Answer

a) $T=526R$ b) $T=693.81R$ c)$T=700R$

Work Step by Step

a) Based on the ideal gas equation: $T=\frac{PV}{mR}=\frac{P\upsilon}{R}=\frac{400psia*0.1384\frac{ft^3}{lbm}}{0.10517\frac{psiaft^3}{lbmR}}=526R$ b) Using the generalized comrpessibility chart: $P_{R}=\frac{P}{P_{cr}}=\frac{400psia}{588.7psia}=0.679$ $\upsilon_{R}=\frac{\upsilon}{\frac{RT_{cr}}{P_{cr}}}=\frac{0.1384\frac{ft^3}{lbm}}{\frac{0.10517\frac{psiaft^3}{lbmR}*673.6R}{588.7psia}}=1.150$ From Fig A-15a $T_{R}=1.03$ Then $T=T_{R}T_{cr}=1.03*673.6=693.81R$ c)From table A-13E: $T=240^{\circ}F=700R$
