How to calculate isentropic temperature exponent and isentropic valume exponent for real gases? Kv Kt

I am using LEE KESLER PLOCKER method (LKO EOS)
I have found some calculation in mr. Ludtke handbook. I also read another book " thermophysical Properties of Fluids by Marc J. Assael" to verify my Mtlab code I use exaplme in above book on page 100.But my calculation doesn't fit with the resuils !
The example ask to find isobaric heat capacity for mixture of (0.766 C3H8+ 0.234 CH4)
For a) T=310k P=1.7Mpa
b) T=420 k P=13.7 Mpa
Book results: case a Cp=2.2 kj/(kg k.
Case b Cp=3.6 KJ/KG/K
MY CALCULATION a: [z=0.8056] CPa=2.2
b: [Z=0.6159] Cpb=3.42
Densities are (a,b) : 818.73 and 6.3694E+3
Lee kealer plocker method use simple and reference fluid. It also use binary itraction parameters Kij. For this case they are 1.113
Why my calculation are incorrect ?!

The last time I looked up the API Technical Databook (many years ago), there was a numerical method for computing real gas Cp. See if this helps
 
Hi,
Your calculation for densities is wrong, Z are correct using Peng Robinson EOS.
Za=0.8029
Ro a = 30.83 kg/m3
Zb=0.6449
Ro b =228.32 kg/m3
Cpa = 77.720 j/mol-k
Cpb =127.829 j/mol-k
Mw= 37.532 g/mol

if you solve with Lee Kesler method results will be quite close to those reported in the book,
I agree with Pierreick and gergeverghese, your compressibility factors / densities are wrong,

I attach the solution calculated in Excel with Prode Properties (see prode.com) for your review
