Problem 1.

5 [Difficulty: 1]

Given: Dimensions of a room

Find: Mass of air

Solution:
p
Basic equation: ρ=
Rair⋅ T

ft⋅ lbf
Given or available data p = 14.7psi T = ( 59 + 460)R Rair = 53.33 ⋅
lbm⋅ R

V = 10⋅ ft × 10⋅ ft × 8⋅ ft V = 800⋅ ft

p lbm slug kg
Then ρ = ρ = 0.076⋅ ρ = 0.00238⋅ ρ = 1.23
Rair⋅ T 3 3 3
ft ft m

M = ρ⋅ V M = 61.2⋅ lbm M = 1.90⋅ slug M = 27.8kg
