Equations of States: Single Non-linear Equations

1. Objective:
The activity aims to solve problems involving equations of states.

2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):

The students shall be able to:
2.1 solve algebraic equations, but also size equipment in chemical plant, certainly those pieces of
equipment containing gases.

3. Discussion:

At a specified temperature and pressure, solving equations of state allows us to find the specific
volume of a gaseous mixture of chemicals. It would be impossible to design a chemical plant without using
equations of state. By the knowledge of specific volume, one can determine the size, and thus, cost of the
plant, including the diameter of pipes, the horsepower of compressor and pumps, and the diameter of
distillation towers and chemical reactors. To design a plant without this important information is a very
challenging task.
To calculate the enthalpy and vapor-liquid properties of mixtures, determining the specific volume is
also the first step. Calculating this enthalpy is especially important when making energy balances to reduce
energy use and help the environment.
The ideal gas equation of state , which relates the pressure, temperature and specific volume, is a
familiar equation:

This equation is quite adequate when the pressure is low (such as one atmosphere). However, many
chemical processes take place at very high pressure. For example, ammonia is made at pressures of 220
atmospheres or more. Under these conditions, the ideal gas equation of state may not be a valid
representation of reality.
The first generalization of the ideal gas law was the van der Waal’s equation of state:

where b accounts for excluded volume ( a second molecule cannot use the same space already use by the
first molecule), and a accounts for the interaction force between two molecules. This extension is just a first
step, however, it will not be a good approximation at extremely high temperatures.
The Redlich-Kwong equation of state is a modification of van der Waal’s equation of state:
where

The alpha is particular to Redlich-Kwong equation of state.

The Redlich-Kwong equation of state was modified further by Soave to give the Redlich-Kwong-
Soave equation of state ( called RK-Soave ), which is common one in process simulators:

The parameter alpha is given a different formula,

The ω is the acentric factor, which is a tabulated quantity for many substances. Thus, the value of alpha
can be computed for each chemical and reduced temperature.
The Peng Robinson is another variation:

All these equations can be rearranged into a cubic function of specific volume. The form of the
Redlich-Kwong and Redlich-Kwong-Soave equation of state is

When given the temperature and pressure of a gaseous mixture, and the parameters a and b, then to find
the specific volume one would have to solve the cubic equation of state for specific volume.
For a pure component, the parameters a and b are determined from the critical temperature and
critical pressure, and possibly acentric factor. These are all tabulated quantities, and there are even
correlations for them in terms of vapor pressure and normal boiling point.
For mixtures, it is necessary to combine the values of a and b for each component according to the
composition of the gaseous mixture. Common mixing rules are shown below, in which the ys are the mole
fraction of each chemical in the vapor phase.

or
where

or

Thus, the only difference between the problem for a pure component and that for a mixture is in evaluation
of the parameters a and b.

4. Resources:
Matlab

5. Procedure:
1. a. To determine the value of x that will satisfy the equation:

cos (x) – 2x3 = 0

Issue the command in MATLAB command window:

>> f=‘cos(x) – 2*x^3’

>> x = fzero(f, 0.5)

In the parameter of fzero function, 0.5 is a value of x near to where the function crosses the x-axis.

It may also represent the best guess of the solution.Try other values. Show the results.

b. To create an m-file (filename: yourSurname_le06_p1b), the contents will be

clc

f = ‘cos(x) – 2*x^3’; % suppress the output

 x = fzero(f, 0.5)

c. To create a function file and an m-file (filename: yourSurname_le06_p1c), the contents of the

files will be

For function file:

function f = myfunction (x)

% x is the input and f is the output

f = cos(x) – 2*x^3;

end

For m-file:

clc

x = fzero(‘myfunction’,0.5)

Run the m-file

2. a.To determine the graph of 2sin(x) – x1/2 + 2.5 from 0 to 4π. Issue the command in MATLAB
command window:

>> fplot('2*sin(x) - sqrt(x) + 2.5', [0,4*pi])

Show the results.

Notice that the graph passes the x axis near x=3. To determine the value where the graph

crosses the x axis, issue the command:

>>x1 = fzero('2*sin(x) - sqrt(x) + 2.5',3)

Notice that the graph passes the x axis near x=6. To determine the value where the graph

crosses the x axis, issue the command:

>>x2 = fzero('2*sin(x) - sqrt(x) + 2.5',6)

Notice that the graph passes the x axis near x=6. To determine the value where the graph

crosses the x axis, issue the command:

>> x3 = fzero('2*sin(x) - sqrt(x) + 2.5',9)

 Show the results.

b. Create an m-file for Procedure 2a. Show the contents of the m-file and the results.

c. Create a function and m-files for Procedure 2a. Show the contents of the files and the results.

3. To calculate the volume of 2 moles of CO2 ( a = 3.59 L3-atm/mol2, and b = 0.0427 L/mol) at
temperature of 50oC, and pressure of 6 atm using van der Waal’s equation.

( P + n2a/ V2 ) ( V – nb) = nRT

The contents of m-file ( filename: yourSurname_le06_p3) will be:

global P T n a b R

R=0 08206;

P=6; T = 323.2; n = 2; a = 3.59; b=0.047;

Vest = n*R*T/P;

V = fzero(‘Waals’, Vest)

The contents of function file will be:

function f = Waals(x)

global P T n a b R

f = (P + n^2*a/x^2)*(x-n*b) – n*R*T;

end

In order for the m-file and function files to work correctly, the variables P, T, n, a, b, and R are
declared global. Run the MATLAB program and show the results.

4. To determine the specific volume of n-butane at 500 K and 18 atm using Redlich –Kwong equation
of state,

a. Create a function file with the temperature, pressure, and thermodynamic properties with the
following contents:

function y = specvol(v)

Tc = 425.2; % Data from Perry’s Chemical Handbook/2-138 Critical Constants

pc = 37.5; % Data from Perry’s Chemical Handbook { bar*1x10^5 Pa/bar*1 atm/101,325 Pa}
 % Table B.1 Characteristic Properties of Pure Species / Intro ChE Thermo/Smith/Van

%Ness/Abbot

T = 500;

p = 18;

R = 0.08205;

aRK = 0.42748*(R*Tc)^2/pc

aRK = arK*(Tc/T)^0.5

bRK = 0.08664*(T*Tc/pc)

y = p*v^3 – R*T*v^2 + (aRK – p*bRK ^2 – R*T*bRK) *v –aRK*bRK;

Save the file.

b. To evaluate the value of v , having a guess of v=0.2, in the matlab command window issue the
command;

>>v = fzero(‘specvol’,0.2)

Show the results.

c. Us e the command fsolve, instead of fzero in 4b. Show the results.

5. To determine the molar volume for gaseous ammonia at a pressure P = 56 atm and a temperature
T = 450 K using the van der Waals equation of state for the following reduced pressures: P r =
0.0503144, 1, 2, 4, 10, and 20.

a. The function file contains the following:

function x = waalsvol(vol)

global press a b R T

x = press*vol^3 – press*b*vol^2 – R*T*vol^2 + a*vol – a*b;

b. The m-file contains the following:

7. Conclusion:
I therefore conclude that MATLAB can be used to compute for the different things that can be computed in
the Van Der Waals Equation, the Equations of State, and the different equations that can be used in our
degree, Chemical Engineering. We can use our knowledge in MATLAB in order to compute for the different
values that a problem will require us to answer.
