Chapter 5, Problem 5.93P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given formula is to be derived assuming ideal-gas behavior.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas law states that “the volume $\left(V\right)$ occupied by numbers of moles $\left(n\right)$ of any gas has a pressure $\left(P\right)$ at temperature $\left(T\right)$ in Kelvin”. The ideal gas equation in terms of compressibility-factor is,

$PV=zn\text{R}T$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The improved formula derived by the chemical engineering graduate using the generalized compressibility chart is to be stated. The percentage overcharged or undercharged by the plant is to be calculated.
