Hydro-Nitrogen Accumulators (Krištafor,Z., Golub,M., Matanović,D.,<br />

The temperature of nitrogen in the process of compression<br />

or expansion is not constant, since there is a heat exchange<br />

between nitrogen and oil and surrounding air or sea water.<br />

Actual measurements confirm that nitrogen behavior in the<br />

mentioned conditions correspond to the polytrophic change of state,<br />

as defined by Zeuner’s relation:<br />

p V n =const.<br />

This is an exponential function and the exponent is obtained by<br />

logarithm polytrophic equation for initial and final state, where<br />

subscript “i” is for initial state and “f” for final state.<br />

n=(log p i – log p f )/(log V f – log V i )<br />

Applying actual values of initial and final pressures and volumes, the<br />

critical values of polytrophic exponent n=1,32 and n=1,58 are<br />

obtained.
