Question:
A 5 m3 gas storage tank contains methane. The initial temperature and pressure are P = 1 bar, T = 18°C. Using the ideal gas law, calculate the P following each of the successive steps.
(a) 1 m3 (at standard conditions) is withdrawn isothermally.
(b) The sun warms the tank to 40°C.
(c) 1.2 m3 (at standard conditions) is added to the tank and the final temperature is 35°C.
(d) The tank cools overnight to 18°C.
