Question: Problem # 2 : Consider a tank containing compressed nitrogen ( N 2 ) . It starts out hanging above the ground from a crane.

Problem #2:
Consider a tank containing compressed nitrogen (N2). It starts out hanging above the ground from a crane. Because
the tank is exposed to the sun, the gas is hotter than the surrounding air. At the initial state, the tank is being lowered
by the crane, the tank is 20 m above the ground and travelling at 3ms toward the ground. At that instant, the
temperature and pressure of the nitrogen in the tank are 80C and 1000 kPa , respectively. At the final state, the tank
is stationary on the ground, and the temperature is 20C. For nitrogen, R=0.2968kJkg- K . Determine the following
in kJkg for the nitrogen in the tank:
Change in potential energy per mass
Change in kinetic energy per mass
Change in internal energy per mass
Change in total energy per mass
Lastly, what is the...
Specific volume of the nitrogen in the tank (units of m3kg)?
