Question
Air at standard conditions enters the compressor shown in the figure below at a rate of 10 ft3/s. It leaves the tank through a 1.2-in.-
diameter pipe with a density of 0.0035 slugs/ft³ and a uniform speed of 661 ft/s. (a) Determine the rate (slugs/s) at which the mass of
air in the tank is increasing or decreasing. (b) Determine the average time rate of change of air density within the tank.
