Chapter 18, Problem 18.20E
At an altitude of 11,000 m (a typical cruising altitude for a jet airliner), the air temperature is −56.5°C and the air density is 0.364 kg/m3. What is the pressure of the atmosphere at that altitude? (Note: The temperature at this altitude is not the same as at the surface of the earth, so the calculation of Example 18.4 in Section 18.1 doesn’t apply.)

- Review. This problem is a continuation of Problem 39 in Chapter 19. A hot-air balloon consists of an envelope of constant volume 400 m3. Not including tire air inside, the balloon and cargo have mass 200 kg. The air outside and originally inside is a diatomic ideal gas at 10.0C and 101 kPa, with density 1.25 kg/m3. A propane burner at the center of the spherical envelope injects energy into the air inside. The air inside stays at constant pressure. Hot air, at just the temperature required to make the balloon lift off, starts to fill the envelope at its closed top, rapidly enough so that negligible energy flows by heat to the cool air below it or out through the wall of the balloon. Air at 10C leaves through an opening at the bottom of the envelope until the whole balloon is filled with hot air at uniform temperature. Then the burner is shut off and the balloon rises from the ground. (a) Evaluate the quantity of energy the burner must transfer to the air in the balloon.

The piston is pulled outward, increasing the volume of the gas until the pressure drops to 1.0 atm. If the temperature stays constant, what new volume does the gas occupy? (a) 1.0 m3 (b) 1.5 m3 (c) 2.0 m3 (d) 0.12 m3 (e) 2.5 m3arrow_forwardHow many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a light balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take Hc = 0.179 kg/m3. Assume the balloon maintains a constant volume and the density of air decreases with the altitude z according to the expression pair = 0e-z/8 000, where z is in meters and 0 = 1.20 kg/m3 is the density of air at sea level.arrow_forward
- A vertical cylinder of cross-sectional area A is fitted with a tight-fitting, frictionless piston of mass m (Fig. P18.40). The piston is not restricted in its motion in any way and is supported by the gas at pressure P below it. Atmospheric pressure is P0. We wish to find the height h in Figure P18.40. (a) What analysis model is appropriate to describe the piston? (b) Write an appropriate force equation for the piston from this analysis model in terms of P, P0, m, A, and g. (c) Suppose n moles of an ideal gas are in the cylinder at a temperature of T. Substitute for P in your answer to part (b) to find the height h of the piston above the bottom of the cylinder.

By making the air inside the balloon less dense then the surrounding air, the balloon is able to lift objects many times its own weight. A large hot air balloon has a maximum balloon volume of 2660 m3. What is the density of air inside the balloon, in terms of the pressure P, temperature T, molar mass M, and the gas constant R? How much mass can this balloon lift (in addition to the mass of the gas inside) in terms the balloon volume Vb, the atmosphere air density ρa, the density of the air in the balloon ρg, and the gravitational acceleration g? If the air temperature in the balloon is 62 °C, how much additional mass, in kilograms, can the balloon lift? Assume the molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol, the air density is 1.20 kg/m3, and the air pressure is 1 atm.arrow_forward
- 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 44°C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. kJ kPa.m³ kJ Assume the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa. The gas constant of air is R = 0. 287- = 0.287 kg-K The pressure rise in the tire is 210.2 kPa.

It cools down quite a bit overnight to -5°C. If you were to measure the air pressure in the tire on that cool morning, what pressure would you measure?
