A 6m diameter spherical tank contains 2928kg of methane gas (CH4) at 25°C. This tank is contained within another spherical tank of larger diameter and concentric to it, which has the function of containing the gas in case of leakage from the inner sphere, which would fail due to the increase in pressure in case the temperature rises. 90°C Calculate:
a. The initial pressure of the inner sphere (at 25°C).
b. The failure pressure of the inner sphere (when the temperature rises to 90°C).
c. The minimum diameter of the outer sphere to return the pressure to the value of point "a" of this problem.
