Example: Pressure in A Decelerating Tank of Liquid The tank on a trailer truck is filled completely with gasoline, which has a specific weight of 42 lbf/ft³ (6.60 kN/m³). The truck is decelerating at a rate of 10 ft/s² (3.05 m/s²). (a) If the tank on the trailer is 20 ft (6.1 m) long and if the pressure at the top rear end of the tank is atmospheric, what is the pressure at the top front? (b) If the tank is 6 ft (1.83 m) high, what is the maximum pressure in the tank?

A large industrial tank of volume 100 m^3 is filled with steam at 450 degrees Celsius and 150 kPa. The temperature drops to 25 degrees Celsius due to heat loss. I am trying to find the pressure after heatloss.
A piston and cylinder device contains 0.15 kg of water at 25◦C (state 1). As shown in the figure, the piston weighs 500 N and has a cross-sectional area of 0.01 m2. Atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Heat is transferred to the cylinder from a reservoir at 200◦C, raising the piston. When the piston touches the stops, the volume inside the cylinder is Vmax= 0.165 m^3 (state 2). Heat continues to be transferred until the control mass reaches the boundary temperature (state 3).
