1.58 A gas at 40°C under a pressure of 21.868bar abs has a unit weight of 362 N/m. What is the value of R forthis
gas?What gas might this be?
| y =p/RT 362: (21.868 x 10)/[(R)(40 + 273)] R = 19.3m/K
This gas might be carbon dioxide. since its gas constant is 19.3 m/K (from Table A-6).
1.59 If water vapor (R = 85.7 ft/°R) in the atmosphere has a partial pressure of 0.60 psi: and the temperature is
80°F, what is its specificweight?
I y = p/RT = (0.60)(144)/[(85.7)(80 + 460)] = 0.00187Ib/n
Refer to Prob. 1.59. If the barometer reads 14.60 psia. ealculate the partial pressure of the air, its specific
weight, and the specific weight of the atmosphere (air plus water vapor).

1.61 (a) Calculate the density, specific weight, and specihc volume of oxygen at 20 °C and 40 kPa abs. (b) If the
oxygen is enclosed in a tigid container, what will be the pressure it the temperature is redumd to 1(Xl °C?

final pressure?
(a) 11 12 mJ of nitrogen at 30 °C and 125 kPa abs is permitted to expand isothermally to 30 In, what is the
