Problem 206EUP
A tank contains 10 ft3 of air at 15 psia, 540 R. A pipe of flowing air at 150 psia, 540 R is connected to the tank and it is filled slowly to 150 psia. Find the heat transfer needed to reach a final temperature of 540 R.
ANSWER:
Solution 206EUP
Step 1 of 4:
A tank contains air at initial condition is filled with air at the different temperature and the pressure. We are going to find the heat transfer to attain the given final temperature.
The pressure of air inside the tank P1 = 15 psia = 103.42 kPa
The volume of air inside the tank V = 10 ft3 = 0.283 m3
The temperature of air inside the tank T1 = 540 R = 300 K
The final pressure P2 = 150 psia = 1034.21 kPa
The final temperature T2 = 540 R = 300 K
The temperature of the incoming air Tin = 540 R = 300 K
