Problem 160EUP

A cylindrical gas tank 3 ft long, with an inside diameter of 8 in., is evacuated and then filled with carbon dioxide gas at 77 F. To what pressure should it be charged if there should be 2.6 lbm of carbon dioxide?

ANSWER:

Solution 160 EUP

Step 1 of 2

We have to find the pressure to which the cylindrical gas tank has to be charged,if there should be 2.6 lbm of carbon dioxide.

The pressure can be calculated using ideal gas equation for carbon dioxide.

where,

volume of cylindrical tank in in3

gas constant for CO2

       =  35.10 ftlbf/lbmR

mass of CO2 

       = 2.6 lbm

77 F = (77+459.67) R
