Carbon dioxide (CP = 38 J/mol-K) at 1.5 MPa and 25C is expanded to 0.1 MPa through
Question:
Carbon dioxide (CP = 38 J/mol-K) at 1.5 MPa and 25°C is expanded to 0.1 MPa through a throttle valve. Determine the temperature of the expanded gas. Work the problem as follows:
(a) Assuming the ideal gas law
(b) Using the Peng-Robinson equation
(c) Using a CO2 chart, noting that the triple point of CO2 is at -56.6°C and 5.2 bar, and has a heat of fusion, ΔHfus, of 43.2 cal/g.
