AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving the Tds equation, specifically how to convert units from kPa to kJ/kg. The equation Tds = dh - vdP is rearranged to express the change in enthalpy in terms of entropy and temperature, along with an integral result in kPa. A key issue raised is the need for proper unit conversion to ensure all terms are homogeneous and the final answer is in kJ/kg. Participants are encouraged to share their attempts to identify any mistakes in their calculations. Accurate unit conversion is essential for solving thermodynamic equations correctly.

Tds=dh-vdP


The Attempt at a Solution


i had to rearrange and use an integral for vdP to solve for enthalpy so I had the change in enthalpy is equal to the change in ehtropy multiplied by temprature plus a number in kPa from the integral.
Question is how do I add the number in Kilopascals to the number in Kilojoules/hilogram. I need a unit conversion of some sort cause the answer needs tobe in KJ/Kg

how about posting your attempt so that we can see your approach. More than likely you made a mistake since all units should be homogeneous.
