MARTINEZ Ideal Gas and Polytropic Problem

1. The oxygen tank contains 500 kPa of oxygen at 28°C. Using the ideal gas law, the amount of oxygen can be calculated. 2. A 400-L rigid tank contains 5 kg of air at 25°C. Using the ideal gas law and given conditions, the pressure reading can be determined. 3. Two tanks at different pressures and temperatures are connected. Using conservation of mass and the ideal gas law, the final equilibrium pressure and volume of the second tank can be calculated.

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 0C and the atmospheric
pressure is 97 kPa.

m=

2. A 400-L rigid tank contains 5 kg of air at 25°C. Determine the reading on the
pressure gage if the atmospheric pressure is 97 kPa.

3. A 1-m3 tank containing air at 25 0C and 500 kPa is connected through a value
to another tank containing 5 kg of air at 35 0C and 200 kPa. Now the valve is
opened, and the entire system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the
surroundings, which are 20 0C. Determine the volume of the second tank and
the final equilibrium pressure of the air.

For air, gas constant R = 0.287 kJ/kmol K


From ideal gas equation, mass of air in tank A is
determined by

mA = = mA = 5.846 kg
Volume of the tank B can be determined from

VB =
VB = 2.21 m3
Total volume, V = VA + VB = 1+ 2.21 = 3.21 m3
Total mass of air, m = mA + mB = 5 + 5.846 = 10.846 kg
The final equilibrium pressure (P) can be obtained from the ideal gas equation applied
to total volume
Therefore,

P=

4. The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the
tire. When the air temperature is 25 0C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the
volume of the tire is 0.025 m 3, determine the pressure rise in the tire when the
air temperature in the tire rises to 50 0C. Also, determine the amount of air that
must be beld off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature.
Assume the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. R= 0.2870kJ/kg

25 + 273.15 = 298.15K

PV = mRT
Since mass,volume and R is contant , thus

= (310) = 336 kPa

The pressure rise is simply the difference P2–P1= (336–310) kPa = 26kPa
In this final state the pressure equals the initial pressure (P3= P1= 310 kPa), while the
final temperature remains at 50oC. (T3= T2= 50oC.) The mass difference between
these two states is computed from the ideal gas equation as follows.
