Answer 1

Given Data

• The Gas constant is: R=25.8 ft. lb/lb*R
• The constant is: k=1.09

The equations are

$C_p−C_v=R\\ \frac{C_p}{C_v}=k$

Take C_v common in first equation

$C_v= \frac{R}{k-1}= \frac{25.8}{1.09-1}=286.67 Btu/lb⋅°F$

$C_p−286.67=25.8 \implies C_p=312.467 Btu/°F⋅lb$

The mass of the gas is

$m=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{[(75×144) lb/ft^2]×15 ft^3}{25.8×(80+459.67°R)}=11.63 lb$

$Q=mC_vdT\\ \frac{Q}{mC_v}+T_1=T_2\\ T_2=\frac{30}{286.67×11.635}+80=80.009°F$
