- A bicycle tire with a volume of 0.00212 m3is filled to its recommended absolute pressure of 495 kPa on a coldwinter day when the tire’s temperature is −15 °C. The cyclist thenbrings his bicycle into a hot laundry room at 32 °C. (a) If the tirewarms up while its volume remains constant, will the pressureincrease be greater than, less than, or equal to the manufacturer’sstated 10% overpressure limit? (b) Find the absolute pressure inthe tire when it warms to 32 °C at constant volume.arrow_forwardA vertical, frictionless piston–cylinder device contains a gas at 180 kPa absolute pressure. The atmospheric pressure outside is 100 kPa, and the piston area is 25 cm2 .

- A piston-cylinder assembly contains air at 210 kPa and occupies a volume of 0.01m. Thepiston is attached to one end of a spring and the other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Theforce exerted by the spring on the piston is proportional to the decrease in the length of thespring. The ambient atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Now, the air in the cylinder is heated tillthe volume is doubled and at this instant it is found that the pressure of the air in the cylinderis 600 kPa. Sketch the process on p-v diagram and calculate work done by the gas.arrow_forwardSolve this question very carefully write clearly and circle the final answer for the” final temperature” in Celsius And The volume of the tank for a final pressure of 10kpa in units of m^3 arrow_forwardShow solution: Argon in the amount of 1.5 kg fills a 0.04-m3 piston-cylinder device at 550 kPa. The piston is now moved by changing the weights until the volume is twice its original size. During this process, argon’s temperature is maintained constant. Determine the final pressure in the device. Answer is 275kPa.arrow_forward
- A cylinder contains an amount of gas. At pressure of 460 kPa and at temperature of 27 ̊C, thegas occupies a volume of 0.08 m3. It is then compressed according to Boyle’s law until its pressureis 1.2 MPa, and then expanded according to Charles’ Law until its volume is 0.05 m3. Calculate thefinal temperature of the gas.arrow_forwardIf 1000 ft3 atmospheric air at zero Fahrenheit temperature are compressed to a volume of 1728 in3 at a temperature of 3000F, The pressure of the air considering the fact that the mass is constant is Answer in Hg.

- Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. Now equal volume of water and light oil (ρ=790 kg/m3) are poured from different arms. A person blows from the oil side of the U-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the U-tube, and thus the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. If the fluid height in each arm is 102 cm, determine the gage pressure the person exerts on the oil by blowing.arrow_forwardA 846-L rigid vessel holds 10 kg of 500C steam.
