Given:
V= 2.5m3
Pgage=500 kPa
T=28o + 273=301 K
Patm=97 kPa
O2=?
Sol'n:
a. Patm=Pabs – Pgage
Pabs=Patm + Pgage
=97 kPa + 500 kPa
Pabs=597 kPa
b. PV=mRT
m=PV/RT
m= (597 kPa x 2.5m3) / (0.2598 kj.kg-k x 301 K)
m= 19.08 Kg
2. A 400-L rigid tank contains 5 kg air at 25o C. Determine the reading on the
pressure gage if the atmospheric pressure is 97 kPa.
Given:
T= 25o C
Pgage=97 kPa
m =5 kg
V =400-L
Sol'n:
P=mRT/V
= (5 kg x 0.287 kPa.m3/kg.K x 298 K) / (0.4 m3)
P= 1069.1 kpa
3. A 1-m3 tank containing air at 25°C and 500 kPa is connected through a
valve to another tank containing 5 kg of air at 35°C and 200 kPa. Now the
valve is opened, and the entire system is allowed to reach thermal
equilibrium with the surroundings, which are at 20°C. Determine the volume
of the second tank and the final equilibrium pressure of air.
Given:
TANK A
TA = 25 oC = 298 K
PA = 500 kPa
VA = 1 m3
TANK B
TB = 35 oC = 308 K
Tsurr = 20 oC = 293 K
mB = 5 kg
PB = 200 kPa
Sol'n:
Given:
T1= 25o C + 273= 298 K
V= 0.025 m3
T2= 50o C + 273= 323 K
Pgage1= 210 kPa
mabs= m1-m3
Pabs= ?
Sol'n:
a. Pabs1= Pgage1 + Patm1
= 210 kPa + 100 kPa
Pabs1= 310 kPa
m1=P1v / RT1
= (310 kPa x 0.025 m3) / (0.287 kj.kg-k x 298 K)
m1= 0.09062 kg
b. P2 =mRT2 / V
= (0.09062 kg x 0.287 kj.kg-k x 323 K) / (0.025 m3)
P2= 336.0 kPa
mabs= m2 – m1
= 0.09062 kg – 0.08360 kg
mabs= 0.007018 kg
