The Redlich-Kwong equation of state is given by RT v(v+b)vT where R = the universal gas constant [= 0.518 kJ/(kg K)], T = absolute temperature (K), p = absolute pressure (kPa), and v = the volume of a kg of gas (m^3/kg). The parameters a and b are calculated by a = 0.427 T25 where p_c = 4600 kPa and T_c = 191 K. As a chemical engineer, you are asked to determine the amount of methane fuel that can be held in a 3-m^3 tank at a temperature of -40 Celsius degrees with a pressure of 65,000 kPa. Use a root-locating method of your choice to calculate v and then determine the mass of methane contained in the tank. b = 0.0866RT.
