Q1
From (60) of the summary for Week 6
𝐻𝑅 𝑑 ln 𝛼(𝑇𝑟 ) (A)
=𝑍−1+[ − 1] 𝑞𝐼
𝑅𝑇 𝑑 ln 𝑇𝑟
We need to find Z and other terms on the RHS of (A) to evaluate the residual enthalpy.
The compressibility factor Z is calculated from the EoS (Peng-Robinson) in this case.
From (58) of summary for Week 5, Z is a root of the following cubic equation.

From the Rackett equation
(1−𝑇𝑟 )2/7
𝑉 𝑠𝑎𝑡 = 𝑉𝑐 𝑍𝑐
To find 𝑉𝑐 we will use conditions at the critical point
𝑇 293.15
The reduced temperature 𝑇𝑟 = = = 0.7226
𝑇𝑐 405.7
So,
