Answer to Question #279093 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Neilmar

Question

There are required at least 20 kg of steam at 600 bar, 750°C to conduct an ex periment; a 140-L heavy duty tank is available for storage. Predict if this is adequate storage capacity using (a) the ideal gas theory, (b) the compressibility factor, (c) the van der Waa!'s equation, (d) the Mollier chart, Item B 16 (SI).

Answer 1

$V=\frac{mRT}{pM}=157~l>140~l=V_0,$

this is not an adequate storage capacity.
