PART 2. PROBLEM SOLVING

1. A certain gas at 14.78 PSI and 22 deg Celsius whose volume is 3 cubic meter are compressed into
a storage vessel at 0.31 cu.m capacity. Before admission, the storage vessel contained the gas a
t a pressure and temperature of 135.6 KPa and 27 deg Celsius; after admission the pressure has
increased to 1150.8 PSI. What should be the final temperature of the gas in the vessel in Kelvin?
2. A transportation company specializes in the shipmen of pressurized gaseous materials. An order
received of 150 gallons of a particular gas at STP (32 def Fahrenheit and 1 atm). What minimum
volume tank is necessary to transport the gas at 80 deg Fahreheit and a maximum pressure of 8
atm?
