Converting back to gage pressure,

P2g=48.99-14.7

P2g=34.29 psig

2. If 100 ft^3 of atmospheric air at zero Farenheit temperature are


compressed to a volume of 1 ft^3 at a temperature of 200 deg Farenheit,
what will be the pressure of the air in psi?

answer: 2109 psia

1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

since given yung mga ffg:


P1 = 14.7 psia since atmospheric pressure of air ung cnbi
V1 = 100 ft^3
T1 = 0 + 460 = 460 kelvin para maging absolute temperature
V2 = 1 ft^3
T2 = 200 + 460 = 660 kelvin absolute temp. na yan

then,
P2 = (P1V1T2)/(T1V2)
P2 = (14.7 psia x100 ft^3 x 660 k)/(460 k x 1 ft^3)
P2 = 2109.13 psia

Here is the method.

Convert temperatures (T1=85degF and T2=70degF) to centigrade, then


add 273 to convert to kelvin. Use the kelvin temperatures throughout.

Since PV = nRT
PV/(nT) = R

Providing we are consistent with units and have T in kelvin:


P1V1/(n1T1) = P2V2/(n2T2) where
P is pressure in psia
V is volume in ft^3
n is weight (proportional to mass and moles) in lb
T is in kelvin

The volume is fixed - it remains 10ft^3 throughout.

For the discharge process:


P1V1/(n1T1) = P2V2/(n2T2)
500x10/(25xT1) = 300x10/(n2xT2)
5/(25xT1) = 3/(n2xT2)
This allows the weight of gas, n2, to be found.

For the final stage:


P1V1/(n1T1) = P2V2/(n2T2)
300x10/(n2xT2) = P2x10/(n2xT1)
300/T2 = P2/T1

This allowed P2 to be found.

3. Four hundred cubic centimeters of gas at a pressure of 740 mmHg


absolute andtemperature of 18 degree C undergoes a process until the
pressure and temperaturebecomes 760 mmHg absolute and 0 degrees
C respectively. Calculate the final volume of the gas. (Electrical
Engineering Board Exam Problem)

Since all the parameters (temperature, pressure and volume) changes,


use combined gas law

PV/T=constant

P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2

(740)(400)/(18+273)=(760)V2/(0+273)
V2=365.3 cc

m^3 tank contains helium at 400K and is evacuated from atmospheric pressure
to a pressure of 740 mm Hg vacuum. Determine (A) mass of helium remaining in
the tank, ( mass of helium pump out, � the temperature of the helium falls
to 10 degrees Centigrade. What is the pressure in kPa?

Answer: A 0.01925 kg
B 0.7123 kg
C 1.886 kPa

mass 1 = P1V1/R1T1
P(abs) = P(atm) - P(vac) = 20 mm Hg = 2666 pascal
R= 2077.67 pa. m^3/kg. K
mass of helium remaining in the tank

original mass of helium:

m= PV/RT = 101325.024*6/2077.67*400 = .7315 kg

A. m1= P(abs) * V / R * T = 2666 * 6 / 2077.67* 400 = .01925 kg

Mass of helium pump out:

B. m2 = mass original - m1 = .71237 kg


C. R and volume is still the same after the temperature is changed.

T3 = 10 C + 273 = 283 K

p3 = nRT3/V
p3 = .01925 kg x (2077.67 pa. m^3/kg. K) x (283 K) / (6m^3)
p3 = 1886.43779 Pa
p3 = 1.886 kPa

Lift Load = Buoyancy Force = (Weight of air inside balloon if it were
filled with outside dry air) - (Weight of actual gas inside balloon)

Weight of gas inside balloon = (density of gas) (acceleration of gravity at


earth's surface) (balloon volume)

Density of gas = (absolute pressure)(Molecular Weight of Gas) /


[(Specific Gas Constant)(absolute temperature)]

Balloon Volume = (4/3) π (balloon radius)^3

10. A gas initially at 15 psia and 2 ft³ undergoes a process to 90 psia and 0.60 ft³, during which the
enthalpy increases by 15.5 Btu; Cv = 2.44 Btu/ lb . °R. Determine (a) Change in U; (b) Cp and (c) R

Given:

P1 = 15 psia
V1 = 2 ft³
Cv = 2.44 Btu/ lb . °R
P2 = 90 psia
V2 = 0.60 ft³
Change in H = 15.5 Btu

Solution:

a. Change in H = Change in U + P2V2 – P1V1


15.5 Btu =Change in U +[ { 90 lb/in² x 0.60 ft³ - 15 lb/in² x 2 ft³}{ 12² in²/1² ft² x 1 Btu/778 lbf –
ft}]

Change in U = 11.05 Btu

b. k = Change in H/Change in U
= 15.5/11.05
= 1.40

Cp = kCv
= 1.40 ( 2.44 Btu/lb . °R)
= 3.42 Btu/lb . °R

c. Cp = Cv + R
R = Cp – Cv
= 3.42 – 2.44

= 0.98 Btu/lb . °R x (778 lbf – ft/1 Btu)

= 762.4 lbf – ft/lbm - °R

11. For a certain gas R=0.277 kJ/ kg.K and k=1.384 (a) What are the value of
Cp and Cv ? (b) What mass of this gas would occupy a volume of 0.425 cu m
at 517.11 kPa and 26.7degree Celsius (c) If 31.65 kJ are transferred to this
gas at constant volume in (b) , what are the resulting temperature and
pressure?
Part (a):

R = Cp - Cv and k = Cp/Cv

You just have to solve two equations and two unknowns:


0.277 = Cp - Cv

1.384 = Cp/Cv => Cp = 1.384*Cv

0.277 = 1.384Cv - Cv = 0.384Cv

Cv = 0.277/0.384 = 0.7214 = 0.721 kJ/kgK

Cp = 1.384*0.7214 = 0.9984 = 0.998 kJ/kgK

Part (b):

Use ideal gas law PV =mRT

m = PV/RT = (517.11 kPa)*(0.425 m^3) / (0.277 kJ/kgK)*(273.15+26.7)


= 2.646 kg = 2.65 kg

Hint: T must be in Kelvins. Take the centigrade temperature and add


273.15 to it.

Part (c)

Q =m*Cv*deltaT = 31.65 kJ = (2.646 kg)*(0.7214 kJ/kgK)*(delta T)

delta T = 16.58 degrees.

This means the temperature increased by 16.58 degrees.

T(final) = 26.7 degrees C + 16.58 degrees = 43.28 degrees C = 43.3


degrees C

(When you are dealing with deltaTs, the difference is the same for
Kelvin or Centigrade.)

For the final pressure, use the Ideal Gas Law Again
P =mRT/V = (2.646 kg)*(0.277 kJ/kgK)*(273.15+43.28 degrees)/(0.425
m^3) = 545.7 = 546 kP
