Question 3 Peng-Robinson equation given in equation (3) is one of the Equations of States (EOS) that relates specific volume 1 (V) of gases to temperature and pressure The constants a, b are determined as follows: where is the temperature in is the pressure in atm, is the specific molar volume in L/kgmol, is the molar gas constant in is the acentric factor, and are critical temperature and critical pressure, in , and , respectively, and is reduced temperature. (a) For n-hexane at and , perform the first three iterations to estimate the specific molar volume using bisection method, taking the boundary of the solution to be in the range 50 to 200 . Take atm, , and (b) Perform the first three iterations to estimate the specific volume for the same case in (a) using regula-falsi method, taking the boundary of the solution to be in the range 50 to 200 . (c) Perform the first three iterations to estimate the specific volume for the same case in (a) using Newton method, taking the guess for the solution to be 200 .

(a) Bisection Method: We'll use the bisection method to estimate the specific molar volume.
Iteration 1:
Lower boundary (V_L) = 50 L/kgmol Upper boundary (V_U) = 200 L/kgmol Calculate the values of a and b using the given equations:          

In this step we are calculating the values using method
