Solution for problem one (P1) below:
ME 311 Thermodynamics I 1 Homework 5 Problem from Cengel and Boles 8th Edition
P1) Carbon dioxide flows steadily in a pipe at 3000 kPa, 31 °C, and at a rate of 1.5 kg/s.
Determine the density of carbon dioxide using
(a) the ideal gas law
and
(b) the compressibility chart.
.
The value of z i.e compressibilty factor is taken from compressibilty chart below.
On x axis Pr is plotted . and the black curve shows the value or Tr.
so Pr=.405 and Tr = .99 intersects at .80 .
