Fifteen kg of the carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is fed to a cylinder having a volume of 20 m3 and initially containing 15kg of CO2 at a pressure of 10bar. Later a pinhole develops and the gas slowly leaks from the cylinder. Determine
(a) The specific volume, in m3/kg, of the CO2 in the cylinder initially. Repeat for the CO2 in cylinder after 15 kg has been added.
(b) Plot the amount of CO2 that has leaked from the cylinder, in kg, versus the specific volume of the CO2 remaining in the cylinder. Consider CO2 v ranging up to 1.0 m3/kg
