Problem 3 A motorist equips his automobile tires with a relief -type valve so that the pressure inside the tire never will exceed 240 kPa(gage). He starts a trip with a pressure of 200 kPa (gage) and a temperature of 23 °C in the tires. During the long drive, the temperature of the air in the tires reaches 83 °C. Each tire contains 0.11 kg of air. Determine (a) the mass of air escaping each tire, (b) the pressure of the tire when the temperature returns to 23 °C.
