You are going to empty a compressed air tank, but you want to do it in a way that results in the contents inside the tank remaining isenthalpic. If the initial state of air in the tank is 1500 psia and 100 °F, and it is emptied until the pressure is 14.7 psia, determine the heat transfer required to keep the air in the tank isenthalpic. The initial mass in the tank is 10 lbm and the final mass is 0.098 lbm. Assume ideal gas behavior.

.44 The compressed air tank of a scuba diver reads 3,200 psi at the beginning of a dive and 825 psi at the end of a dive. Convert each of these values to atm and mmHg. 6.48 If someone takes a breath and the lungs expand from 4.5 L to 5.6 L in volume, and the initial pressure was 756 mmHg, what is the pressure inside the lungs (in mmHg) before any additional air is pulled in? 6.52 How hot...

We have a balloon that we fill from an air tank. The empty and deflated balloon has a mass 11.625 g. After the balloon is blown up and allowed to sit in its surroundings (at T(infinity) = 22 C and p(infinity) = 0.99 atm) for an hour, we mass the balloon again, and find that it has a mass of 12.156 g and a diameter 8.5”. What is the gauge pressure in the balloon? What approximations and assumptions have you...

An activated sludge aeration blower is delivering air to diffusers in an aeration tank. You want to estimate the isentropic efficiency and the work input (by the motor). At the blower inlet, the volumetric flow rate is measured at 85 m3/min, the pressure is 0.98 atm and the temperature is 20⁰C. If the pressure is increased to 1.61 atm and the blower outlet temperature is 350 K: a) what is the blower isentropic efficiency, and b) what is the work...

I need to design an air nozzle for a compressed air system with multiple outlets. All I know about the current system is there is 109 psi available in the air line. If I use the mass flow rate equation for a compressed ideal gas, how do I know the pressure hasn’t dropped in the line to decrease the Mach number as I increase the area of the nozzles? If the flow is choked, will the velocity remain constant as...

An air compressor rapidly fills a 0.3m3 tank (there is no heat transfer through the tank walls), initially containing air at 27 ?C, 1 atm, with air drawn from the atmosphere at 27? ?C, 1 atm. During filling, the relationship between the pressure and specific volume of the air in the tank is pv1.4 = constant. You can model the air as an ideal gas with constant specific heats at 300K. Calculate (and show your work) the tank’s pressure and...
