Heat Capacities of an Ideal Gas I01:14

Heat Capacities of an Ideal Gas I

4.3K
Heat capacity is the ratio of heat absorbed by the substance corresponding to its temperature change. It is also called thermal capacity and the SI unit of heat capacity is J/K. Whereas, specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat necessary to change the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 K and is also called massic heat capacity. Its SI unit is J/kg⋅K.
Molar heat capacity quantifies the ratio of the amount of heat added (or removed) to increase (or decrease) the...

Heat Capacities of an Ideal Gas II

3.8K
For a system that undergoes a thermodynamic process at a constant volume condition, the heat absorbed is used only to increase the system's internal energy and not for doing any kind of work. While for a system undergoing a thermodynamic process under a constant pressure condition, the amount of heat absorbed is used not only for increasing the internal energy (as a function of temperature) but also for doing some work. The molar heat capacity is the amount of heat required to increase the...

Heat Capacities of an Ideal Gas III

The number of independent ways a gas molecule can move along straight line, rotate, and vibrate is called its degrees of freedom. Supposing d represents the number of degrees of freedom of an ideal gas, the molar heat capacity at constant volume of an ideal gas in terms of d is

Molecular and Ionic Solids02:54

Molecular and Ionic Solids

20.2K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Heating and Cooling Curves02:44

Heating and Cooling Curves

28.0K
When a substance—isolated from its environment—is subjected to heat changes, corresponding changes in temperature and phase of the substance is observed; this is graphically represented by heating and cooling curves.
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...

  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Thermodynamics

Background:

  • Nanoporous materials offer high surface area and low thermal conductivity, making them suitable for adsorbed natural gas (ANG) storage.
  • Accurate quantification of gas-solid coupling under varying temperature and pressure is crucial for optimizing ANG storage, but traditional models face limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a multiscale approach for quantifying gas-solid coupling effects in nanoporous materials for ANG storage.

Main Results:

  • MD simulations provided quantitative data on methane adsorption capacity, effective thermal conductivity, and gas-solid coupling influenced by temperature and pressure.
  • Identified distinct pressure regimes: low pressures (< 2.1 × 10^5 Pa) dominated by solid heat transfer, and high pressures (> 2.1 × 10^5 Pa) where gas-solid interaction significantly increases.
  • Established a quantitative correlation for gas-solid coupling area and a predictive model for effective thermal conductivity.

Conclusions:

  • The multiscale approach accurately quantifies gas-solid coupling effects in nanoporous materials for ANG storage.
