An air compressor is used to pressurize a cylindrical tank


An air compressor is used to pressurize a cylindrical tank which contains air at atmospheric pressure. The tank's diameter is 3 ft and it is 5 ft long. The supply line is 1 inch in diameter. The air compressor's output pressure is a constant 80 psi at 90oF with a 10 ft/s velocity. The tank's temperature stays at a constant 70oF. Determine the time required for the tank pressure to reach 50 psi. (995 s or 16.58 min)
