Hi all,
Given constant volume and temperature, is the pressure vs. compressed volume equation linear or a curve?
For example:
A 'standard' 80 ft3 Aluminium scuba cylinder at operating pressure of 3000 lbs/ft3 contains roughly the equivalent of 80 ft3 of gas at 1 Atm
The same cylinder at 1500 lbs/ft3 has how much gas at 1atm equivalent?
If it is a linear equation, it would be about 40 ft3.
If it's a curve, can someone point me to a formula, or better yet, a souce where I can get to understand the pressure, static container volume, compressed gas volume relationship better?
