Chapter 3, Problem 3.76P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of tank to hold the methane at 3000 psia and$\text{60°}\text{F}$ should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Volume of the tank can be determined by ideal gas relationship comparing initial and final conditions as follows-

  $\frac{P_1\times V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2\times V_2}{T_2}$

Here, $P_1$is initial pressure, $V_1$is initial volume, $T_1$is initial temperature, $P_2$is final pressure, $V_2$is final volume and $T_2$is final temperature.
