A steel flask of 0.04 m capacity is used to store Nitrogen at 120 bar and 20°C. The flask is protected against excessive pressure by a fusible plug which will melt and allow the gas to escape if the temperature is too high. A. How many kilogram of Nitrogen will the flask hold at the design conditions? B. At what temperature in °C must fusible plug melt in order to limit the pressure of flask to a maximum of 150 bar?
