Decrease in temperature and pressure of closed container

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the decrease in temperature and pressure of helium in a closed tank as it exits through a pipe at a constant mass flow rate. Participants emphasize the importance of showing an attempt at solving the problem before receiving assistance. The ideal gas law is suggested as a relevant equation for this calculation. The conversation encourages engagement and problem-solving rather than simply providing answers. Understanding the principles of thermodynamics and gas behavior is crucial for solving the homework problem effectively.

Homework Statement


Helium is stored in a tank initially at temperature To and pressure Po. It starts coming out through an opening (pipe outlet) at a constant mass flow rate of mdot. Calculate the decrease in temperature and pressure of the tank (assuming no heat loss to the surroundings) as a function of time.

Hello ishan1992. Welcome to the forum.

To get help with your homework you need to show that you have made some attempt to solve the problem yourself. We are not supposed to just do your homework for you. If you can show that you made an attempt, or ask for help on a particular place that you are stuck, then we will be glad to help. But we can't just answer your homework questions for you.

I will give you one hint here. Do you know the ideal gas law?
