Answer

a) $T_{2}=597.04K$ b) $T_{2}=460K$ The second result is more accurate.

Work Step by Step

Knowing that: $m_{1}=m_{2}$ $P_{1}=P_{2}$ $V_{2}=1.6V_{1}$ a) Based on the ideal gas equation: $\frac{m_{1}RT_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{m_{2}RT_{2}}{V_{2}}$ Substituting and simplifying: $T_{2}=1.6T_{1}=1.6*(100+273.15)K=597.04K$ b) Using the generalized compressibility chart: $P_{R,1}=\frac{P,1}{P_{cr}}=\frac{10MPa}{4.48MPa}=2.232$ $T_{R,1}=\frac{T,1}{T_{cr}}=\frac{373.15K}{305.5K}=1.221$ From Fig A-15 $Z_{1}=0.61$ $\upsilon_{R,1}=0.35$ $P_{R,2}=P_{R,1}=2.232$ $\upsilon_{R,2}=1.6\upsilon_{R,1}=1.6*0.35=0.56$ From Fig A-15 $Z_{2}=0.83$ $T_{2}=\frac{P_{2}\upsilon_{2}}{Z_{2}R}=\frac{P_{2}\upsilon_{R,2}T_{cr}}{Z_{2}P_{cr}}=\frac{10000kPa*0.56*305.5K}{0.83*4480kPa}=460K$ Based on the charts the second result is more accurate.
