    1. The oxygen tank contains 19.08kg of oxygen at a pressure of 597kPa and temperature of 28°C. 2. The pressure gauge would read 972.61kPa for the rigid air tank containing 5kg of air at 25°C in a 400L volume. 3. When the two tanks are connected and reach thermal equilibrium at 20°C, the total volume is 3.21m3 and the equilibrium pressure is 284.12kPa.

    1. The pressure gage on a 2.5m^3 oxygen tank reads 500kPa.

    Determine the amount of oxygen


    in the tank if the temperature is 28 C and the atmospheric pressure is 97 kPa.

    GIVEN:

    Pgage =
    500 kPa

    Patm = 97
    kPa

    T = 28 C

    V = 2.5
    m^3

    Roxygen =
    0.2598
    REQUIRED:
    kJ/kg.K
    m = mass of oxygen = ?

    SOLUTION:

     Pabs = Patm + Pgage


    Pabs = 97 kPa + 500 kPa
    Pabs = 597 kPa

     pV = mRT
    m =pV/RT
    m = 597 kPa(2.5 m^3)/(0.2598 kJ/kg.K)(28+273.15K)
    m = 19.08 kg
    2. A 400L rigid tank contains 5kg of air at 25 C. Determine the reading on the pressure gage if
    the atmospheric pressure is 97kPa.

    GIVEN:

    V = 400L

    T = 25 C

    m = 5kg

    Patm = 97kPa

    R = 0.287 kPa.m^3/kg.K

    REQUIRED:

    Pgage = ?

    SOLUTION:

     P = mRT/V
    P = (5kg)( 0.287 kPa.m^3/kg.K)(25+273.15K)/(400L)(1m^3/1000L)
    P = 1069.61kPa

     Pgage = Pabs – Patm


    Pgage = 1069.61kPa – 97kPa
    Pgage = 972.61kPa
    3. A 1m^3 tank containing air at 25 C and 500kPa is connected through a valve to another tank
    containing 5kg of air at 35 C and 200kPa. 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:

    V1 = 1m^3; T1
    = 25 C; P1 =
    500kPa

    m2 = 5kg; T2
    = 35 C; P2 =
    200kPa

    Tsurr = 20 C
    REQUIRED:
    Rair = 0.287
    kJ/kmol.K
    V2 = volume of tank 2 = ?

    Pt = final equilibrium pressure = ?

    SOLUTION:

     m1 = P1V1/RT1
    m1 = (500kPa)( 1m^3)/( 0.287 kJ/kmol.K)(298.15K)
    m1 = 5.84kg

     V2 = m2RT2/P2
    V2 = (5kg)( 0.287 kJ/kmol.K)(308.15K)/ 200kPa
    V2 = 2.21m^3

     Vt = V1 + V2
    Vt = 1m^3 + 2.21m^3
    Vt = 3.21m^3

     mt = m1 + m2
    mt = 5.84kg + 5kg
    mt = 10.84kg

     Pt = mtRTsurr/Vt
    Pt = (10.84kg)( 0.287 kJ/kmol.K)(293.15K)/ 3.21m^3
    Pt = 284.12kPa
    4. The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the
    air temperature is 25 C, the pressure gage reads 210kPa. If the volume of the tire is
    0.025m^3, determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to
    50 C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original
    value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure is 100kPa.
    GIVEN:

    T1 = 25 C; Pgage = 210kPa

    T2 = 50 C

    V = 0.025m^3

    Patm = 100kPa

    Rair = 0.287 kJ/kmol.K

    REQUIRED:

    Pt = final pressure

    mt = mass total of air

    SOLUTION:

     P1 = Pgage + Patm
    P1 = 210kPa + 100kPa
    P1 = 310kPa

     P1/T1 = P2/T2
    P2 = P1(T2)/T1
    P2 = 310kPa(323.15K)/298.15K
    P2 = 336kPa

     Pt = P2 – P1
    Pt = 336kPa – 310kPa
    Pt = 26kPa

     m1 = P1V/RT

    m1 = 310kPa(0.025m^3)/(0.287 kJ/kmol.K)(323.15K)

    m1 = 0.0836kg

     m2 = P2V/RT
    m2 = 336kPa(0.025m^3)/( 0.287 kJ/kmol.K)(323.15K)
    m2 = 0.0906kg

     mt = m2 – m1
    mt = 0.0906kg - 0.0836kg
    mt = 0.007 kg
