Well good to know my answer numerically makes sense. Intuitively though I don't have a clue what something with those dimensions and strength would look like.
Thanks for the reply!
Problem:
CO2 is contained in a vertical cylinder at a pressure of 30 atm by a piston with a mass of 57 lbm. If g is 32.4 ft/sec2 and the barometric pressure is 29.7 in. Hg what is the area of the piston?
Relevant equations
F = Ma/gc
W = Mg/gc
P= F/A
gc = 32.174 lbm ft / (lbf sec2)
1 atm = 29.9...
Hi there!
I picked up an old Thermo textbook and want to work my way through it. However the practice problems don't have solutions to check against so it's hard to know if I'm going in the right direction.
I'm just looking for a bit of support and collaboration for taking on this little...
