Answer to Problem 95P
The final pressure of the methane treating it as a Benedict-Webb-Rubin gas is
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression to obtain the specific molar volume of the methane
Here, universal gas constant is
Write the Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state for state 2.
Here, Constants that appear in the Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state are
Conclusion:
Substitute
Refer the Table 3-4, “Constants that appear in the Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state”, obtain the following properties for methane
Substitute
Thus, the final pressure of the methane treating it as a Benedict-Webb-Rubin gas is
