Example 2.20: Estimate density of liquid benzene at 290 °K and 100 atm. The following data apply: Tc = 561.65 °K, Pc = 47.7 atm, ω = 0.205, ρc = 0.304 g/cm3, ρsat = 0.8826 g/cm3,
M = 78.11, R = 82.06 (atm·cm3)/(mol·°K), Psat = 0.0849 atm
Solution
Critical compressibility factor of benzene, Zc
Reduced temperature, Tr = 0.516.
Temperature function f1(Tr) (Table 2.1) = 0.0282.
