Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Finished parts (a) and (b).
Part (c)
Starting:
[tex]\frac{d}{dT} = \left(\frac{\partial}{\partial T}\right)_P + \left(\frac{dp}{dT}\right)\left(\frac{\partial}{\partial p}\right)_T[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{d}{dT}(\frac{L}{T}) = (\frac{\partial \Delta S}{\partial T})_P + (\frac{dP}{dT})(\frac{\partial \Delta S}{\partial P})_T [/tex]
Where ##\Delta_S = S_v - S_l## and using maxwell relation from ##dG = -sdT + VdP##:
[tex]= \frac{\Delta C_p}{T} - (\frac{dp}{dT})\left(\frac{\partial}{\partial T}(V_v - V_l)\right)_P[/tex]
Using ideal gas equation ##PV = RT## and Clausius-Clapeyron: ##\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{L}{TV_v} = \frac{LP}{RT^2}##:
[tex]= \frac{\Delta C_p}{T} - (\frac{R}{P})(\frac{LP}{RT^2})[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{\Delta C_P}{T} - \frac{L}{T^2}[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex] C_{P,liq} + T\frac{d}{dT}(\frac{L}{T}) = C_{P,vap} - \frac{L}{T_{vap}}[/tex]
Condition for condensation: ##(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T})_S < 0 ## (Gradient must be less than zero for cooling effect).
Now what remains is to show that ##(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T})_S = C_{P,vap} - \frac{L}{T_{vap}}##
