Air at temperature 527
oC and pressure 30 atmospheres is admitted into the cylinder of an engine. Calculate the pressure of the gas when it has expanded to 5 times its volume and cooled to 127
oC as it leaves the engine
-
A.
1.5 atmospheres
-
B.
2.5 atmospheres
-
C.
3.0 atmospheres
-
D.
12.8 atmospheres
-
E.
15.0 atmospheres
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
\(\frac{V_1P_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2P_2}{T_2}\)
\(\frac{1 \times 30}{527 + 2733} = \frac{5P_2}{127 + 273}\)
\(\frac{30}{800} = \frac{5p_2}{400}\)
P2 = \(\frac{400 \times 30}{800 \times 5}\)
= 3
