A cylindrical vessel with a diameter of 8 inches and 5 feet long contained acetylene at 300 psi gauge and 82°F. After some amount of acetylene was used, the pressure was reduced to 190 psi gauge and the temperature was 74°F. The gas constant of acetylene is 59.35 ft-lb/lbm-°R. Determine the following: 1. What is the initial mass in Ibm of the acetylene inside the vessel? 2. What proportion in percentage of acetylene was used? 3. What volume in ft would the used acetylene occupy at 30 psig and 80°F?

A cylindrical vessel with a diameter of 8 inches and 5 feet long contained acetylene at 300 psi
gauge and 82°F. After some amount of acetylene was used, the pressure was reduced to 190
psi gauge and the temperature was 74°F. The gas constant of acetylene is 59.35 ft-lb/lbm-°R.
Determine the following:
1. What is the initial mass in Ibm of the acetylene inside the vessel?
2. What proportion in percentage of acetylene was used?
3. What volume in ft would the used acetylene occupy at 30 psig and 80°F?
