Question:

A natural gas stream (essentially pure methane) is available at 310 K and 14 bar. The gas is to be compressed to 345 bar before transmission by underground pipeline. If the compression is carried out adiabatically and reversibly, determine the compressor outlet temperature and the work of compression per mole of methane. You may assume that methane obeys the Peng-Robinson equation of state. See Appendix A.II for heat capacity data.
