Question 1

5.0 kmol of propane (C3H8) at 30C is placed in a 2.0 m3 cylinder. Determine the gauge pressure (in atm)
in the cylinder using
(a) Ideal Gas Law with the assumption C3H8 is an ideal gas and the atmospheric pressure as 1
atm.
(4 marks)
(b) Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state with the assumption C3H8 is a non-ideal gas and
the atmospheric pressure as 1 atm.
(16 marks)

Question 2

A vapor mixture of 40 mol% n-Pentane (n-C5H12) and n-Hexane (n-C6H14) is in equilibrium with its liquid
mixture at 30°C. Given the gas-liquid mixture exhibits ideal solution behavior. Determine the system
pressure and the composition of the liquid mixture.

Question 3

Air at 60% relative humidity is cooled isobarically at 1 atm absolute from 92.5C to 25C. Estimate the dew
point and degrees of superheat of the air at 92.5C.
