A well insulated rigid tank contains 4 kg of argon gas at 450 kPa and 30 C. A valve is opened, allowing the argon to escape until the tank pressure drops to 200 kPa. Assuming that the argon remaining in the tank experiences a reversible adiabatic process, find the final mass of argon in the tank. Since you don't have argon gas tables, assume cp, cv, k as needed at some appropriate temperature(s).

Answer:

Final mass of Argon=  2.46 kg

Explanation:

Initial mass of Argon gas ( M1 ) = 4 kg

P1 = 450 kPa

T1 = 30°C = 303 K

P2 = 200 kPa

k ( specific heat ratio of Argon ) = 1.667

assuming a reversible adiabatic process

Calculate the value of the M2

Applying ideal gas equation ( PV = mRT )

P₁V / P₂V = m₁ RT₁ / m₂ RT₂

hence : m2 = P₂T₁ / P₁T₂ * m₁

                   = (200 * 303 ) / (450 * 219 ) * 4

                   = 2.46 kg

Note: Calculation for T2 is attached below
