Explanation / Answer


a)use the ideal gas equation
pv=nRT

n= no of moles of nitrogen = 20000/28 =1427.88 mol
R = universal gas constant = 8.314 j/K-mol
T = temperature = 273 - 26.43 = 246.57 K
v =volume
p = pressure = 1bar = 101325 pa

p1v1= nRT1
=>v1 = 1427.88 * 8.314 *246.57/101325 = 28.89 m3

using the equation ideal gas equation we get

p1v1/T1 = p2v2/T2

since it is a rigid tank hence it has a constant value

=> p1/T1 = p2/T2

p2 = 1*473/246.57 = 1.92 bar
V2 = 28.89 m3 or 29 m3 approx

similarly for b)

v1 = 5m3
T1 = 273-16 =257 K
Energy absorbed Q = 2500 kj
T2 = 273+160 = 433 K

You use equations for an ideal gas:

pV = NkT = nRT
U = CvNkT = Cv nRT

where:

Cv is a constant dependent on temperature (e.g. equal to 3/2 for a monatomic gas for moderate temperatures)
U is the internal energy
p is the pressure
V is the volume
n is the amount of gas (moles)
R is the gas constant, 8.314 J
