Solution gas drive oil reservoirs experience greater recovery efficiency than undersaturated reservoirs during primary recovery this problem explores some aspects of

irs during primary recovery. This problem explores some aspects of this behavior. Consider the expansion of methane from 300 bars to 50 bars at a constant temperature of 40 C (313 K). Methane obeys the following equation of state V =(RT/P)+C+(D/T) where C = 31 cm3/mol, D = -693cm3K/mole, and R = 83.14bar cm3/mole K. Note that the units of energy are bar-cm3/mole in this problem. Report your answer in bar-cm3/mole (a) What is the change in enthalpy during the expansion (b) What is the change in internal energy? (c) What is the heat removed? (d) How much work does the system do during the expansion?
