Chapter 6, Problem 6.83P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Determine the minimum diameter of discharge line in a compressor if an equimolar mixture is discharged from it.

Concept Introduction:

The diameter is found out by area in most of the cases, considering circular discharge line hence the area of circle is

  $A=\frac{\pi }{4}{D}^2$

Also calculation of area requires flow rate, by using given information we can easily conclude that it is volumetric flow rate hence we require volume for it and for volume of real gases

  $V=\frac{ZRT}{PM}$

Where

  $Z=Z^0+\omega Z^1$
