Answer to Question #78392 in Physics for Jonathan Kia

Question

A typical scuba tank, when fully charged, contains 12 L of air at 204 atm. Assume an empty tank contains air at 34 atm and is connected to an air compressor at sea level. The air compressor intakes air from the atmosphere, compresses it to a high pressure, and then inputs this high-pressure into the scuba tank. If the average flow rate of air from the atmosphere into the intake port of the air compressor is 290 L/min, how long will it take to fully charge the scuba tank? Assume the tank remains at same temperature as the surrounding air during the filling process.
