Question
Part A: if the average flow rate of air from the atmosphere into the intake port of the air compressor is 260 L/min how long will it take to fully charge the scuba tank? Assume the tank remains at the same temperature as the surrounding air during the filling process. Answer is in min

Assume an "empty" tank contains air If the (avera charge the at 34 atm and is connected to an air compressor at sea level. The air compressor intakes air from the atmosphere, compresses it to high pressure, and then inputs this high-pressure air into the scuba tank.

P1V1=P2V2
(224 atm - 34 atm) (15L)= (1 atm) V2 [P2 = 1 since at sea level pressure is 1atm]
V2= 2850 L available
Time
= V2/flow-rate
= (2850L)/ (260 L/min) = 10.98 min (= 657.7s)
