Chapter 3, Problem 3.43P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Show that the second and third virial coefficients implied by the generic cubic equation of state are
Concept Introduction:
Write down the general cubic equation in terms of compressibility factor and for simplicity in terms of density and compare the results with standard expression of compressibility factor in terms of virial coefficients to find relations for both second and third virial coefficients.
Redlich/Kwong equation of state is used to find the values of second and third virial coefficients by formulating the positive constants use in generic cubic equations. So, here we first find the value of
The general cubic equation of state is:

- A steam boiler or steam generator is a device used to produce steam by transferring heat to water. In our case, the combustion chamber is fueled with propane (C3H8) at a flowrate of 50.0 mol/h in an excess air of 50%. Assume that both propane and air are fed at 25ºC and the combustion gases leave the chamber at 200ºC. Pressure can be assumed to be atmospheric.* Determine: 1. The heat obtained assuming complete combustion. Compare the results using elements or compounds 2. The steam flowrate that could be generated if the heat is directed to obtain superheated steam at 2 bar and 160ºC from saturated liquid water at this pressure solvearrow_forwardIn a surface coating operation, a polymer (plastic) dissolved in liquid acetone is sprayed on a solid surface and a stream of hot air is then blown over the surface, vaporizing the acetone and leaving a residual polymer film of uniform thickness. Because environmental standards do not allow discharg- ing acetone into the atmosphere, a proposal to incinerate the stream is to be evaluated. The proposed process uses two parallel columns containing beds of solid particles. The air– acetone stream, which contains acetone and oxygen in stoichiometric proportion, enters one of the beds at 1500 mm Hg absolute at a rate of 1410 standard cubic meters per minute. The particles in the bed have been preheated and transfer heat to the gas. The mixture ignites when its temperature reaches 562 C, and combustion takes place rapidly and adiabatically. The combustion products then pass through and heat the particles in the second bed, cooling down to 350 C in the process.

(b) A student wrote the stoichiometric equation of the combustion of propane to form CO2 and CO as: 2C3H8 + 11O2 → 3CO2 + 3CO + 8H2O According to this equation, CO2 and CO should be in a ratio of 1/1 in the reaction products, but in the product gas of Part (a) they are in a ratio of 24.8/6.12.
