Question:

Starting with Eq. (6.9), show that isotherms in the vapor region of a Mollier (HS) diagram have slopes and curvatures given by:
Here, β is volume expansivity. If the vapor is described by the two-term virial equation in P, Eq. (3.36), what can be said about the signs of these derivatives? Assume that, for normal temperatures, B is negative and dB/dT is positive.

Eq. (6.9)

Eq. (3.36)
