Redo Problem 4.45 if ethylene is described by the Peng-Robinson equation of state.


Problem 4.45

The second virial coefficient B can be obtained from experimental PVT data or from an equation of state from 

PV - (PY-1) B = lim V P-0

a. Show that for the Redlich-Kwong equation 

P = RT V-b a TV (V+b)

the second virial coefficient is 

B=b- a RT3/2

b. Compute the second virial coefficient of n-pentane as a function of temperature from the RedlichKwong equation of state.
