Question

A well-insulated pressure cylinder with rigid walls contains air at 300 k. the cylinder is to be charged to the pressure of a long compressed gas line maintained at 300 k and 8.57 times the pressure of the cylinder. neglect kinetic energy and potential energy effects and the volume of the neck. treat air as an ideal gas with a constant specific heat ratio of 1.4. find the temperature of the gas after charging is complete.

Answer 1

This book represents an introduction to fluid mechanics for engineering students in their third academic year. It is based on the belief that engineering consists of applying scientific knowledge to find real solutions for problems of practical importance, and that the best way for a student to learn engineering is by solving such problems (in simplified form) under the supervision of compe- tent teachers. Every effort has been made to keep the presentation clear and simple, with enough detailed examples that the instructor can assign problems without previous class discussion. A student is more likely to ask a pertinent question on some topic after working on a problem on that topic than after the material is presented only in a lecture or as a reading.
