Thermodynamics of a perfect liquid, help please

In summary, assuming water is a perfect liquid with a density of 1000 kg/m3 and a specific heat of 4184 J/kgK, an adiabatic, frictionless process with a pressure increase from 200 kPa to 1500 kPa leads to a change in temperature of 600K, a change in specific internal energy of 2512 kJ/kg, and a change in specific enthalpy of 2512 kJ/kg. To produce the same change in enthalpy in an isobaric process, the temperature must increase by 600K.

Homework Statement



Water, assumed to be a perfect liquid, has a density of 1000 kg/m3 and a specific heat of 4184 J/kgK. The water undergoes an adiabatic, frictionless process in which its pressure is raised from 200 kPa to 1500 kPa. Find:
1. change in temperature
2. change in specific internal energy
3. change in specific enthalpy
4. temperature change required for isobaric process to change the enthalpy that same amount as in part 3

Homework Equations



ds = c ln(P2/P1)
Tds = de
Tds = dh

The Attempt at a Solution



I have done the following, is this correct logic?

1. ds = c ln(P2/P1) = 4184 ln(1500/200) = 8430
Tds=cdT => dT = Tds/c = (298*8430)/4184 = 600K
so change in temp dT = 600K

2. Tds = de
de = 298 * 8430 = 2512 kJ/kg

3. Tds = dh
dh = 298 * 8430 = 2512 kJ/kg

4. I am not quite sure how to do this part.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Hello! Your approach for parts 1-3 looks good. For part 4, you can use the formula for enthalpy change in an isobaric process, which is dh = c(T2-T1). You already have the change in enthalpy from part 3 (2512 kJ/kg), so you can plug that in and solve for the change in temperature. This will give you the temperature change required for an isobaric process to produce the same change in enthalpy as in part 3. Hope this helps!

Thank you.



Your approach to the first three parts is correct. For the fourth part, you can use the equation for enthalpy change in an isobaric process: dH = Cp*dT, where Cp is the specific heat at constant pressure. Since the process is adiabatic and frictionless, the enthalpy change will be the same as the internal energy change. So, you can set the two equations equal to each other and solve for the temperature change (dT) required to produce the same change in enthalpy as in part 3. This will give you the temperature change required for an isobaric process to produce the same enthalpy change as in the adiabatic process.
 

1. What is a perfect liquid in thermodynamics?

A perfect liquid, also known as an ideal liquid, is a theoretical construct used in thermodynamics to model the behavior of real liquids. It is a liquid that has no internal friction or viscosity, and its molecules do not interact with each other.

2. How does the thermodynamics of a perfect liquid differ from that of a real liquid?

The thermodynamics of a perfect liquid is an idealized model and does not account for the complexities of real liquids, such as intermolecular forces and molecular interactions. In a real liquid, these factors affect the behavior and properties of the liquid, making it deviate from the ideal behavior of a perfect liquid.

3. What are the key properties of a perfect liquid in thermodynamics?

In thermodynamics, a perfect liquid is characterized by having constant density, zero viscosity, and zero thermal conductivity. It also follows the laws of thermodynamics, such as the conservation of energy and the increase of entropy.

4. What is the significance of studying the thermodynamics of a perfect liquid?

The study of the thermodynamics of a perfect liquid helps us understand the fundamental principles and laws that govern the behavior of liquids. It also provides a useful baseline for comparison with real liquids and allows us to make predictions and calculations about their properties and behavior.

5. Can a real liquid ever behave like a perfect liquid?

No, a real liquid can never behave exactly like a perfect liquid. However, under certain conditions, such as low temperatures or high pressures, a real liquid may exhibit behavior that is close to that of a perfect liquid. This is known as the critical point of a liquid.
