Hi guys,
I just don't seem to get this topic fundamentally and also how to actually apply it. Just focusing on compressible flow by the way.
Wikipedia starts by saying "Fanno flow is the adiabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of friction is considered."
Basically, I...
"For an ideal gas, the dU term will change due to a change in temperature of the gas."
I'm not saying you're saying. But the question is how come the wiki page says that there's no change in temperature for an ideal gas through an expansion (see the screenshot I posted in my previous post)?
The PdV work we're talking about here is strictly expansion work, not flow work. So could it be that work only needs to be done to expand only in circumstances where there's attractive forces whereas ideal gas has no attractive that are needed to overcome (in a case where it's only a fluid...
Yep agree that dPV = dU for isenthalpic ideal gas expansion. None of the quantities change. Even though there is an expansion. Is your question that how can I say there is no PV work being done at the same time saying there's an expansion?
Yes, one of the fundamental aspects of the Joule Thomson expansion is that it's an irreversible expansion and expansion through the throttle is the most irreversible situation because it happens the fastest (in one step if you will). I mean in fact, all real processes are irreversible and this...
I'm slightly out of my element here as my thermo was always weak :( haha
I think we're conflating two different types of work but unfortunately they're both called PV work which is confusing. Though these might be related in some way I don't well understand. You've been talking about flow work...
Hey, thanks for the input.
I don't believe V has to necessarily be an intensive property here. It is in h=u+Pv (small case, intensive) which seems to be just as valid/applicable as H=U+PV (capital case, extensive) where it is an extensive property. In the wiki link here, they show it in...
Hey guys,
I think I may have figured out the answer to my own question (possibly) if anyone is interested..
As I expected, I think it's confusion arising from semantics..
I think the PV quantity in the enthalpy equation H=U+PV has a slightly different meaning than the PV in PVk=constant...
First of all, thank you for the response. There's a few separate things that need to be parsed out here...
I'll first lay out all the expansion scenarios. I've got this from a wide mix of sources:
Joule-Thomson (JT) expansion effect is isenthalpic, so H=U+PV must be constant. U consists of...
Can anyone tell me if my question makes sense please? I'm not sure if the question is incomprehensible or if you guys aren't sure of the answer either.
Maybe this thread has gotten too deep and messy and maybe I should just make a new clean independent thread with the question?
Thank you!
If anyone would like, let me just restate the question at hand:
I was studying the wikipedia page on Joule-Thomson expansion effect closely in detail, because as I understand it, that is essentially the fundamental expansion that we see in compressible flow, which we've been discussing in this...
