The fagacity of a gas approaches the gas pressure as a limiting value if the gas is indefinitely rarefied. In other words, the escaping tendency of a perfect gas is equal to its gas pressure. ‘That these two conditions are sufficient to define a property of every substance which is not a mathematical, fictitious quantity, but a real physical quantity, capable of experimental determination in every case, must now be shown. It is obvious from the above conditions that in fhe approximation being nearer the nearer the vapor is to a perfect gas. When the Introduction to Chemical Engineering Institute of Process Engineering 5.3 Fugacity (Previous Exam Question) Consider a pure substance, whose vapor pressure is PY (T) = 10 bar at T = 300K. ‘The compressibility factor Z in the gas phase is given by: 2D(T) Pt 221. where D{T)=007T +3.0 [cm* bar“! mol with/mit T'in [K] Please give an answer to the following points: 1a) Which phases can be present at P= 5 bar, P= 10 bar and P= 15 bat? b) Caleulate the fugacity at P = 5 bar. 6) Calculate the fagacity at P = 15 bar. £) Draw these (f,P) points on Figure 1 and use them to plot the fugacity as a function of pressure along the whole range of P from 0 bar to 35 bar.
