I have a 50KG cylinder with 1-2LB of SF6 at 15PSI. I want to transfer it into another cylinder by temperature differential.
Keeping it simple. I try to model it with two cylinders that has a valve on each cylinder. Connecting the cylinder with a 1/4" hose. Both valves are closed. The cylinder with the SF6 is at ambient temperature (25C). I cool the other cylinder to -40C (~-50C is solidifying point).. Open both valves.
How would I go about calculating the flow rate?
I try to find the pressure differential using ideal gas law
PV=nRT; P1/T1 = P2/T2, 15 PSI / 298.15K = P2/233.15K; P2 = 11.73PSI.
This is the wrong way since I know it is a compressible gas and the pressure should be much lower. Any help or direction would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!
