Chapter 5, Problem 5.12P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The pressure in the tank when the tank temperature is 85°F should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the design pressure of the tank has exceeded when tank temperature is 85⁰ F should be estimated.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$\text{PV}\text{=}\text{nRT}$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Explain the purpose of purging the tank with nitrogen when storing flammable gas.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$\text{PV}\text{=}\text{nRT}$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant
