1. The pressure gage on a 2.5 m³ oxygen tank reads 500 kPa.

determine the amount of oxygen in the


tank if the temperature is 28˚C and the atmospheric pressure is 97 kPa.

3. A 1-m³ tank containing air at 25˚C and 500 kPa is connected through a valve to another tank containing
5 kg of air at 35 ˚C and 200kPa. Now the valve is opened and the entire system is allowed to reach
thermal equilibrium with the surroundings which are at 20˚C. determine the volume of the second tank
and the final equilibrium pressure of air.

V= 1 m³ M= 5 kg
T= 25˚C T= 35 ˚C

P= 500 kPa P= 200kPa

Volume of the tank A, VA = 1 m3


Temperature of air in tank A, TA = 25oC = 298 K
Pressure of air in tank A, PA = 500kPa
Mass of air in tank B, mB = 5 kg
Temperature of air in tank B, TB = 35oC = 308 K
Pressure of air in tank B, PB = 200 kPa
Surrounding temperature, Tsurr = 20oC = 293 K
For air, gas constant R = 0.287 kJ/kmol K
From ideal gas equation, mass of air in tank A is determined by

4. The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air
temperature is 25˚C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m³, determine
the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to 50 ˚C. also, determine the
amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume
the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa.

Solution:
The gas contant for air is:

R = 0.287 kJ/kg・K

The absolute pressure in the tire is


Pabs = Pg + Patm

Pabs = 210 + 100

V = 310 𝑘𝑃𝑎
