Example.
Determine the mass of the air in a room whose dimensions
are 4 m x 5 m x 6 m at 100 kPa and 25 C.
Solution:
Volume V = 120 m3, T = 25 + 273 = 298 K.
Use Table A-1 to find R = 0,2870 kJ/kmol K, from:
P V = m R T, will be found that m = (100 kPa) (120 m3) /
((0,287 kJ/kmol K) (298 K)) = 140,3 kg.
