Question

An oxygen cylinder used as a standby source of oxygen contains 7.0 ft^3 of O2 at 587 degR and 212.0 psig. What will be the volume (ft^3) of this O2 in a dry-gas holder at 650degR and 5.00 in. H2O above atmospheric (gauge)? The barometer reads 29.92 in. Hg.

 

Conversion factors: 1 in. H2O = 0.0734824 in. Hg;

Atmospheric pressure = 29.92 in. Hg = 1 std atm = 14.7 psia
