A tank containing compressed air is initially at 34.8 atmospheres. After some air is removed from the tank, the pressure has decreased to 4.9 atm. What fraction of the original air remains in the tank? Pressures are gauge pressures. The volume of the tank is constant; assume the temperature stays constant also.

a) A closed tank of fixed volume initially contains air at 200 kPag (gauge) pressure and 20oC temperature. One (1.0) kilogram of air is added to the tank by an air compressor to bring the tank pressure to 300 kPag and temperature to 32oC. Find the tank volume. Specify any assumptions used. b) To the same tank as above, a gas mixture containing CO and CO2 is added to replace the air. With 2 kg of the gas mixture added,...

Air is pumped into a bicycle tire. The 41 moles of air initially in the tire have a gauge pressure of 1 atm. How many moles of air must be pumped into the tire in order to raise the gauge pressure to 5 atm? Assume that the volume and temperature of the air inside the tire are approximately constant. Ive tried both 205 moles and 164 moles and both come up as incorrect. Not sure why.

A tank of 0.1 m3 volume initially containing nitrogen at 25 C and 1 bar will be filled with compressed nitrogen at a rate of 20 mol/s. The nitrogen coming from the compressor and into the tank is at an absolute pressure of 110 bar and a temperature of 80 C. The filling process occurs sufficiently rapidly that there is negligible heat transfer between the gas and the tank walls, and a valve is closed to stop the filling process...

Estimate the compressed air tank volume required to store an amount of energy equivalent to one gallon of gasoline if the air will be stored at a pressure of 3000 psia. Assume slow (constant temperature) compression, and use the higher heating value (gross calorific value) for gasoline (a.k.a. "petrol"). Submit your answer in gallons (enter numerical value only without units).

A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 11.0 m also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 3.00 atm. Water flows out from the bottom through a small hole. How fast is this water moving? Is it true that the initial pressure is 3atm + 1atm, if so why? is it because when the container is sealed there is still air in it BEFORE you seal it. And then when you seal it you apply...

A rigid copper tank, initially containing 1 m3 of air at 295 K, 4 bar, is connected by a valve to a large supply line carrying air at 295 K, 15 bar. The valve is opened only as long as required to fill the tank with air to a pressure of 15 bar. Finally, the air in the tank is at 310 K. The copper tank, which has a mass of 20 kg, is at the same temperature as the...
