6. A 6 m3 tank contains helium at 400 °K and is evacuated from

atmospheric pressure to a pressure of 740 mm Hg vacuum. Determine,
a. Mass of Helium remaining in the tank,
b. Mass of Helium pumped out,
c. If the temperature of the remaining Helium falls to 10 °C, what
is the pressure in kPa?
GIVEN:
V = 6m3 T2 = 10°C +273 = 283 K
T1 = 400 K p2 = 740 mmHg = 98.6586 kPa
p1 = 760 mmHg = 101.325 kPa
REQUIRED:
a. mremaining b. mpumped c. pressure in kPa
SOLUTION:
PV = mRT
pV 101.325 kPa (6m3 )

8. A spherical balloon is 40 ft. in diameter and surrounded by air at 60 oF

and 29.92 in. Hg absolute.
a. If the balloon is filled with hydrogen at a temperature of 70 °F
and atmospheric pressure, what total load can it lift?
b. If it contains helium instead of hydrogen, other conditions
remaining the same, what load can it lift?
c. Helium is nearly twice as heavy as hydrogen. Does it have half
the lifting force? R for hydrogen is 766.54 ft-lbf/lb -°R and for
helium is 386.04 ft-lbf/lb -°R
GIVEN:
d = 40 ft. p = 29.92 in Hg abs
T1 = 60°F +460 = 520°R n = 14.695332 psia
T2 = 70°F + 460 = 530°R RHe = 386.04 lb. ft./lb. °R
