Thanks all for the pointers, mugsliens I've completed a subject in fluid mechanics that only looked at incompressible fluids so would I be correct in saying that major (friction) and minor (inlet/outlet exspansions) head losses relate smilarly in compressible fluids? I will receive data...

This is not homework, but a problem from work. If 4 tanks with fixed 90m^3 volume contained Nitrogen gas at 701.3 kPag were purged to 131.3 kPag through a 100mm pipe how would I work out the velocity/volumetric flow rate of the output? Thanks

Ok, so Xsolvent=molsolvent/(molsolute+molsolvent), we are looking to find molsolute (I2) so we can multiply by the RFM (253.8 g.mol-1) to get the mass needed. 1L of chloroform has mass 1490g = 12.482mol Xsolvent=(135.7kPa-13.3kPa)/135.7kPa=.902 Xsolvent=12.482/(12.482+x)=.902...

Hey, Here is the solution I got, its different to your answer though... Psolution=xsolvent.Psolvent so Psolution=135.7-13.3 kpa (the new pressure of the solution) now in 1L =1000cm3 there is 1490 grams = 12.482 moles so re-arrange the equation and you get=> x = (12.482 -...
