This experiment had been done on 9th October 2013 in the thermodynamics laboratory.
The aim of this experiment is to determine the properties of measurement/PVT. The equipment
that had been used is called Perfect Gas Expansion and by using this kind of equipment, all 5
experiments were conducted successfully. For the first experiment, we conducted to show the
Boyles Law and to determine the relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas. In
this experiment, the experiment is done for three times from pressurized chamber to vacuum
chamber, from atmospheric chamber to pressurized chamber and increase the gas of both
chamber .The next experiment is to determine the Gay-Lussac Law by done repeatedly for three
times to get the average value of the temperature at pressurize and depressurize vessels. The
graph of pressure versus temperature is plotted after getting the total average value. In the third
experiment, is to determine the isentropic expansion process to demonstrate the isentropic
expansion of gases, where pressure and temperature of pressurized chamber is taken before and
after expansion. After that, for the fourth experiment is to determine the ratio of heat volume by
done with getting before and after temperature and pressure of expansion. Only the pressurised
chamber and compressive pump are used during this experiment. The last experiment is to
determine the ratio of heat capacity .In these experiment ,only the pressurised chamber is used by
taken value of pressure and temperature before, intermediate and final .These experiments have
been successfully done and all the data which are about the reading before and after the setting
are recorded into the data .
2.0 INTRODUCTION:
The perfect Gas Expansion is related to First Law of Thermodynamics, Second Law of
Thermodynamics and relationship between P-V-T. Due to expansion and compression of gasses
is one of the most important and very useful in our daily day. This is because due to related to
combustion of engines, refrigerators, heat pumps , hot air balloons , gas storage ,f fire
extinguisher and a host of other practical applications .Besides that, it is also problems that
related to the macroscopic reasoning of thermodynamics to microscopic picture of the kinetic
molecular theory. In this experiment of measurement properties or PVT deals with ideal gas. An
ideal gas is a gas that obeys the relationship PV=nRT. In this definition P and T are the absolute
pressure and absolute temperature respectively and R is the particular gas constant which is R=
8.3145 J/mol.K and n is the number of moles of the gas filling the container. The molecular
weight of the gas influences the particular gas constant. In this experiment, where students will
able to familiarize with several fundamental thermodynamics processes can be manipulate by
monitored the digital indicator on the control panel. Therefore, this apparatus should not harm
students. However, students should take care about their safety during the experiment. The most
important thing that during students opens the valve should be slowly when releasing the gas
inside the vessel to atmosphere because due to high pressure gas inside the vessel that being
released by the valve that can be harm to students.
The equipment that used is perfect gas expansion apparatus, TH11 as such like below:

4.0 THEORY:
As shown on the figure 4.1,the apparatus used in the left side is the pressurized chamber
meanwhile on the right side is the vacuum chamber and they are separated by the valve. Let
assume the apparatus is in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings, means that the temperature
is same inside and out.
Figure 4.1
This is concept used in the perfect gas expansion where what we going to observe is the changes
in temperature and pressure when the valve is going to open. When the valve is open, the gas
molecule will rush it from the pressure chamber into the vacuum chamber until the pressure,
number of moles gas and temperature of both chambers are equilibrium. That why when monitor
the result after the valve have open both of temperature almost same. The ideal gas law (PV=n
RT ) is apply before ,during and after the expansion, and that the volume V will be double during
the process.
Boyles law experiment and determination of volume ratio
Boyle's Law states that the product of the pressure and volume for a gas is a constant for
a fixed amount of gas at a fixed temperature. Written in mathematical terms, this law is
P x V = constant
A common use for this law is to predict on how a change in pressure will alter the volume
of gas or vice versa. Therefore, for initial values of p 1 and V1, which change to final values of
p2 and V2, the following equation applies (David ,2000)
sources:- (Ygraph,2007)
From figure 4.2, consider the box full of moving gas molecules, the particles have the same
energy (temperature) throughout. As the box gets smaller, they have a smaller distance to travel
before they collide with the walls, and thus the time between collisions gets increasingly smaller.
In a given amount of time the partials hit the walls more, which results in a greater amount of
pressure. The amount of moles is clearly constant, as we are not adding or subtracting particles
from the piston. Another way of looking at this is that as the pressure increases, it drives the
particles together. These compacted particles now occupy less volume. In order to compare a gas
where either pressure or volume vary, we can combine the equations P1V1= k and P2V2=
k. Because k is constant for both values of pressure and volume,
P1V1=P2V2
Thus, Boyles law states that for the pressure and volume of a gas, when one value increases
the other decreases, as long as temperature and number of moles remain constant. Boyle's
law is summarized by the equation
PV=k
Where P is the pressure of the molecules on the container, V is the volume of the container,
and k is a constant. The value of k always stays the same so that P and V vary appropriately.
For example, if pressure increases, k must remain constant and thus volume will decrease.
This is consistent with the predictions of Boyle's law.( Davis)
sources:-( (Brown,2000-2012)
The graph shows how the pressure and volume vary according to Boyles Law at two difference
temperatures. Then it can be conclude that, the pressure and volume gas is indirectly related
which is if the pressure of the chamber is increase then the volume of the gas inside the chamber
also decrease.
