The Van der Waals equation of state is for real gases that do not behave as ideal gases. This equation is a cubic equation of state, meaning that it gives 3 volume roots. One root will be close to the value of the constant b liquid root) and the other (vapor root) can best be estimated using the ideal gas value of RT/P. A third root is meaningless. P= RT/V-b - a/V^2 where b= RTc/8Pc and a= 27R^2Tc^2/64Pc^2

For methane at 100°C and 15 bar, determine the gas root of Volume using the Van der Waals EOS. You will need to use goalseek function to determine the root. For convenience, the Tc of methane is 190.6 K and Pc = 46.1 bar. Calculate the volume value in liters.

To design a steam turbine to produce 12,000 hp power. a engineer comsiders using a steady state stean low st 1160fr and engineer considers using a steady state steam flow at 1160°r and 450 psia to drive this steam turbine. the exhaust of the steam is cooled by the lake (vacuum). heat losing to the surroundings is measured at a rate of 555.55 btu/s. (a) sketch the system with the given conditions. (b) neglecting kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit, determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, (ft'/hr). must clearly show unit conversions at crtical terms.
