1) A cylindrical vessel with a diameter of 8 inches and 5 feet long contained acetylene at 300 psi gauge and 82°F. After some amount of acetylene was used, the pressure was reduced to 190 psi gauge and the temperature was 74°F. The gas constant of acetylene is 59.35 ft-lb/lbm-°R. Determine the following: a) What is the initial mass in lbm of the acetylene inside the vessel? (5 pts) b) How much volume in ft3 of acetylene was used? (5 pts)
