Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 22ICA
You want to create a graph showing the theoretical relationship of an ideal gas between pressure (P) and temperature (T). Assume the tank has a volume of 12 liters and is filled with nitrogen (formula, N2; molecular weight, 28 grams per mole). Allow the initial temperature to be 270 kelvin at a pressure of 2.5 atmospheres. Create a proper plot, showing the temperature on the abscissa from 260 to 360 kelvin.

1. 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
parameters are held constant, the CV boundaries, and the point where all four plots overlap.

The Antoine Equation can be used to estimate vapor pressure at various temperatures for different substances using sets of empirically-derived constants. The equation can be written as:
Where for water A = 8.07131, B = 1730.63, C = 233.426, T = temperature [°C], and P = vapor pressure [mmHg]. Note that with these constants the temperature and pressure must be provided in °C and mmHg, respectively.
Using the Antoine Equation and the provided constants, what atmospheric pressure (provided in terms of % of standard atmospheric pressure) will permit water to boil at 75 °C?

- . I am planning to perform some volume-flow rate measurements in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory. For this, I need a volumetric measuring tank (graduated cylinder) and a stopwatch. I considered the volume of the measured tank as 15 gallons and a stopwatch with reaction time as 1/10th of a second (though resolution of 1/1000th of a second). What is the volume flow rate if it takes 5 minutes to fill a 15-gallon of tank? Determine the smallest division to be on the tank in order to estimate the volume flow rate within an accuracy of ± 0.05 gpm.arrow_forwardSuppose you're converting a bill of materials for machining feedstock from the British gravitational (U.S. system) of units to International System (SI) units. Your goal is to have all of the material quantities in kilograms. Your bill of materials lists values for required weights of brass rod in pounds. To convert to these values to kilograms you first you divide by gravitational acceleration in feet per second squared to get a mass in slugs, then convert slugs to kilograms using standard conversion factors.
