Answer

$\Delta m=0.026lbm$

Work Step by Step

$P_{abs,1}=14.6psia+20psig=34.6psia$ $P_{abs,2}=14.6psia+30psig=44.6psia$ From the ideal gas law: $m=\frac{PV}{RT}$ $m_{1}=\frac{34.6psia*0.53ft^3}{0.3704\frac{psiaft^3}{lbmR}*(90+459.67)R}=0.090lbm$ $m_{2}=\frac{44.6psia*0.53ft^3}{0.3704\frac{psiaft^3}{lbmR}*(90+459.67)R}=0.116lbm$ Then: $\Delta m=0.116lbm-0.090lbm=0.026lbm$
