The compression factor of a fluid is defined as the ratio PV/NkT; the deviation of this quantity from 1 is a measure of how much the fluid differs from an ideal gas. Calculate the compression factor of a van der Waals fluid at the critical point, and note that the value is independent of a and b. (Experimental values of compression factors at the critical point are generally lower than the van der Waals prediction, for instance, 0.227 for H20, 0.274 for C02,0.305 for He.)

Basic Chemical Calculations (Process and Variables)

A basic chemical calculation involves the application of the law of chemical proportions to various reactions and material and energy balance calculations on various chemical processes. Basic chemical calculation helps students analyze various chemical processes and develop problem-solving skills. The chemical manufacturing processes are divided into unit operations involving physical changes of material and unit processes involving the chemical transformation of materials. For instance, fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer are unit operations, and oxidation, reduction, and pyrolysis are unit processes.
