C Increments) and A: P at Each Condition

The junior engineer is tasked with developing a chart of thermodynamic properties of CO2 over specific temperature and pressure ranges to assist in designing a plant to produce pure CO2 gas for use in fracking. Properties to be charted include compressibility factor Z, specific volume V, specific enthalpy H, and specific entropy S as a function of temperature from -100 to 150°C and pressures of 1 to 50 bar. Results are to be submitted in a table and Excel file, with the program set up to calculate the properties for any user-input temperature and pressure values using the Peng-Robinson equation of state.

CLSE 202 PREOS PROJECT (50 points)

due by NOON April 27th, 2015

The company that you have joined as a junior engineer is planning to design a plant for the production of
pure CO2 from effluent gas. (The company is estimating that it can sell the CO2 gas for a novel high pressure
injection process in a hydraulic fracturing fracking project in Wyoming).
Before the planning and design phases can begin, you are informed that your job is to develop a chart of
the thermodynamic properties of CO2 over a temperature of -100oC to 150oC (in 50oC increments) and a
pressure of 1 to 50 bar (at P = 2, 10, 15, 30 and 50 bar). Based on your excellent knowledge from your
Thermo class, you decide to proceed assuming that CO2 obeys the Peng-Robinson equation of state.
In particular, your bosses are interested in the compressibility factor Z and the specific volume of carbon
dioxide V (m3/kmol). In addition, you know that in order to calculate the energy requirements for this
process, it will be necessary to calculate the specific enthalpy H (J/mol) and specific entropy S (J/mol K)
as a function of T and P.
Submit the following (both to be uploaded on Blackboard by deadline):
Construct a table similar to Table 6.4-4 showing the values of Z , V , H and S as a function of T and
P at each condition.
File #1 (pdf file - filename format: PR3-SP15-lastname):
1. Printout of your results spreadsheet
2. Calculations page (either handwritten or Excel printout)
File #2 (Excel program - filename format: PREOS-SP15-lastname):
One sheet should summarize all results in a table.
The program will be checked for consistency, accuracy and usability.
Additional notes to enable checking of your program:
You should also have a section where a user should be able to enter any temperature and pressure and get
the corresponding Z, V, H and S. (if you are not using a VBA program but something like solver/goalseek
to solve the cubic equation, you will need to specify instructions next to the user input).
(NOTE: All data required may be obtained from Sandler. See pages 250 and 251 for computational values
that you can use).
