Acetylene is contained in a 0.5-ft cylinder whose length is 40 inches. Initially, the pressure and temperature inside the drum are 36,000 lbf/ft² and 90°F. After some parts of the fluid were used, the pressure and the temperature reduced to 28,800 lbf/ft² and 85°F. If the gas constant for acetylene is 59.35 ft-lbf/lbm-R, what part of the acetylene was used? Express your answer in fraction form.

Question: To compensate the possibility of bursting in a 300,000 Li tank containing octane initially at 25°C, it was integrated by a movable roof that allows the expansion of the gas inside. If the designed temperature of the tank during the operation varies between 15°C and 50°C and the diameter of roof is 5000 mm, determine the displacement (millimeters) of the roof during the minimum and maximum operating temperature assume that the pressure remains constant at atmospheric value for safety reason.

Part A Some tire stores claim that filling your car tires with pure, dry nitrogen is much better than using plain air. They make the following claims. 1. The pressure inside N₂-filled tires does not rise or fall with temperature changes. 2. Nitrogen leaks out of tires much more slowly than air because the N₂ molecules are bigger. 3. Nitrogen is not very reactive, and moisture and O₂ in air cause corrosion that shortens tire life by 25-30% Evaluate the claim as a whole. Check all that apply. Claim passes falsifiability test. Claim passes logic test. Claim passes replicability test. Claim passes sufficiency test Claim fails all four FLaReS tests. Submit Request Answer
Problem 3 - Flame Manufacturing is designing a large pressure vessel that contains boiling water (pwater = 850 kg/m³) with a volume of 185 m³. If the cooling system for the pressure vessel fails the pressure-operated relief valves (PORVS) will open and emit steam (Psteam = 35 kg/m³). The change from water to steam is a result of the depressurization of the vessel. If the steam exits the pressure vessel through a 40-mm-diameter pipe determine the following: (a) symbolic equation (no numbers used, just symbols) for the time needed for all the water to escape; and (b) the time in hours for the water to escape if the exit steam velocity is 400 m/sec. Flame Manufacturing needs this data to guarantee the safe operation of the pressure vessel. The two provided densities are sufficient to generate the final solution. Define all the symbols used. ▬▬▬
Provide a complete given and computation. Include all the decimals. There are received 68,000 kg/h of steam by an ideal regenerated engine, having only one heater, of which the heater receives 15,400 kg/hr the condenser receives the remainder at 0.007 MPa. If the heater pressure is 0.96 MPa, find the state (quality or "SH) of the steam (a) at the heater entrance and (b) at the condenser entrance.
