How LPG gets liquefied by elevating the pressure?If the
pressure is increased the temperature also increases,then
how LPG is in liquid form?

Answer Posted / subhasish

We need to recall the joule thompson effect.
The Joule-Thomson coeffcient JT is defned as derivative of
the temperature T with respect to the pressure p at
constant enthalpy h.

coeff = (dT/dP) at const h

The curve is an inverted U shaped type and when the slope
i.e. co-eff is +ve then temp of gas increases with increase
in pressure and this is true for LPG also (Boiling point~-
38 degC at 1 atm pressure). It implies, LPG can be
liquefied by increasing pressure as the dew point also
increase. That's why even at room temp, by increasing
pressure LPG can be liquefied.

We are having proplem with the persperation smell in ETT/ECHO room in our cardiac hospital.The 2 Ton of AC is not conditioning the environment. We have to use exhaust fan to through out of the room bad air. Could anyone suggest how to coup with this effectively using chemical engineering. Any permanent solution to neutralise the bad smell.The Air freshners are not doing enough instead making a bad odour.
