Steam Engine

Sliding valve

Steam enters chamber fromleft, leaving from right both valves closed, piston moves to the right

Steam enters from right,leaving from leftpiston moves back to the left

Simple steam power plant cycle

Heat in

Work out

Condensing back to iquidform for easy transportation

Heat in

Work out

Heat out to cooling water

Work inby pump

(a) P-v diagram: Along the constant temperature line, increasing vapor pressure will lead to higher density (lower specific volume) due to compression. After it reaches the saturation pressure at that temperature, the vapor will condense into liquid while the pressure remains constant until all vapor condense into liquid.

(b) T-v diagram: Along the constant pressure line, increasing liquid temperaturewill lead to lower density (higher specific volume) due to thermal expansion.At the saturation temperature, the liquid will vaporize into gaseous form at a constantpressure until all liquid vaporize.

Melting/freezing

Substances that contract on freezingSubstances that

expandon freezing ex. Water.Higher pressure makesit more difficult to freeze, thus requiring lower freezing temperature. The reverse is true for substances that contract on freezing

Critical point

Vaporization/condensation

Sublimation Triple point: all three phasescoexist in equilibrium

Critical point: A limiting state above which there is no clear distinction betweenliquid and vapor phases.
