Sorry Rich, but I don’t know where these percentages came from (or to what they refer). As I mentioned before, thermodynamics isn’t really my thing but, ‘Standard’ air behaves as the Ideal Gas that your model assumes at around 232 Bar. Above or below that pivotal pressure a mass-to-pressure error exists - below 232 Bar, the vessel’s pressure drop is slightly less than the Ideal Gas assumption anticipates; at higher pressures then the pressure drop is progressively much greater than your assumption would anticipate. Unfortunately, in the real world, the greater-than-anticipated pressure-drop means that at every iteration (fill) the pressure discrepancy increases and so, by cascading that error, there are considerably fewer fills to be had.
I haven’t complained. Far be it for me to complain. I’m just flagging an error.
Indeed it does but the temperature range we’re considering is comparatively small. Any temperature variation would apply equally to both models anyway.
Noted and corrected. Sorry about that.
