Problem 83HP

A cylindrical gas tank 1 m long, with an inside diameter of 20 cm, is evacuated and then filled with carbon dioxide gas at 20°C. To what pressure should it be charged if there is 1.2 kg of carbon dioxide?

ANSWER:

Solution 83HP

Step 1 of 3:

A cylindrical tank is filled with carbon dioxide at a particular temperature. We are going to find the pressure inside the tank for the given mass of CO2.

The length of the tank L = 1 m

The diameter of the tank D = 20 cm = 0.2 m

The radius r = 0.1 m

The temperature T = 20°C = 293 K

The mass of CO2 (m) = 1.2 kg

The gas constant from the table A.5 (R) = 0.1889 kJ/kg.K = 188.9 J/kg.K
