BONUS QUESTION ( Chi U. Ikoku “Natural gas Production engg , page

25)
A quantity of gas at a pressure of 150 psig has a volume of 1500 cuft. if the
gas is compressed to 250 psig, what volume would it occupy? Assume the
barometric pressure is 14,73 psia and the temperature of the gas remains
constant.
Answer :

V1 = 1500 cuft
P1 = (150 + 14,73) = 164,73 psia
P2 = (250 + 14,73) = 264,73 psia
V2 = 1500 x ( 164,73/264,73 ) = 933.38 cuft
