HW #1, WB3 - Molar Volume of a Real Gas Mixture - 12 pts

An equimolar mixture of methane and propane is discharged from a compressor at 5500 kPa and 90oC at the rate of 1.4 kg/s. If the velocity in the discharge line is not to exceed 30 m/s, what is the minimum diameter of the discharge line ?

When using the SRK equation to solve this problem, should we use the one from chapter 3 in our textbook? I ask because it is not in a form that is very familiar and I don't really understand this book's version of it.

I strongly suggest you use the form in the supplement from class 3 on Mon, 1/8.
