ENGR266 Summer 2019 Q A1[PARTIAL] Left out: Part (c) (9 marks: molar volume of hexane from the ideal gas law and the Pitzer generalised correlation for the second virial coefficient) is left out: the generalised (Pitzer) correlation is not in the current slides or formula sheets (CHECK in the audit).

Answer ALL parts (a) - (d)

Formulas you may need
  • Wet-mixture properties: v=(1−x)vf+xvgv = (1 - x)v_f + x v_g, s=(1−x)sf+xsgs = (1 - x)s_f + x s_g, x=mg/mtotalx = m_g/m_{total} (on the formula sheet)
  • Ideal gas law: pV=nRTpV = nRT (on the formula sheet)
  • Phase rule (triple point: P=3P = 3, C=1C = 1 gives F=0F = 0): P+F=C+2P + F = C + 2 (on the formula sheet)
  1. (a)
    Sketch the temperature-entropy diagram below and label the solid, solid-liquid, solid-vapour, liquid, liquid-vapour and vapour regions. Also indicate the location of the critical point and the triple-point line.

  2. (b)
    Use the data-table provided in Appendix 1 - Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineering: Formula Sheet to calculate the entropy of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluroethane (HFC-134a) at 36∘C36^\circ\mathrm{C} with a volume of 0.0184 m3 kg−10.0184\ \mathrm{m^3\,kg^{-1}}.

  3. (d)
    What are the two key approximations made in the ideal gas law?
