After
being driven, thetemperature rises to 75 degree F. Determine the final
gage pressure assuming the volumeremains constant. (Electrical
Engineering Board Exam Problem)
Solution:
Since volume is constant, use Charles Law on constant volume
processes.
P1/T1=P2/T2
Note: P and T should be absolute.
P2=48.99 psia
P2g=48.99-14.7
P2g=34.29 psig
1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
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.
Since PV = nRT
PV/(nT) = R
PV/T=constant
P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2
(740)(400)/(18+273)=(760)V2/(0+273)
V2=365.3 cc

6 6 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
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)

10. A gas initially at 15 psia and 2 ft undergoes a process to 90 psia and 0.60 ft, 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 ft
Cv = 2.44 Btu/ lb . R
P2 = 90 psia
V2 = 0.60 ft
Change in H = 15.5 Btu
Solution:
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
R = Cp - Cv and k = Cp/Cv
0.277 = Cp - Cv
Part (b):
Part (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
