Question:

A hydrogen storage tank containing 30 kg of H2 is exposed to a fire such that 128.5 MJ is transferred to the H2 in a heat interaction. The initial temperature and pressure in the tank are 300 K and 500 kPa, respectively. The maximum safe pressure for the tank is 1.5 MPa. 

A. Is there a danger that the tank will rupture? Treat the hydrogen as an ideal gas for your analysis. Be sure to list your assumptions.

B. Is the assumption of ideal gas behavior reasonable? Justify your answer.
