QUESTION:

A tank contains \(2 \mathrm{m}^{3}\) of air at \(-93^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and a gage pressure of 1.4 MPa. Determine the mass of air, in kg. The local atmospheric pressure is 1 atm.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

Given data:

The volume of air is \(V = 2\ \rm{m}^{3}\).

The temperature of air is \(V = 2\ \rm{m}^{3}, T = - 93\;{^\circ C} = \left( { - 93 + 273} \right)\ {\rm{K}} = 180\;{\rm{K}}\).

The gage pressure is \({p_g} = 1.4\ {\rm{MPa}} = 14\ {\rm{bar}}\).

The atmospheric pressure is \({p_{\mathrm{atm}}} = 1\ {\rm{atm}} = 1\ {\rm{bar}}\).
