(T) is available, such as one of polynomial of Table B.2, the integration can be carried out analytically; and if tabulated specific enthalpies are available for the substance being heated or cooled, a simple subtraction replaces the integration.
The only information you have about Cp is its value at a series of temperatures that span the range from T1 to T2. The question is how to estimate the value of the integral from these data.
A better solution is to use one of the many existing quadrature formulas – algebraic expressions that provide estimates of the integrals of tabulated data. Several such formulas are presented and illustrated in Appendix A.3.
8.4 Phase Change Operations
Phase changes such as fusion and vaporization are usually accompanied by large changes in internal energy and enthalpy. Heat transfer requirements in phase change operations consequently tend to be substantial, since (closed constant-volume system) or (open system).
UQ HQ
8.4a Latent Heats
The specific enthalpy change associated with the transition of a substance from one phase to another at constant temperature and pressure is known as the latent heat of the phase change.
Latent heats for the two most commonly encountered phase changes are defined as follows:
1.Heat of fusion (or heat of melting). is the specific enthalpy difference between the solid and liquid forms of a species at T and P.
2.Heat of vaporization. is the specific enthalpy difference between the liquid and vapor forms of a species at T and P.
)P,T(Hm
)P,T(Hv
Tabulated values of these two latent heats, such as those in Table B.1 and on pp. 2-151 through 2-160 of Perry’s Chemical Engineers’ Handbook, usually apply to a substance at its normal melting or boiling point – that is, at a pressure of 1 atm. The quantities are referred to as standard heats of fusion and vaporization.

The latent heat of a phase change may vary considerably with the temperature at which the change occurs but hardly varies at all with the pressure at the transition point. For example:
When using a tabulated latent heat, you must therefore be sure that the phase change in question takes place at the temperature for which the tabulated value is reported, but you may ignore moderate variations in pressure.
Example 8.4-1

Phases changes often occur at temperatures other than the temperature for which the latent heat is tabulated. When faced with this situation, you must select a hypothetical process path that permits the available data to be used.

If a phase change takes place in a closed system, you must evaluate for the phase changes to substitute into the energy balance equation.
For phase changes such as fusion, which involve only liquids and solids, changes in are generally negligible compared to changes in , so that
For vaporization, for the vapor (which equals RT if ideal gas behavior may be assumed) is normally orders of magnitude greater than for the liquid, so that , and

8.4c Energy Balances on Processes Involving Phase Changes
When writing an energy balance on a process in which a component exists in two phases, you must choose a reference states for that component by specifying both a phase and a temperature and calculate the specific enthalpy of the component in all process streams relative to this state.
If the substance is a liquid at its reference state and a vapor in a process stream, may be calculated as outlined in Section 8.4a: that is, bring the liquid from the reference temperature to a point at which is known, vaporize the liquid, bring the vapor to the process stream temperature, and sum the individual enthalpy changes for the three steps.
