Thermodynamic Analysis of Gas Behavior in Explosive Venting and WorkCalculation: A Case Study on Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide#1A tank containing carbon dioxide at 400 K and 50 bar is vented until the temperature in the tank falls to300 K. Assuming there is no heat transfer between the gas and the tank, find the pressure in the tank at theend of the venting process and the fraction of the initial mass of gas remaining in the tank if carbondioxide obeys the ideal gas and PR equations of state.Constant pressure heat capacity of carbon dioxide:𝐶𝑃(𝐽𝑚𝑜𝑙−1𝐾−1)=22.243+(5.977×10−2)𝑇+(−3.499×10−5)𝑇2+(7.464×10−9)𝑇3You need to first show that the PR entropy departure function is given by(𝑆−𝑆𝐼𝐺)𝑇,𝑃𝑃𝑅=𝑅𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑒(𝑍−𝐵)𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒𝐵=𝑏𝑃𝑅𝑇Answer:The content you've provided is part of a larger thermodynamic problem involving CO₂ in a tankthat is vented adiabatically, and it asks you to derive the Peng-Robinson (PR) entropy departure functionand then solve for the final pressure and mass of the gas remaining in the tank.Answer to the First Part: Derivation of the PR Entropy Departure FunctionThe first part ofyour question asks you to derive the PR entropy departure function, whichinvolves comparing the entropy of a real gas (using the Peng-Robinson equation of state) to theentropy of an ideal gas.Starting point: Ideal Gas Entropy and Real Gas EntropyFor a real gas, the entropy change S−SIGS-S^{IG} can be calculated using the followinggeneral thermodynamic relation:dS=CPdTT−Rln(Z)dS = C_P\frac{dT}{T}-R\ln(Z)Where:•SS is the entropy of the real gas•SIGS^{IG} is the entropy of the ideal gas•ZZ is the compressibility factor•CPC_P is the heat capacity at constant pressure•RR is the universal gas constantFor the ideal gas, the entropy change is:dSIG=CPdTTdS^{IG} = C_P\frac{dT}{T}Therefore, the difference in entropy between the real gas and the ideal gas (i.e., the entropydeparture) is:S−SIG=∫T1T2CPdTT−R∫T1T2ln(Z)dTS-S^{IG} =\int_{T_1}^{T_2} C_P\frac{dT}{T}-R\int_{T_1}^{T_2}\ln(Z) dTThis leads to the general expression for entropy departure:(S−SIG)=−R∫T1T2ln(Z)dT(S-S^{IG}) =-R\int_{T_1}^{T_2}\ln(Z) dTPeng-Robinson Equation of State and Compressibility FactorThe Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR EOS) is used to describe the behavior of real gases:P=RTV−b−aV(V+b)+b(V−b)P =\frac{RT}{V-b}-\frac{a}{V(V + b) + b(V-b)}

Where:•PP is pressure•TT is temperature•VV is molar volume•aa and bb are constants related to the critical properties of the gas (such as criticaltemperature and pressure)•ZZ is the compressibility factor, given by Z=PVRTZ =\frac{PV}{RT}Now, the entropy departure for the PR EOS is related to the compressibility factor ZZ, whichaccounts for the real gas behavior.Through a detailed thermodynamic derivation (involving the Helmholtz potential or using aMaxwell relation), you can arrive at the following expression for the entropy departure function:(S−SIG)T,PPR=Rln(Z−BB)(S-S^{IG})_{T,P}^{PR} = R\ln\left(\frac{Z-B}{B}\right)Where:•B=bPRTB =\frac{bP}{RT} is a function of the pressure and temperature, and•ZZ is the compressibility factor from the PR equation of state.Second Part: Adiabatic Venting ProcessNext, you want to determine the final pressure in the tank after venting and the fraction of theinitial mass of gas remaining in the tank, assuming adiabatic venting.Step 1: Adiabatic Process and Energy ConservationSince the venting process is adiabatic (no heat exchange with the environment), we can use thefirst law of thermodynamicsfor an adiabatic process, which simplifies to:dU+PdV=0dU + PdV = 0Where UU is the internal energy of the gas. For an ideal gas, the internal energy depends only onthe temperature, so:dU=CVdTdU = C_V dTFor an adiabatic process, the equation simplifies further, and we use the relationship betweenpressure and volume for an ideal gas undergoing adiabatic expansion:P1V1γ=P2V2γP_1 V_1^\gamma = P_2 V_2^\gammaWhere:•γ=CPCV\gamma =\frac{C_P}{C_V} is the adiabatic index for CO₂.Since we are given that the temperature drops from 400 K to 300 K, we need to account for thechange in temperature and pressure as the gas is vented from the tank.Step 2: Mass ConservationSince mass is leaving the tank, the total mass mm changes. You can use the ideal gas law torelate the initial and final states of the gas in terms of pressure and temperature:P1V1=n1RT1(initialstate)P_1 V_1 = n_1 R T_1\quad\text{(initial state)}P2V2=n2RT2(finalstate)P_2 V_2 = n_2 R T_2\quad\text{(final state)}Where:•P1,P2P_1, P_2 are the initial and final pressures,•V1,V2V_1, V_2 are the initial and final volumes,•n1,n2n_1, n_2 are the initial and final moles of gas,•T1=400 KT_1 = 400\,\text{K} and T2=300 KT_2 = 300\,\text{K}.The mass of gas remaining is proportional to the ratio of the final volume to the initial volume,given by:mfinalminitial=V2V1\frac{m_{\text{final}}}{m_{\text{initial}}} =\frac{V_2}{V_1}
