Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 13RQ
You want to create a graph showing the relationship of an ideal gas between pressure (P) and temperature (T). Allow the initial temperature to be 270 kelvin. The range of temperatures to be modeled ranges from 270 to 480 kelvin. Control the scale of the abscissa so the range is shown from 250 to 500 kelvin.
Model two gases:
- Nitrogen (formula, N2; molecular weight, 28 grams per mole), using a 12-liter tank with an initial pressure of 2.5 atmospheres.
- Oxygen (formula, O2; molecular weight, 32 grams per mole), using a 15-liter tank with an initial pressure of 4 atmospheres.
After drawing the graph for nitrogen and oxygen, model a third gas, with information entered by the user. Assume the volume is 12 liters.
Ask the user to enter the name of the gas [Example: Chlorine]
Ask the user to enter the initial pressure in the tank measured at 270 kelvin [Example: 3 atm]
Ask the user to enter the temperature of interest [Example: 400 kelvin]. The user is interested in a temperature in the range of 270 to 480 kelvin.
Output the following information to the Command Window:
At a temperature of TTT kelvin for GGG, the pressure is P.P atm.
where:
- TTT is the temperature of interest entered by the user;
- GGG is the name of the gas; and
- P.P is the pressure at that temperature shown to one decimal place.
Add the user-entered gas to the graph, showing the pressure over the range of temperatures from 270 to 480 kelvin. In addition to the single graph with three data series, create an additional figure window with a set of subplots showing each data series as an individual subplot.
Your output should be similar to the following:
In the Command Window:
Enter the name of the gas: Chlorine
Enter the initial pressure [atm] : 3
Enter the temp of interest [K]: 400
At a temperature of 400 kelvin, chlorine has a pressure of 4.4 atm.
The figures should appear similar to the following. The colors and line types may vary.

For the following concentration expressions, indicate whether they are uniform or nonuniform
and in how many dimensions (OD, 1D, 2D, or 3D), and steady or unsteady. Then for the following
control volume and origin, and table of constants, use Excel or Matlab to graph profiles that
show how concentration changes within the control volume and over time to a limit of 20 for
the following: C(x,0,0,0), C(0,y,0,0), c(0,0,z,0) and C(0,0,0,t). On each graph, show which

dP
= kP(1200 – P) with k constant. Its population in 1960 was 300 million and was
dt
then growing at the rate of 2 million per year. Predict this country's population for the year 2010
This country's population in 2010 will be million.

Please keep in mind that almost every variable is unknown! We are given no numbers and are instructed to generate a solution using the variables [ "R, M, g, I and H." ]
Target =
Find an equation that, if we could substitute numbers, would determine how long the process would take.
Newton's second law and torque seem to be relevant based on how the problem is written.

- The center of mass for a human body can be determined by a segmental method. Using cadavers, it is possible to determine the mass of individual body segments (as a proportion of total body mass) and the center of mass for each segment (often expressed as a distance from one end of the segment). Finding the overall body center of mass can be a complex calculation, involving more than 10 body segments. Below, we will look at a simplified model that uses just six segments: head, trunk, two arms, and two legs.
