Problem 3: Tank Pressure Safety Your supervisor asks you to employ an old tank with a volume of 60 L, but he has concerns regarding its mechanical resistance to pressure for

use in a modified process. The tank was originally rated for a maximum pressure of 36 bar (absolute). It has been established that for a safe operation (no risk of bursting), you are never to exceed half the maximum pressure specification of the tank. The plan is to use this tank to store a maximum of 1000 g of ethane at a maximum temperature of 450 K. Check whether you will be able to use this tank safely (no bursting) or not by performing calculations with the following methods: A) Ideal gas law B) Lee-Kesler charts C) Virial equation
