Chapter 5, Problem 5.81

(choose chapter or problem)

A system has been devised to store acetonitrile safely at high pressures and temperatures. The acetonitrile is contained in a 0.2-ft3 tank maintained at 4500 psia and 550F. This tank is placed inside a second tank whose volume, excluding the volume of the first tank, is 2 ft3. Nitrogen at 10.0 atm and 5500 P is contained in the second tank. Use the compressibility chart to estimate the final system pressure (atm) if the first tank ruptures and the final system temperature is 550F. The critical temperature and pressure of acetonitrile are 548 K and 47.7 atm, respectively
