Chapter 17, Problem 51P
(II) A typical scuba tank, when fully charged, contains 12 L of air at 204 atm. Assume an “empty” tank contains air at 34 atm and is connected to an air compressor at sea level. The air compressor intakes air from the atmosphere, compresses it to high pressure, and then inputs this high-pressure air into the scuba tank. If the (average) flow rate of air from the atmosphere into the intake port of the air compressor is 290L/min, how long will it take to fully charge the scuba tank? Assume the tank remains at the same temperature as the surrounding air during the filling process.

- An airtight dispenser for drinking water is 25 cm × 10 cm in horizontal dimensions and 20 cm tall. It has a tap of negligible volume that opens at the level of the bottom of the dispenser. Initially, it contains Water to a level 3.0 cm from the top and air at the ambient pressure, 1.00 atm, from there to the top. When the tap is opened, water will flow out until the gauge pressure at the bottom of dispenser, and thus at the opening of the tap, is 0. What volume of water flows out?

- Small differences in gas pressures are commonly measured with a micro-manometer of the type illustrated in Fig. (3). This device consists of two large reservoirs each having a cross sectional area A, which are filled with a liquid having a specific weight Y1 and connected by a U-tube of cross-sectional area A, containing a liquid of specific weight y2. When a differential gas pressure, P, - P2 , is applied, a differential reading, h, develops. It is desired to have this reading sufficiently large (so that it can be easily read) for small pressure At differentials. Determine the relationship between h and P1 P, when the area ratio is small, and show Ar that the differential reading, h, can be magnified by making the difference in specific weights, Y2 - Y1 , small. Assume that initially (with P = 2P2). %3D P1 P2 Y1 Figure (3)arrow_forwardIn a dry-pipe sprinkler valve, the air seat typically has a surface area on which the air pressure acts six times as large as the water seat upon which the water pressure acts.
