Mechanical Engineering

An air compressor rapidly fills a 0.3m3 tank (there is no heattransfer through the tank walls), initially containing air at 27?C, 1 atm, with air drawn from the atmosphere at 27? ?C, 1 atm.During filling, the relationship between the pressure and specificvolume of the air in the tank is pv1.4 = constant. You canmodel the air as an ideal gas with constant specific heats at300K.

Calculate (and show your work) the tank’s pressure andtemperature, and the

work input to the compressor for the case ofm/m1 = 1.5, where m1is the initial mass in the tank and m is the mass in thetank at any time after filling starts

Plot the pressure, in atm of the air within the tank versus theratio of m/m1

Plot the temperature, in ?C, of the air within the tank versusthe ratio of m/m1

Plot the compressor work input, in Btu, versusm/m1.

For all three graphs, let m/m1 vary from 1 to3 in increments of 0.1
