THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF GASES: EQUATIONS DERIVED FROM THE BEATTIE- BRIDGEMAN EQUATION OF STATE ASSUMING VARIABLE SPECIFIC HEATS
The Beattle-Bridgeman equation of state was used to develop the equations of several of the thermodynamic properties and flow process correction factors for gases. The increase in the specific heats due to the vibration of diatomic molecules was included by assuming the molecules to be perfect harmonic oscillators. Thermodynamic and flow process equations are theoretically developed. The particular flow processes investigated were isentropic expansion and flow through normal shock wnves. The calculation procedures for isentropic expansions and flow through normal shock waves are included in the appendix. Also included are the results of several calculations in which air was used as the media of flow. Graphs of the thermodynamic properties and Beattle-Bridgemnn correction factors for air are included to provide a general pictuce of the effect of temperature and pressure. (auth)
