Problem 2

A 10-ft³ tank contains gas at a pressure of 500 psia, temperature of 85°F and a weight of
25 pounds. A part of the gas was discharged, and the temperature and pressure changed to 70°F
and 300 psia, respectively. Heat was applied and the temperature was back to 85°F. Find the
final weight, volume, and pressure of the gas.

Problem 3

A motorist equips his automobile tires with a relief-type valve so that the pressure inside
the tire never will exceed 240 kPa gage. He starts a trip with a pressure of 200 kPa (gage) and a
temperature of 23°C in the tires. During the long drive, the temperature of the air in the tires
reaches 83°C. Each tire contains 0.11 kg of air. Determine (a) the mass of air escaping each tire,
(b) the pressure of the tire when the temperature returns to 23°C.

Problem 4
An automobile tire contains 3730 cu in. of air at 32 psig and 80°F. (a) What mass of air is
in the tire? (b) In operation, the air temperature increases to 145°C. If the tire is inflexible, what is
the resulting percentage increase in gage pressure? (c) What mass of the 145 F air must be bled
