0809 Sem 2 Test 1

The document discusses the compressibility factor of gases and how it represents deviation from ideal gas behavior. It states that all gases have the same compressibility factor at the same reduced temperature and pressure. It also explains that reduced pressure is pressure normalized to critical pressure and reduced temperature is temperature normalized to critical temperature. Finally, it provides an example problem calculating the specific volume of steam using the ideal gas relation, compressibility chart, and steam tables, determining the errors involved in each approach.

Compressibility Factor

3-78C It represent the deviation from ideal gas behavior. The further away it is from 1, the more the gas deviates from
ideal gas behavior.

3-79C All gases have the same compressibility factor Z at the same reduced temperature and pressure.

3-80C Reduced pressure is the pressure normalized with respect to the critical pressure; and reduced temperature is the
temperature normalized with respect to the critical temperature.

3-81 The specific volume of steam is to be determined using the ideal gas relation, the compressibility chart, and the steam
tables. The errors involved in the first two approaches are also to be determined.
Properties The gas constant, the critical pressure, and the critical temperature of water are, from Table A-1,
R = 0.4615 kPam3/kgK, Tcr = 647.1 K, Pcr = 22.06 MPa
Analysis (a) From the ideal gas equation of state,

RT (0.4615 kPa ! m 3 /kg ! K)(623.15 K)


v 0.01917 m 3 /kg (67.0% error)
P 15,000 kPa

(b) From the compressibility chart (Fig. A-15),


P 10 MPa $ H 2O
PR 0.453 "
Pcr 22.06 MPa " 15 MPa
#Z 0.65
T 673 K " 350%C
TR 1.04
Tcr 647.1 K "&

Thus,

v Zv ideal (0.65)(0.01917 m 3 /kg) 0.01246 m 3 /kg (8.5% error)

(c) From the superheated steam table (Table A-6),


P 15 MPa
T 350%C 'v 0.01148 m 3 /kg
