Homework Statement
Calculate the density in lbm/ft3 with the given formula: ρ=p/RT where p=35 psi, R=1716 ft-lbf/slug-°R, and T=100°F.
We have access to a table with basically any unit conversion we would need.
The Attempt at a Solution
100°F=37.78°C=310.9278K
(35 lb/in2)(144 in2/1 ft2)(1 slug-°R/1716 ft-lbf)(32.17 lbm/1 slug)(1.8K/1°R)(1 lbf/32.17 lbm-ft/s22)(1/310.9278K)
I didn't crunch the numbers yet, because I know I haven't finished. Right now, this gives me an answer in lb-s2/ft4
Any help in getting this into lbm/ft3 would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
