Why lateral strain occurs when volume is not conserved on applying longitudinal stress?

To elaborate on the answer I gave, the state of stress for the deformed rod is $$\sigma_z=E\epsilon_z$$$$\sigma_r=0$$$$\sigma_{\theta}=0$$and the strains are $$\epsilon_z=\frac{\sigma_z}{E}$$ $$\epsil …

Why lateral strain occurs when volume is not conserved on applying longitudinal stress?

In your example, the isotropic part $\sigma _I$ is $$\sigma_I=\frac{(\sigma_z+\sigma_r+\sigma_{\theta})}{3}$$ and is responsible for volume changes. … The deviatoric part of the stress state is given by $\sigma_z-\sigma_I$, $\sigma_r-\sigma_I$, and $\sigma_{\theta}-\sigma_I$; the deviatoric part of the stress tensor is responsible for a volume-preserving …

Enthalpy of a Van der Waals gas continuation

If you know the initial and final states of the gas, it is easier to get the enthalpy change for a VDW gas by working with the internal energy change $\Delta U$ than $\Delta H$. This is because the i …

Enthalpy of a Van der Waals gas continuation

Your equation is wrong. It should read $$dH=\left(V-T\left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T}\right)_P\right)dP$$ You may have to integrate this numerically because of the non-linearity with of the VDW eq …

2 examples of molar volumes of binary mixtures

This is how to get the equation for the tangent line. The starting equations are $$[V_m]_{x=x_0}=(1-x_0)[V_A]_{x=x_0}+x_0[V_B]_{x=x_0}$$and$$\left[\frac{dV_m}{dx}\right]_{x=x_0}=[V_B]_{x=x_0}-[V_A]_{ …

2 examples of molar volumes of binary mixtures

For an ideal solution, the molar volume of the solution is a weighted average (in terms of mole fractions) of the molar volumes of the pure components at the same temperature and pressure as the mixture … : $$V^{ID}=V^0_Ax_A+V^0_Bx_B=V^0_A+(V^0_B-V^0_A)x_B$$The excess molar volume is equal to the actual molar volume minus the ideal molar volume: $$V^{EX}=V_m-V^{ID}$$or$$V_m=V^{ID}+V^{EX}$$ …

Thermodynamics - Unsteady flow energy equation

open-system (flow) version of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics, the work done by the system is subdivided into two parts: 1. the shaft work W and 2. the work to force fluid into and out of the control volume … In fact, wishin the control volume P and v are often not even spatially uniform. …

Question regarding using $dU=nC_vdT$

So, for an ideal gas, it doesn't matter whether the volume is varying or not, and we can always write for an ideal gas in that $$dU=nC_vdT\tag{ideal gas}$$So, for an adiabatic process of an ideal gas, …

Why temperature increases with increase in volume?

In order to get the gas volume to increase at constant pressure, you need to add heat, which raises the temperature (average kinetic energy) of the gas. …
