Adiabatic cooling

Storyboard

As the air rises it reaches areas of lower pressure so it begins to decompress. As this happens at a relatively high speed the gas must perform the necessary work with the energy it has without being able to absorb it from the outside. This leads to a cooling called decompression or adiabatic cooling.

Adiabatic Curves

Image

The three adiabatic curves are shown below:

* pressure vs volume
* pressure vs temperature
* volume vs temperature

To compare the adiabatic curves are shown next to their corresponding curves from the equation of ideal cases.

Note the large difference between the volume vs. temperature curve and the same relationship in the isobaric case. This means that only in the case that the air expands under adiabatic conditions does a temperature reduction occur. In the isobaric case the opposite occurs.

Adiabatic process

Note

When a gas expands rapidly, the water vapor molecules do not have enough time to exchange energy with the surroundings, so no heat is transferred, that is, the variation of heat ($\delta Q$) remains constant:

$\delta Q = 0$



The processes that are carried out under this condition are called adiabatic processes [1,2].

The expansion of the gas requires the system to do work or generate the differential inexact labour ($\delta W$). However, the energy needed for this cannot come from the internal energy ($U$), so it must be obtained from heat. As a result, the temperature of the system decreases, leading to a decrease in the variation of heat ($\delta Q$).

A typical example of this process is the formation of clouds. When air rises through convection, it expands, performs work, and cools down. The moisture in the air condenses, forming clouds.

Conversely, when work is done on the system, positive work the differential inexact labour ($\delta W$) is done. However, since the internal energy ($U$) cannot increase, the thermal energy in the variation of heat ($\delta Q$) increases, leading to an increase in the system's temperature.

A common example of this process is using a pump. If we try to inflate something rapidly, we do work on the system adiabatically, leading to an increase in ERROR:5202

Equations

The pressure ($p$), the volume ($V$), the absolute temperature ($T$), and the number of moles ($n$) are related through the following physical laws:

• Boyle's law
equation=582

• Charles's law
equation=583

• Gay-Lussac's law
equation=581

• Avogadro's law
equation=580

These laws can be expressed in a more general form as:

$\displaystyle\frac{pV}{nT}=cte$



This general relationship states that the product of pressure and volume divided by the number of moles and temperature remains constant:

equation

When the pressure ($p$) behaves as an ideal gas, satisfying the volume ($V$), the number of moles ($n$), the absolute temperature ($T$), and the universal gas constant ($R_C$), the ideal gas equation:

equation=3183

and the definition of the molar concentration ($c_m$):

equation=4878

lead to the following relationship:

equation

Since with the variation of the internal energy ($dU$), the variation of heat ($\delta Q$), and the differential inexact labour ($\delta W$) we have:

$dU = \delta Q - \delta W = 0$



We can replace the variation of heat ($\delta Q$) with the infinitesimal version of the equation for the heat supplied to liquid or solid ($\Delta Q$) involving the specific heat at constant pressure ($c_p$), the mass ($M$), and the temperature variation ($\Delta T$) in the case of constant pressure, as shown below:

equation=11116

Similarly, we can replace the differential inexact labour ($\delta W$) with the pressure ($p$) and the volume Variation ($\Delta V$):

equation=3468

If we equate both expressions, we obtain the equation:

$c_pMdT=-pdV$



Which, with the inclusion of the volume ($V$), the universal gas constant ($R_C$), and ERROR:6679, leads to:

equation=3183

And with the mass ($M$) and the molar Mass ($M_m$):

equation=4854

Finally, in the limit $\Delta T \rightarrow dt$, we obtain the relationship:

equation

In the adiabatic case, for ERROR:5177,0 and the volume ($V$) with the universal gas constant ($R_C$), the molar Mass ($M_m$), the specific heat at constant pressure ($c_p$), the temperature variation ($dT$), and the volume Variation ($\Delta V$), we have the following equation:

equation=4861

By introducing the adiabatic index ($\kappa$), this equation can be expressed as:

equation=4864

This allows us to write the equation as:

$\displaystyle\frac{dT}{T}=-(\kappa - 1)\displaystyle\frac{dV}{V}$



If we integrate this expression between the volume in state i ($V_i$) and the volume in state f ($V_f$), as well as between the temperature in initial state ($T_i$) and the temperature in final state ($T_f$), we obtain:

equation

With the values of the volume in state i ($V_i$), the volume in state f ($V_f$), the temperature in initial state ($T_i$), the temperature in final state ($T_f$), and the adiabatic index ($\kappa$), the following relationship is established:

equation=4865

By utilizing the gas equation with the parameters the pressure ($p$), the volume ($V$), the number of moles ($n$), the universal gas constant ($R_C$), and the absolute temperature ($T$), we derive the following expression:

equation=3183

This equation describes how, in an adiabatic process varying from an initial situation to a final one in terms of the pressure ($p$) and the absolute temperature ($T$), it relates to the pressure in initial state ($p_i$) and the pressure in final state ($p_f$) as follows:

equation.

With the values the volume in state i ($V_i$), the volume in state f ($V_f$), the temperature in initial state ($T_i$), the temperature in final state ($T_f$), and the adiabatic index ($\kappa$), the following relationship is presented:

equation=4865

Using the gas equation with the parameters the pressure ($p$), the volume ($V$), the number of moles ($n$), the universal gas constant ($R_C$), and the absolute temperature ($T$), we obtain the following expression:

equation=3183

This equation describes how, in an adiabatic process that varies from an initial situation to a final one in terms of the pressure ($p$) and the volume ($V$), it is related to the pressure in initial state ($p_i$) and the pressure in final state ($p_f$) as follows:

In the adiabatic case it is given that the universal gas constant ($R_C$), the molar Mass ($M_m$), and the specific heat of gases at constant volume ($c_V$) vary in the temperature variation ($dT$) and ERROR:5223< /var> according to:

kyon

Using the universal gas constant ($R_C$), the molar Mass ($M_m$), the specific heat of gases at constant volume ($c_V$), the temperature variation ($dT$), and the volume Variation ($\Delta V$), the adiabatic index ($\kappa$) can be defined as follows:

The pressure ($p$), the volume ($V$), the absolute temperature ($T$), and the number of moles ($n$) are related by the following equation:

kyon

where the universal gas constant ($R_C$) has a value of 8.314 J/K mol.

The molar concentration ($c_m$) corresponds to ERROR:9339,0 divided by the volume ($V$) of a gas and is calculated as follows:

kyon

The pressure ($p$) can be calculated from the molar concentration ($c_m$) using the absolute temperature ($T$), and the universal gas constant ($R_C$) as follows:

kyon

From an initial state (i) with the volume in state i ($V_i$) and the temperature in initial state ($T_i$) it goes to a final state (f) with the volume in state f ($V_f$) and the temperature in final state ($T_f$) according to:

kyon

From an initial state (i) with the pressure in initial state ($p_i$) and the temperature in initial state ($T_i$) it goes to a final state (f) with the pressure in final state ($p_f$) and the temperature in final state ($T_f$) according to:

kyon

From an initial state (i) with the pressure in final state ($p_f$) and the volume in state i ($V_i$) it goes to a final state (f) with the pressure in final state ($p_f$) and the volume in state f ($V_f$) according to:

kyon

The three adiabatic curves are shown below:

* pressure vs volume
* pressure vs temperature

To compare the adiabatic curves are shown next to their corresponding curves from the equation of ideal cases.

Note the large difference between the volume vs. temperature curve and the same relationship in the isobaric case. This means that only in the case that the air expands under adiabatic conditions does a temperature reduction occur. In the isobaric case the opposite occurs.
