    Compressed gas tank pressure calculation! Please help

    Hi,

    I have two high pressure nitrogen tanks. Tank 1 is connected to Tank 2 using a pressure regulating valve.
    Initial Condition:
    Tank 1: Pressure: 1500psi ; Volume of tank: 2782.08cu in
    Tank 2: Pressure: 400psi ; Volume of tank: 898.56 cu in

    I set my Tank 1 regulator output at 800psi to raise the pressure in tank 2 to 800psi.

    I open the needle valve and let tank 2 settle at 800psi.

    What will be the final pressure in tank 1?

    Please help me out, im breaking my head over this!! thanks in advance!

    Yes, looks like homework...

    Been taught this equation?
    PV = nRT
    Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
