2. The viscosity of water (μ) is related to its temperature via the following
equation:
1057.51
Ln μ = -11.0318 + T +214.624

μ is in lbm/ft.s, and T is in O F.

Plot variation of water viscosity as temperature is varied from 60 190 O F.

4. The ideal gas law is expressed as:
PV =nRT

The van der Waals equation for real gases is expressed by the following relation:

( )

n a
P+ 2 ( V −ab )=nRT

Plot (on the same Figure) the variation of gas pressure (bar) versus temperature
change from 100 K to 500 K, given the following data:

Moles, n = 2 mol

Volume, V = 1 L

a = 5.536 L2bar/mol2

b = 0.03049 L/mol

R = 0.08314472 Lbar/K mol
