A rigid tank contains 1.86 kg of R134a at -32degreeC. The volume of the tank is 0.22919 m The R134a is heated until its pressure reaches 200 kPa. Determine the initial pressure and final temperature.Solution
Mass m = 1.86 kg
Molecular weight M = 102.03 g / mol
= 0.10203 kg / mol
Number of moles n = 18.229 mol
Initial temprature T = -32 o C
= -32 + 273
= 241 K
Initial volume V = 0.22919 m 3
Initial pressure P = nRT / V
where R = Gas constant = 8.314 / mol K
Substitute values you get P = (18.229)(8.314)(241) /(0.22919)
= 159.36 x10 3 Pa
Final pressure P \' = 200 kPa = 200 x10 3 Pa
At constant volume , T \' / T = P \' / P
From this T \' = ( P \' / P ) T
= 1.254 x 241
= 302.5 K
= 302.5 -273
= 29.5 oC
