initial                                                Final

V1 = 1m3                                      V2 =

T1 = -82.45C   =-82.45+273 = 190.55K         T2 = 27C   = 27+273 = 300K

P1 = 91.6atm                                                 P2 = 1atm

    P1V1/T1      =   P2V2/T2

       V2            = P1V1T2/T1P2

                       = 91.6*1*300/190.55*1

                         = 144.2m3 >>>>>>answer

Nitrogen gas is contained in a rigid 1-m3 tank, initially at 5 bar, 300 K. Heat transfer to the contents of the tank occurs until the temperature has increased to 400 K. During the process, a pressure-relief valve allows nitrogen to escape, maintaining constant pressure in the tank. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, and using the ideal gas model with constant specific heats evaluated at 350 K, determine (a) the mass of nitrogen that escapes, in kg, and (b)...

A tank contains methane at 1000psia and 140F. Another tank of equal volume contains ethane at 500psia and 140F. The two tanks are connected, the gases are allowed to mix and the temperature is restored to 140F. Calculate the final pressure, the composition of the mixture, and the partial pressures of the components at final conditions. Do not assume that ideal gas equations apply. Z-factor for methane is 0.95, and ethane is 0.77

Methane gas is diffusing in a straight tube 0.1 m long containing helium at 298 k and a total pressure of 1.01325 x 10^5 Pa. the partial pressure of CH4 is 1.400 x 10^4 Pa at one end and 1.333 x 10^3 at the other end. Helium is insoluble in one boundary, and hence is non diffusing or stagnant. Calculate the flux of methane in kg mol/s m^2
