CHG 3324 Assignment 2 & Answers 1. An ideal gas initially at 600 K and 10 bar undergoes a four-step mechanically reversible cycle in a closed system. In step 1-2, pressure decreases isothermally to 3 bar; in step 2-3, pressure decrease at constant volume to 2 bar; in step 3-4, volume decreases at constant pressure; and in step 4-1, the gas returns adiabatically to its initial state. Take C p = (7/2) R and C v = (5/2) R. (a) Sketch the cycle on a PV diagram. (b) Determine T, P, V for states 1, 2, 3, and 4 where unknown. (c) Calculate q, w, ΔU and ΔH for each step of the cycle. Answer: (a) Sketch the cycle on a PV diagram (Answer omitted) (b) Determine (where unknown) both T and P for states 1, 2, 3, and 4. Point 1: P 1 =10 bar , T 1 =600 K, ࠵? = 4.988×10 -3 m 3 /mol Point 2: P 2 = 3 bar, T 2 = 600 K, ࠵? = 0.017 m 3 /mol Point 3: P 3 =2 bar, ࠵? =409 K, V 3 =0.017 m 3 /mol Point 4: P 4 =2 bar, ࠵? = 378.831 K, V 4 = 0.016 m 3 /mol (c) Calculate Q, W, ΔU and ΔH for each step of the cycle. Step12: ΔU 12 =0 J/mol, ΔH 12 =0 J/mol, w 12 = -6006 J/mol, -q 12 = -6006 J/mol Step23: ࠵?࠵? ଶଷ = -4.157×10 3 J/mol, ࠵?࠵? ଶଷ = -5.82×10 3 J/mol, w 23 =0 J/mol, q 23 =-4.157×10 3 J/mol Step34: ࠵?࠵? ଷସ = - 627 J/mol, ΔH 34 = -877.9 J/mol ࠵?࠵? ଷସ = - 877.9 J/mol, ࠵? ଷସ = 250.8 J/mol Step41: ࠵?࠵? ସଵ = 4.597×10 3 J/mol, ࠵?࠵? ସଵ =6.436×10 3 J/mol q 41 =0 J/mol, w 41 = 4.597×10 3 J/mol
2. Calculate Z and V for ethylene at 25 °C and 12 bar by the following equations: (a) The three item truncated virial equation with the following experimental values of virial coefficients: B = -140 cm 3 mol -1 C= 7200 cm 6 mol -2 (b) The two-item truncated virial equation, with a value of B from the generalized Pitzer correlation. (c) The Peng/Robinson equation. Answer (a) Z=0.929 and V=1919 cm 3 /mol (Iteration required) (b) Z=0.932, V=1925 cm 3 /mol (c) Z=0.92, V=1900.6 cm 3 /mol 3. A 30-m 3 tank contains 14 m 3 of liquid n-butane in equilibrium with its vapor at 25°C. Estimate the mass of n-butane in the tank. The vapor pressure of n-butane at the given temperature is 2.43 bar. Use Pitzer’s and Rackett’s equations when applicable. 1) Calculate the mass of n-butane vapour: m vap =98 kg 2) Calculate the mass of n-butane liquid: m liq =7983 kg 3) The total mass of n-butane in the tank: m =8081 kg 4. A rigid closed vessel with a volume of 200 liters contains 2 kg of n-hexane in gas state at T=100 °C. This vessel is heated to a temperature of 500 °C. The PVT behavior of n-hexane can be well predicted by the virial equation of state if Pitzer’s generalized correlations are used, but we intend to estimate the pressure of the vessel over the temperature range of 100 to 500 °C using the ideal gas equation of state. Calculate the errors of this estimation over the mentioned temperature range at 100 o C and 500 o C, respectively. At 100 o C, error% = 4.7% At 500 o C, error% = 0.625%
