Question

Problem 70HP

Helium in a steel tank is at 250 kPa, 300 K with a volume of 0.1 m3. It is used to fill a balloon. When the pressure drops to 125 kPa, the flow of helium stops by itself. If all the helium is still at 300 K, how big a balloon is produced?

Solution

Solution 70 HP:

Step 1 of 3:-

Here we have to find how big the balloon will be, if all the helium is still at 300 K.

The helium temperature inside the steel tank is .

The pressure inside the tank is .

The volume of the tank is .

Now the pressure drops to .

The temperature remained same, .
