IDEAL GAS, LAWS AND ITS PROPERTIES
40psi. After usage, the pressure reading falls to 2Spsi, Determine the final weiht (Ib)
of the tank after the operation if the temparature in the tank remains constant at 77°F.
o 7. A reservoir contains 2. 83ft of CO} at T60psia and 66°F An evacuated tank is filled
from the reservoir to a pressure of 300psia and a temperature of 40°F while the pressure
of the reservoir decreases to 600psia and the temperature to 50°F. What is the volume
(fe) of the tank?
8. Ina hot air balloon launch, it was known that the material used in the construction
ameunts to 200kg and that the loading capacity of the cage was 250kg. If the hot air
balloon has to travel in air where the ambient temperature and pressure was 25°C and
101.325kPaa, determine the minimum diameter (meters) of the balloon (assume to be
spherical) needed to course the air ifthe setting temperature of hot air inside the balloon
is 80°C. Assume pressure inside the balloon to be atmospheric.
9. Determine the change in specific enthalpy (ki/kg-K) of gaseous mixture of
21%gasoline and 79%4methane (by volume) if the change in temperature is 60°C. Let
ratio of specific heat for the mixture isk = 1.45
10. Consider the figure below. Each tank has a volume of 108°. Conditions on each tank
is tabulated as follow:
Tank No. Content Pressure ‘Temperature k
1 Octane 80psia 160°F 135
127
2 Butane 64peia 124°F
