The envelope and basket of a hot-air balloon have a combined weight of2.45 k±· , and the envelope has a capacity (volume) of 2.18×103m3. When it is fully inflated, what should be the temperature of the enclosed air to give the balloon a lifting capacity (force) of 2.67kN(in addition to the balloon’s weight)? Assume that the surrounding air, at20.00C , has a weight per unit volume of11.9N/m3 and a molecular mass of0.028kg/mol , and is at a pressure of1.0atm .

Short Answer

Expert verified

Temperature of enclosed air,to generate the required lift, is 349.2K.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The combined weight of the envelope and the basket of air-balloon,Wcombined=2.45 k±·
  2. Capacity of the envelope,Venvelop=2.18×103″¾3
  3. Lifting capacity force applied on the envelope to get fully inflated envelope (in addition to balloon’s weight),Fnet=2.67kN
  4. Temperature of the surrounding air,Tsurrounding=20.0 °C
  5. Weight per unit volume,FC/V=11.9N/m3
  6. Molecular mass of the weight,M=0.028 k²µ/mol
  7. Pressure on the weight,P=1 a³Ù³¾

Understanding the concept of inflation and buoyant force

The buoyant force on a body is given by the pressure applied on the body by a fluid. Because the pressure increases as the depth increase, the pressure on the bottom of an object is always larger than the force on the top, hence,a net upward force acts on the body. As we are given a lifting force, thus the net force is in an upward direction which implies the force on the envelope is greater than the combined weight.

The ideal gas equation,

PV=nRT (i)

where, P is the pressure applied on the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature of the gas.

The buoyant force on a body due to an applied pressure,

F=ÒÏVg(ii)

where, P is the density of the body, v is the volume of the body, g is the acceleration due to gravity.

03

Calculation of the temperature of the enclosed gas

The force applied on the envelope can be given using equation (ii) as follows:

Fb=ÒÏcVg

where,ÒÏcis the density of the envelope.

Similarly, the total force is given as:

Fg=W+ÒÏhgV

where, W is the combined weight of the body,ÒÏhis the density of the hot-air balloon due to the applied pressure on the body.

Thus, the net lifting force value acting on the balloon is the difference between the two above forces that is given as follows:

Fnet=Fb−FgFnet=ÒÏcVg−(W+ÒÏhgV)ÒÏhgV=ÒÏcVg−W−FnetÒÏhg=(ÒÏcVg−W−Fnet)V

For the given values-

ÒÏhg=((11.9F/m3×2.18×103m3)−2.45×103N−2.67×103N)2.18×103m3=9.55 N/m3

Now, from the ideal gas equation, we get the pressure volume ratio as follows:

PRT=nV

Multiplying both the sides of the above equation by the molar weight, we get the temperature of the gas using the given data as follows

PMgRT=nMgV∵Densityofabody,ÒÏ=MVPMgRT=nÒÏhgT=PMgRnÒÏg

For the given values-

T=1.01×105Pa×0.028kg×9.8m/s28.31m3 P²¹/°­.³¾´Ç±ô×1mol×9.55N/m3=349.2‿é

The temperature for enclosed air will be 349.2‿é.
