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 temperature, and the

work input to the compressor for the case of m/m1 = 1.5, where m1 is the initial mass in the tank and m is the mass in the tank at any time after filling starts

Plot the pressure, in atm of the air within the tank versus the ratio of m/m1

Plot the temperature, in ?C, of the air within the tank versus the ratio of m/m1

Plot the compressor work input, in Btu, versus m/m1.

For all three graphs, let m/m1 vary from 1 to 3 in increments of 0.1

Transient heat transfer Leaking steam completely fills a room, pushing out all of the air. The steam is at atmospheric pressure. Because the mortar cement siding walls are initially cool, at a uniform temperature of 22C, the steam begins to condense on the walls. Find the rate of condensation per square meter of wall at (a) 10 s and (b) 30 s after the leak. The wall is 10 cm thick, and you may assume that the other side of...

Five kg of oxygen (O​2​), initially at 430°C, fills a closed, rigid tank. Heat transfer from the oxygen occurs at the rate 425 W for 10 minutes. Assuming the ideal gas model with ​k ​ = 1.350 for the oxygen, determine its final temperature, in °C. Can't seem to find the right equations to use for this one, so I'm getting pretty stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated

3) Air flows steadily at the rate of 0.4 kg/s through an air compressor, entering at 6 m/s with a pressure of 1 bar and a specific volume of 0.85 m3/kg, and leaving at 4.5 m/s with       a pressure of 6.9 bar and a specific volume of 0.16 m3/kg. The internal energy of air leaving is 88 kJ/kg greater than that of the air entering. Cooling water in a jacket surrounding the cylinder absorbs heat from the air at...

A rigid tank contains air at 500 kPa and 190 °C. As a result of heat transfer to the surroundings, the temperature and pressure inside the tank drop to 64 °C and 400 kPa respectively. One kilogram of water fills a container whose volume is 0.13 m cube. The pressure in the container is 750 kPa. Calculate the total internal energy and enthalphy in the container.
