Find the pressure of air in a vessel being evacuated as a function of evacuation time `t`. The vessel volume is `V`, the initial pressure is `p_0`. The process is assumed to be isothermal, and the evacuation rate equal to `C` and independent of pressure. The evatuation rate is the gas volume being evacuated per unit time, with that volume being measured under the gas pressure attained by that moment. |

Answer» Correct Answer - `p = p_(0)e^(-Ct//V)` `m = V_(rho)` in small interval dt the increase in volume `dV = C dt` `m = V_(rho) = (V +C dt) (rho +d rho)` `V_(rho) = V_(rho) +Vd_(rho) +rhoC dt` `rho C dt =- V d rho ………..(i)` but `P alpha rho` `P = k rho` `(dP)/(P) = (d rho)/(rho).........(2)` `C dt = - (V d rho)/(rho) =- (VdP)/(P)` [from (1) and (2)] `C int_(0)^(t) dt =- V int_(P_(0))^(P) (dP)/(P)` `ln ((P)/(P_(0))) = (-C)/(V)t` `(P)/(P_(0)) = e^(-(Ct)/(V))` `P = P_(0) e^(-(Ct)/(V))` |
