Answer

$T_2=709.2°R=249°F$ $m_2=0.914\ lbm$

Work Step by Step

From the material balance: $m_i=m_2-m_1$ For ideal gases (air: $V=2\ ft³,\ R=0.3704\ psia.ft³/lbm.°R$): $PV=mRT$ Initial ($P_1=20\ psia,\ T_1=520°R$): $m_1=0.2077\ lbm$ Final ($P_2=120\ psia,\ T_2=?$): $m_2=647.9/T_2$ From the energy balance: $m_ih_i=m_2u_2-m_1u_1$ $(m_2-m_1)c_pT_i=c_v(m_2T_2-m_1T_1)$ Given $c_p/c_v=1.4,\ T_i=545°R$: and solving for $T_2=709.2°R=249°F$ So: $m_2=0.914\ lbm$
