Regarding typical processes such as throttling, expansion, and isothermal compression in air separation units, analyze the changes in kinetic energy and internal energy
Thread Content
Which fellow sailor can help me summarize the changes in molecular kinetic energy, molecular potential energy, flow energy, enthalpy, and entropy? The more concise, the better.
1. Throttling: The molecular kinetic energy decreases, while potential energy increases. The flow energy remains unchanged or decreases in most cases; enthalpy decreases, and entropy increases. 2. Expansion: Kinetic energy decreases, potential energy increases, flow energy decreases, enthalpy decreases, and entropy increases. 3. Isothermal compression: kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases; flow energy increases, enthalpy decreases, entropy increases? It’s just my personal opinion; feel free to correct me!