Besides, it also involves the kinetic energy. If we decrease the volume of a gas, thus
means that the same numbers of gas particles are now going to come in contact with each other
and with the sides of the container much more often. The pressure is also measure the frequency
of collision of gas particle with each other and with the side of the container they are in. Thus if
the volume decrease, the pressure will naturally increase. The opposite is true if the volume of
the gas is increased, the gas particles collide less frequently and the pressure will decrease.At
lower temperatures the volume and pressure values are lower. Any volume or pressure units can
be used as long as both P's and both V's have the same units. The particle theory and simple
arithmetical values is used to explain Boyles Law.
When the volume of gas is compress into half, the collision of the gas will increase and
thus the pressure will increase double compare to the origin value.
But if the volume of the gas is doubled or increase in the factor of two, the collision drop
and decrease thus the pressure will decrease into half compare to the origin.
Where,
P is the pressure of the gas
T is the temperature of the gas (measured in Kelvin).
kG is a appropriate proportionality constant
But, Gay-Lussac law also said that it might be dangerous to heat a gas in a closed
container. This is because due to increase pressure can cause the container to explode. Thus, the
equation will be change for initial values of p 1 and T1, which change to final values of p2 and T2,
the following equation applies
During calculation, all unit scale of temperature must in Kelvin scale of temperature are
= oC + 273.15).
T (K
sources:- (Robert)
From the figure 4.4, the graph shows how the pressure and temperature vary according to
Gay-Lussac Law. Based on Gay-Lussac it stated that the pressure exerted on a containers sides
by an ideal is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas. This follows from the kinetic
theory which stated that by increasing the temperature of the gas, the molecules speed increase
meaning an increased amount of collisions with the container walls. Thus, when an increase in
temperature , increases also collision frequently and energy ,so that raising the temperature
should raise the pressure if the volume is not changed.
For a real gas a relationship may be defined between the heat capacity, which is dependent on the
equation of state, although it is more complex than that for a perfect gas. The heat capacity ratio
may then be determined experimentally using a two-step process.
or
dU = -pdV
At constant volume the heat capacity relates the change in temperature to the change in internal
energy
dU = CvdT
Substituting in to equation x,
CvdT = -pdV
Substituting in the ideal gas law and then integrating gives

9.0 DISCUSSION:
For the first experiment is Boyles Law where according to Boyles law, P 1V1 = P2V2 by
calculating using the data collected during experiment, it shown that the P 1V1 value is close to
the value of P2V2 after calculated the data . Thus this proved that there are some errors occur
during conduct the experiment. Before conduct the experiment, we had been inform that the
valve V1 is function but almost damaged. Thus, this is might due to parallax error due to a little
leaking of air. Hence, we can say that the experiment to prove Boyles law is successful.
From the ideal gas equation, PV=RT the volume is calculated for each of the pressure of
the experiment 1. In first condition, the pressurized to the atmospheric the value of volume are
V1=15.27L then expend V2 =17.38L. In the second condition, atmospheric to vacuum the volume
are V1 =41.31L then expend to V2 =27.82L. For the last condition pressurized to vacuum, the
reading is taken separately for pressure chamber and vacuum chamber. In pressure chamber, V 1=
15.42L before expansion while V2= 19.52L after expansion.
In the experiment 2, according to Gay-Lussac law where the pressure is proportional to
temperature. From the plotted graph, the pressure is proportional to temperature where it follows
the Gay-Lussac Law. As the pressure is increased the temperature also increases in a constant
volume. In the graph, the depressurized is line has a higher temperature as the pressure increase
than pressurize line in the graph that show in the result.
For the third experiment that is isentropic experiment where the isentropic expansion
process happen went both reversible and adiabatic, there will be no heat transferred within the
system, and no energy transformation occurs.
Given that,
k
pV =constant
10. 0 CONCLUSION:
In the conclusion , the experiment is conducted to determining the properties measurement/PVT
according to based on Boyles Law, Gay-Lussac Law, heat capacity equation and isentropic
expansion process.Besides that , using this experiment which can determining the properties of
gases under few condition by using the Boyles Law ,Gay-Lussacs law , equation of heat
capacity and isentropic expansion process is successfully done.Even during conduct the
experiment we make some parallax error but we still can manage to get the result to prove taht
the Boyles law that is when pressure decrease the volume will increase and vice versa.In fact
,the result shown that the Gay-Lussac law is where pressure is proportional to temperature.In a
nutshell, this experiment is successfully done and the objective of the experiment is achieved.
11.0 RECOMMENDATIONS:
During conduct the experiment , there are precautions should be taken such as each
experiment should do the start-up and shut-down experiment first in order to make sure there are
no gas are left in the chamber. Thus, all the valve must be opened to remove all gasses in the
chamber .Besides that, to avoid the parallax error during taking the reading of pressure and
temperature by repeating the experiment three time to get the average and more accurate
result.Open and close the valve carefully according to the procedure given.Make sure that during
open the valve is becarefull due to high pressure is release.The experiment should be conducted
at the stable and unshaken place. All the data must be recorded into a table.
