Chemical Engineering Material Balances Tutorial

This tutorial focuses on material balances for single-phase systems in chemical engineering. It includes problems related to estimating compressibility factors, calculating gas densities under various conditions, determining maximum permissible temperatures for gases in tanks, and estimating volumetric flow rates in compressors. The exercises require the application of the generalized compressibility chart and the law of corresponding states.

(Material Balances for Single-phase Systems)

1) Use the generalized compressibility chart to estimate z for helium at -200 oC and 350
atm.

2) A certain gas has a molecular weight of 30.0, a critical temperature of 310 K, and a
critical pressure of 4.5 MPa. Calculate the density in kg/m3 of this gas at 465 K and 9.0
MPa (a) if the gas is ideal and (b) if the gas obeys the law of corresponding states.

3) One hundred kg of CO2 is contained in a 1m3 tank. The safety limit of the tank is 11
MPa. Use the compressibility chart to estimate the maximum permissible gas
temperature.

4) A stream of oxygen enters a compressor at 298 K and 1.00 atm at a rate of 127 m3/h
and is compressed to 358 K and 1000 atm. Estimate the volumetric flow rate of
compressed O2, using the compressibility-factor equation of state.
