I am interested to Know, how to calculate pressure exerted by ammonia at room temperature. Because in the literature, it is given that at 25°C, exerted pressure is 10.35 bar. How to prove and which equation should I use?
By using ASPEN plus we calculated the pressure in a tank. Working good, but theoretical calculation is some difficult. Because NH3 properties varies with density, ratio of vapor to liquid, temperature and pressure. For example, to check the vapor/liquid density, first we should now the exerted pressure at that temperature.
The (equilibrium) partial pressures of H2O and NH3 over ammonia solutions can be obtainined after Tables 2.21 and 2-23 in: R.H. Perry, D.W. Green, J.O. Maloney (Eds.), "Perry's Chemical Engineers’ Handbook", 7th ed., McGraw-Hill, 1997. Interpolation may be required; preferably as ln(|Pv|) or log10(|Pv|) vs. 1/T (K-1). Molar percentages for H2O above the ammonia solution are also available; after Table 2.22 (ibidem).
