Students have asked these similar questions
a) To bring your methane (CH4) to market you have to compress it to a pressure of 1
MPa. You are producing methane from a reservoir at a rate of 2 kg/sec and a
pressure and temperature of 0.4MPA and 280K. This methane is run through an
adiabatic compressor to bring it up to a pressure of 1 MPa. Using the appropriate
balance equations and the chart given, find the minimum amount of power (work
per time) required to compress the methane.
b) To put methane on a ship for export, the methane needs to be liquefied. This is
done by compressing and cooling a methane stream to P = 10MPa and T = 200K.
It is then run through a choke valve operating adiabatically with an outlet pressure
of P = 0.1 MPa. If the upstream methane stream consists of a mass flow rate of 10
kg/sec, using the appropriate balance equations and the attached chart, find rate at
which liquid methane is produced downstream of the valve.

a. Calculate the correlation coefficient r.
A pressure measuring device has been analyzed and it has been determined that the response
of the device to pressure changes resembles the dynamic behavior of quadratic systems. When
the P inlet pressure of the device was increased from 4lb/in² to 6 lb/in2 by the step effect, the
following graph of the Pm (%) output was obtained.
