Pressure and Volume Change of a Gas
Not what you're looking for?
I need some help in answering a question regarding caculations of how a compressed gas becomes a liquid:
10,000 m3 of natural gas as methane is the starting point at 288 Kelvin
We are told that 2 things happen to the gas:
1) The 10000 m3 gas volume is compressed from 101 KPa to 6895 KPa
I know this is PV =nRT but how do I get n for the mols and what do you get for volume?
2) Then, more difficult for me to understand --- when the compressed volume of gas is then cooled to 116 Kelvin (so ~ -250 degrees F) ---- I know this is cryogenic but how would I understand and calculate what the volume of the resultant liquid gas now is?
