Calculating Internal Energy of Solid CO2: How to Obtain Thermodynamic Values?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of obtaining thermodynamic values for solid CO2, particularly below 212K, as common databases like REFPROP and EES lack this data. CO2 sublimates at approximately 195K at one atmosphere, raising questions about calculating internal energy and entropy in its solid state. Users express confusion over the absence of solid-state properties in available resources, despite having access to specific heat capacity and latent heat data for phase changes. The need for reliable data on solid CO2 thermodynamics is emphasized, highlighting a gap in current thermodynamic databases. Understanding these properties is crucial for accurate thermodynamic analysis involving CO2 in its solid form.

I am doing a simple thermodynamic analysis. Couldn't get thermodynamic values (such as internal energy, exergy, and so on) from common data base of CO2. I looked it up in REFPROP(By NIST) and EES. None of them have data below 212K. At one atmosphere CO2 sublime at about 195K.
Could anyone explain this to me? How to calculate the internal energy and entropy when CO2 is in solid stae?
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! I felt that it is kind strange that the properties of solid state are not included.

Thread ''splain this hydrostatic paradox in tiny words'

This is (ostensibly) not a trick shot or video*. The scale was balanced before any blue water was added. 550mL of blue water was added to the left side. only 60mL of water needed to be added to the right side to re-balance the scale. Apparently, the scale will balance when the height of the two columns is equal. The left side of the scale only feels the weight of the column above the lower "tail" of the funnel (i.e. 60mL). So where does the weight of the remaining (550-60=) 490mL go...

Thread 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Coulomb gauge implies instantaneous radial electric field?'

Scalar and vector potentials in Coulomb gauge Assume Coulomb gauge so that $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A}=0.\tag{1}$$ The scalar potential ##\phi## is described by Poisson's equation $$\nabla^2 \phi = -\frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}\tag{2}$$ which has the instantaneous general solution given by $$\phi(\mathbf{r},t)=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\int \frac{\rho(\mathbf{r}',t)}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r}'|}d^3r'.\tag{3}$$ In Coulomb gauge the vector potential ##\mathbf{A}## is given by...
