Question: 7 - 1 . Use a vacuum inerting procedure with nitrogen to reduce the oxygen concentration to 1 ppm . The vessel has a volume

7-1. Use a vacuum inerting procedure with nitrogen to reduce the oxygen concentration to 1 ppm.
The vessel has a volume of 3.78 m3
and initially contains air, the vacuum system can deliver 20 mm
Hg absolute, the temperature is 24\deg C, and the highest pressure is 1 atm. Determine the number of
purges and the total amount of nitrogen used (in kg). Repeat for a vessel with a volume of 37 m3
and a vacuum of 30 mm Hg.
