1. The pressure gage on a 2.5m3 oxygen tank reads 500 kPa. Determine the amount of oxygen
in the tank if the temperature is 28°C and the atmospheric pressure is 97 kPa. The gas constant
of oxygen is, R=0.2598 kJ / kg. K.
Solution:
Pabs = Pg + Patm
Pabs = 500 +97= 597 k Pa
Convert °C to K
T(k)= °C + 273
T(k) = 28 + 273 = 301 K
PV = m R T
m = PVRT = 597 ×2.50.2598×301.15 = 19.076 kg
2. A 400-L rigid tank contains 5 kg of air at 25°C. Determine the reading on the pressure gage if
the atmospheric pressure is 97 kPa.
The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa.m3/kg.K (Table A-1).

3. A 1-m^3 tank containing air at 25°C and 500 kPa is connected through a valve to another tank
containing 5 kg of air at 35°C and 200 kPa. Now the valve is opened, and the entire system is
allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, which are at 20°C. Determine the
volume of the second tank and the final equilibrium pressure of air.
Given:
Volume of the tank A, VA = 1 m3
Temperature of air in tank A, TA = 25 oC = 298 K
Pressure of air in tank A, PA = 500 kPa
Mass of air in tank B, mB = 5 kg
Temperature of air in tank B, TB = 35 oC = 308 K
Pressure of air in tank B, PB = 200 kPa
Surrounding temperature, Tsurr = 20 oC = 293 K
For air, gas constant R = 0.287 kJ/kmol K
