Question: At an altitude of 15,000 meters above sea level in standard atmospheric conditions; a) What is the temperature value? (Temperature will be calculated in ℃.) B) What is the pressure value? c) What is the density value?
STP is sea level T = 0o C or 273.15 K
standard lapse rate for temperature is approx 9.8 degree C per 1000 m
0 - 9.8(15) = - 147o C
if you are using 15o C for standard temp at sea level the answer would be -132 degrees C
