Hi all,
I've been searching through the forum, and found some related posts, but still can't wrap my head around this. I would greatly appreciate any help.
I'm trying to fill a box with carbon dioxide from a tank, that has attached to it a regulator and tube.
I used PV = nRT to find the volume of CO2 inside the tank; here are all my variables:
P (inside tank) = 4601.325 kPa
V (inside tank) = 0.273 cubic meters
n = 515.32 moles
R = 0.0083 (m3*kPa/mol*K)
T = 293 K
I want to know how long it would take to fill a box with CO2 from this tank. The regulator on the tank shows the pressure inside the tank is 4,500 kPa and the pressure of CO2 exiting the tank is 40 kPa. The diameter of the tube through which CO2 exits the tank is 1/8 inch.
I've taken 3 non-calculus-based physics classes, and passed thanks to some hideous curve. So I'm trying to escape this dumbed-down understanding my university has so graciously given to me...
Thank you!
Nathan
