Problem 83HP

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
