Answer

The second result. $T_{2}=1112K$

Work Step by Step

Knowing that: $P_{1}=P_{2}$ $V_{2}=1.8V_{1}$ $m_{1}=m_{2}$ a) Based on the ideal gas equation: $\frac{m_{1}RT_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{m_{2}RT_{2}}{V_{2}}$ Simplifying and substituting: $T_{2}=1.8T_{1}=1.8*(300K)=540K$ b) Using the generalized compressibility chart: $P_{R,1}=\frac{P_{1}}{P_{cr}}=\frac{10MPa}{4.64MPa}=2.16$ $T_{R,1}=\frac{T_{1}}{T_{cr}}=\frac{300K}{191.1K}=1.57$ From Fig A-15 $Z_{1}=0.86$ $\upsilon_{R,1}=0.63$ $P_{R,2}=2.16$ $\upsilon_{R,2}=1.8*0.63=1.134$ From Fig A-15 $Z_{2}=0.42$ $T_{2}=\frac{P_{2}\upsilon_{2}}{Z_{2}R}=\frac{P_{2}\upsilon_{R,2}T_{cr}}{Z_{2}P_{cr}}=\frac{10000kPa*1.134*191.1K}{0.42*4640kPa}=1112K$ Based on the charts, the second temperature is the more accurate.
