Chapter 2, Problem 30RQ
A gas is compressed inside a compressor's cylinder. When the piston is at its bottom dead center, the gas is initially at 10 psig, 65°F, and 10.5 in3. After compression and when the piston is at top dead center, the gas is 180°Fand occupies 1.5 in3. What would be the new pressure of the gas in psig?

A cylindrical vessel with a diameter of 8 inches and 5 feet long contained acetylene at 300 psi
gauge and 82°F. After some amount of acetylene was used, the pressure was reduced to 190
psi gauge and the temperature was 74°F. The gas constant of acetylene is 59.35 ft-lb:/lbm-°R.
Determine the following:
1. What is the initial mass in Ibm of the acetylene inside the vessel?
2. What proportion in percentage of acetylene was used?
3. What volume in ft would the used acetylene occupy
at 30 psig and 80°F?

Steam is contained in the sealed pot, with a small vent hole in the middle of the cover, allowing steam to escape. The pressure is regulated by covering the vent hole with a small weight, which is displaced slightly by the escaping steam. Atmospheric pressure is 1 bar, the vent hole area is 7mm2, and the pressure inside should be 2.75 bar. What is the mass in kg of the small weight?arrow_forward
