A helium balloon, assumed to be a perfect sphere, has aradius of 24.0 cm. At room temperature (20°C), its internalpressure is 1.08 atm. Determine the number of moles ofhelium in the balloon, and the mass of helium needed toinflate the balloon to these values
In 1923, the United States Army (there was no United States Air Force at that time) set a record for in-flight refueling of airplanes. Using two refueling planes, an Airco DH-4B biplane was able to remain in flight for 38 h. During the flight, the refueling planes were able to air-transfer a total of 687 gallons of fuel to the plane in 9 refueling transfers.
Assume that the refueling nozzle had a diameter of 1.55 in and each refueling took 2.43 min to perform. Calculate the velocity of the fuel through the nozzle. Assume that the fuel filled the entire cross-sectional area of the nozzle.
