THERMODYNAMICS AND HEAT TRANSFER
1. The pressure gage on a 2.5𝑚3 oxygen tank reads 500kPa. Determine the
amount of oxygen in the tank if the temperature is 28℃ and the atmospheric
pressure is 97kPa.
Given: V=2.5𝑚3
𝑃𝑔𝑎𝑔𝑒 =500kPa
T=28℃
𝑘𝐽
R=0.2598𝑘𝑔∙𝐾
Required: m=?
Solution:
T=28℃ + 273 = 301K
𝑃𝑎𝑏𝑠 = 𝑃𝑔𝑎𝑔𝑒 + 𝑃𝑎𝑡𝑚 =500kPa + 97kPa = 597kPa

2. A 400L rigid tank contains 5kg of air at 25℃. Determine the reading on the
pressure gage if the atmospheric pressure is 97kPa.
Given: V=0.025𝑚3
