Question: Q 1 - A pneumatically operated tool is driven from a gas cylinder. The filling pressure absolute is 2 0 5 bar at a temperature

Q1- A pneumatically operated tool is driven from a gas cylinder. The filling pressure absolute is 205 bar at a temperature of \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and a cylinder volume of 40 l . The tool is driven with a working pressure pe of 4 bar and has an air consumption of \(200\mathrm{I}/\mathrm{min}\), based on 1 bar and \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
1-a How long can the tool be operated from the cylinder with a duty cycle of \(100\%\)?
1-b What is the operating time with a duty cycle of \(20\%\)?
1-c What happens if the cylinder, filled at a temperature of \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) is used at an ambient temperature of \(35^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)?
1-d Suppose the gas cylinder is replaced with a compressor that delivers \(500\mathrm{l}/\mathrm{min}\). The difference between the gas supply and consumption is stored in a \(0.5\mathrm{~m}^{3}\) tank. To maintain stable tool operation, a pressure switch starts the compressor when the tank pressure drops to 4.5 bar and stops it when the pressure reaches 8 bar. Assuming constant temperature, calculate the compressor's run and stop times for a 100\% duty cycle.
