Explain why the percent error is low or high in each case


Determine the percent error in using the ideal gas model to determine the specific volume of:

(a) Water vapor at 2000 lbf/in^2 , 700°F
(b) Water vapor at 1 lbf/in^2 , 200°F
(c) Nitrogen at 1 atm, 1111 K
(d) Refrigerant 134-a at 200 lbf/in^2, 140°F

Explain why the percent error is low or high in each case.

Find the percent error using 100(v-vgas)/vgas where vgas is specific volume listed in the appropriate tables. If vgas is not available, use the generalized compressibility diagram to determine the value of Z instead of percent error.
