Since the temperature in the summer can get as high as


Problem 2.24:

A 0.5 m3 tank will be used to store CO2 at 20 °C. Using the SRK equation answer the following:

a) Determine the maximum amount (kg) of CO2 that can be stored safely if the tank can withstand a maximum pressure of 70 bar.

b) Repeat if the maximum pressure is 60 bar.

c) Repeat at 50 bar.

Problem 2.25:

Use the SRK equation to answer the following:

a) 5000 kg of isobutane is to be stored in a tank at 60 psi, 70°F. What is the required tank volume?

b) Since the temperature in the summer can get as high as 95°F, determine the pressure that the tank must withstand to avoid rupture.
