Question: Methane gas is continually fed into a steady - state isothermal compressor at an inlet absolute pressure of 5 0 0 bar and temperature of

Methane gas is continually fed into a steady-state isothermal compressor at
an inlet absolute pressure of 500 bar and temperature of 200K. The gas
exits the compressor at an absolute pressure of 750 bar. The compressibility
factor of methane in this range of conditions obeys the following equation:
Z=a+bP
with the constants taking the values a=0.28 and b=0.00208 bar ?-1.
Calculate the final volume of the gas in cm3 and the molar work of
compression in kJmol.(the answer should be 1.05 kj/mol)
