Chapter 3 Problem p3.27

Question

Consider a highly pressurized air tank at conditions ( p0 , 0 , T0 ) and volume 0 . In Chap. 9 we will learn that, if the tank is allowed to exhaust to the atmosphere through a well-designed converging nozzle of exit area A , the outgoing mass fl ow rate will be m # 5 p0 A 1RT0 where < 0.685 for air This rate persists as long as p0 is at least twice as large as the atmospheric pressure. Assuming constant T0 and an ideal gas, ( a ) derive a formula for the change of density 0 ( t ) within the tank. ( b ) Analyze the time Dt required for the density to decrease by 25 percent.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 3 problem number 27 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Consider a highly pressurized air tank at conditions ( p0 , 0 , T0 ) and volume 0 . In Chap. 9 we will learn that, if the tank is allowed to exhaust to the atmosphere through a well-designed converging nozzle of exit area A , the outgoing mass fl ow rate will be m # 5 p0 A 1RT0 where &lt; 0.685 for air This rate persists as long as p0 is at least twice as large as the atmospheric pressure. Assuming constant T0 and an ideal gas, ( a ) derive a formula for the change of density 0 ( t ) within the tank. ( b ) Analyze the time Dt required for the density to decrease by 25 percent.
From the textbook chapter Pressure Distribution in a Fluid you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
