6^th assignment: Chemical equilibrium in adiabatic systems(deadline: Oct. 14)

       Equilibrium conditions derived in Chapter 2-8. of the Callen book should be derived but in an adiabatic system instead of isolated.

8^th assignment: Callen 2.3-5 a, b, c.  (deadline: Oct. 21)
 

9^th assignment: Efficiency of a Rankine engine (deadline: Oct. 21)

       Calculate the thermal efficiency of a Rankine engine cycle using the potentials  U, H, and F, and the variables P, V, T and S. Hint: replace step 4 (compression of the liquid to the boiler) with two other  steps: 4a, adiabatic compression, and 4b, isobaric heating.
 

10^th assignment: (deadline: Oct. 28)

       Show that (dH/dP)_T = V - T(dV/dT)_P , (where d is for partial derivation!!)

       Derive an expression for (dH/dP)_T for an ideal gas, AND for a van der Waals gas. Calculate its value for the van der Waals argon gas at 298 K temperature and 10 atm pressure assuming b/V_m << 1. What is the change in enthalpy of argon gas  when the pressure is increased isothermally to 11 atm?

11^th assignment: (deadline: Oct. 28)

       The Joule coefficient "mu" is defined as
                                                                         "mu" = (dT/dV)_U .
              (again, d is for partial derivation!!)

       Show that
                                "mu"C_V = P - ("alpha"T) / "kappa"_T .
