(a) Determine the specific volume of nitrogen gas at 8.5 MPa and 139 K based on the generalized compressibility chart and compare this result with the experimental value of 0.002002 m³/kg to (b).
(b) Determine the error involved.
(R = 0.2968 kPa.m³/kg.K, Tcr=126.2 K, Pcr=3.39 MPa)

Using the compressibility chart, we can see that the compressibility factor of Nitrogen at this state is equal to 0.52. Using this, we can find out the specific volume of nitrogen to be

Z = PV/RT

0.52 = (8500000Pa)V/(296.8J/kg⋅K)(139K)

V = 0.52×296.87×139/8500000

V = 0.002524m³/kg

%Error = V(ideal)-V(actual)/V(actual)

%Error = 0.002524-0.002002/0.002002

%Error = 0.2609

Error for this compared with the actual value is

%Error = V(ideal)-V(actual)/V(actual)

%Error = (0.004853-0.002002)/0.004853

%Error = 0.2851
