Chapter 3, Problem 3.68P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure in a vessel containing carbon dioxide should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Pressure developed vessel containing carbon dioxide is calculated using virial coefficients i.e. Reduced forms of pressure and temperature.

The formula for reduced temperature and pressure is as follows:

  $T_{\text{r}}\text{=}\frac{T}{T_{\text{c}}}$

Here, $T_C$ is critical temperature.

Also, the pressure can be calculated as:

  $P=\frac{RT}{V-\left(B_o+\omega B_{1}R\frac{T_c}{P_c}\right)}$

Here, R is gas constant, T is temperature, V is volume, $T_C$ is critical temperature, $\omega$ isacentric factor and $P_C$ is critical pressure.
