- The ideal gas law relates the pressure P, volume V, absolute temperature T (Kelvin), and amount of gas n. The law is P = mAT where R is the gas constant. An engineer must design a large natural gas storage tank to be expandable to maintain the pressure constant at 2.2 atmospheres. In December when the temperature is -15°C, the volume of gas in the tank is 28,500 ft°. What will the volume of the same quantity of gas be in July when the temperature is 31°C? (Hint: Use the fact that n, R, and P are constant in this problem. Note also that Kelvin = °C+273.2)arrow_forward4. Measured data for pressure versus volume during the expansion of gases within the cylinder of an internal combustion engine are given in the table below. Using data from the table, complete the following: a) Determine a value of n such that the data are fit by an equation of the form pV = const [1.2] b) Evaluate analytically (using an integral) the work done by the gases based on your result from part (a) [0.64 kJ] c) Using graphical or numerical integration on the data (i.e. midpoint trapezoidal rule), evaluate the work done by the gases [0.65 kJ] d) Compare the different methods for estimating the work used in parts (b) and (c).

- T F The specific weight of a fluid is the product of the fluid's density and the acceleration due to gravity. Stronger surface tension leads to higher capillary rise. Absolute pressures are frequently negative. If the pressure of fluid drops below the vapor pressure of that fluid at that temperature, the fluid will cavitate. F F T F F Density can be measured in lb;/ft° in the English system of units. For a hydrostatic incompressible fluid, pressure is independent of depth. A fluid with a high bulk modulus of elasticity is more difficult to compress than one with a low bulk modulus of elasticity. Viscosity is caused, in part, by the surface tension within a fluid. A fluid can resist an applied shear stress by deforming. Pressure increases faster with depth in less dense fluids than in more dense fluids.

- A cylindrical storage tank is 10m high and 25m in diameter. It is filled to a depth of 9.93 m with oil, having a coefficient of volumetric expansion of 4.4 x 10-4 / °C. To the nearest degree, how much will the temperature of the oil have to change to completely fill the tank. Consider only the oil; neglect the expansion of the tank itself. [16.0 °C]arrow_forward1. In general, the internal energy U depends on both temperature and volume, U=U(TV). The volume dependence comes from the potential energy due to the interactions among the particles. For free particles, there are no interactions, thus, the internal energy U should be independent of the volume, i.e., = 0. Verify this result for ideal gas pV = RT. au avarrow_forwardPlease show your solution on a paper with complete unit of measures. Will get a ?arrow_forward
