The properties of fluids can be defined in two ways, either by the use of tabulated data (e.g. steam
tables) or by state equations (e.g. perfect gas law). Both of these approaches have been developed by
observation of the behaviour of fluids when they undergo simple processes. It has also been possible to
model the behaviour of such fluids from ‘molecular’ models, e.g. the kinetic theory of gases. A number
of models which describe the relat ionships between properties for single component fluids, or constant
composition mixtures will be developed here.
8.1 IDEAL GAS LAW
The ideal and perfect gas laws can be developed from a number of ...
