Answer to Question #168875 in Electrical Engineering for mika

Question

an ideal gas at 50 psig and 110 f is heated in a closed cylindrical vessel. what is temperature fi the pressure gauge reading is 100 psig

Answer 1

According to the combined gas law:

p₁/t₁ = p₂/t₂

where p₁ - initial pressure, p₂ - final pressure, t₁ - initial temperature, t₂ - final pressure

From here:

t₂ = p₂t₁ / p₁ = 100 psig × 110 f / 50 psig = 220 f

Answer: 220 f
