- You are in the compressed gas business as a science specialist and your company offers a wide range of pressurized gases to various industries Your cylinders generally have a capacity of 8 L, and a client has inquired if it would be possible to fit in 1100 grams of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 in one of the 8 L cylinders. Assuming room temperature of 2525°C, use the ideal gas equation and the van der Waal s equation to determine the pressure inside the cylinder Compare the answers Using the real gas value, would it be safe to cater to the client s request knowing that your company s cylinders have a threshold pressure of 45 atm before they rupture?arrow_forwardA Shell Philippines specializes in the shipment of pressurized gaseous materials. An order is received for 5000 liters of a particular gas at 15oC and 1 atm. What minimum tank volume in liters is necessary to transport the same amount of gas at 35oC and a maximum pressure of 120 psia?arrow_forward(a) A liquid with known properties (i.e. density, viscosity, etc. ) is contained in the space Ra 0 the temperature of the outer cylinder (r = Ro) is T; > Tọ. Provide an estimate for the time required to reach steady state (i.c. the time required for the diffusion penetration to reach the surface of the inner cylinder). (b) Define the thermal diffusivity a and its units. To answer the "units question", use only the fundamental units: length L, mass M, time T and temperature e. For example, the units for the velocity are L/T (and not m/sec or miles/hour). (e) You study a problem which involves momentum and energy transfer. Under which condition(s) the problem velocity and temperature are identical, i.e. are given by the same equation if we scale both the velocity and the temperature with their corresponding scales?arrow_forward
- Example 4-1: A perfect gas at pressure of 750 kPa and 600 K is expanded to 2 bar pressure. Determine final temperature of gas if initial and final volume of gas are 0.2 m³ and 0.5 m³ respectively.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are TRUE, when the cavitation parameter o = 0? (i) the local pressure is reduced to vapour pressure (ii) cavitation starts (iii) boiling of liquid starts (iv) cavitation stopsarrow_forwardAn perfect gas of a specific composition At 10 g/mol, the molecular weight and specific heat ratio of this substance are equal. It has a pressure of 200kPa and an initial volume of 2m3 at this point. During the process of heat transfer, the pressure was more than doubled. Calculate the heat transfer if the process had 'n = infinity,' 'n = Cp/Cv,' and 'n = 3' parameters.arrow_forward

On the left of the projectile, the tube contains gas with pressure po = 1 x 105 Pa (N/m²). The force F is slowly increased, moving the projectile 0.5 m to the left from the position shown. The force is then removed and the projectile accelerates to the right. If you neglect friction and assume that the pressure of the gas is related to its volume by PV = constant, what is the velocity of the projectile when it has returned to its original position?

- When water boils in a pot with a loose lid, the increased pressure forces the lid upward, releasing steam and reducing the pres- sure in the pot so that the lid drops back down. If the water continues to boil, the lid can rattle upward and downward. Consider a 1 L pot half filled with boiling water. In this case there is half a liter, or 1 mol, of air and steam above the water. (a) Estimate the mass of the lid. (b) When the water is rapidly boiling, estimate the height to which the lid jumps during a steam-release event. (c) By multiplying the weight of the lid by the height of the jump, estimate the work done by the steam as the lid moves upward. (d) Treat the process as adiabatic and use the first law of thermodynamics to estimate the drop in the temperature of the steam as it pushes the lid upward.arrow_forwardA rigid tank with a capacity of 10 ft^3 contains water at 70 Celsius, and 30% of it is vapor.
