Question

A cylindrical vessel 8 feet in diameter and 15 feet in height is constructed to withstand a maximum pressure of 500 psi. It is filled with 1,214 lbs of Nitrogen, with a formula of N2. What is the maximum temperature it can safely withstand?

******
I worked through this for a long time and I just can't seem to get an answer that makes sense. My temperature value seems way too high.

NOTE: I KNOW THAT THIS QUESTION IS LISTED ON HERE ALREADY BUT I DON'T AGREE WITH THE ANSWER. IF THE QUESTION IS ASKING FOR MAX TEMPERATURE, I DON'T SEE HOW THE ANSWER LISTED ON THE OTHER QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED CAN BE CORRECT. I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO WALK THROUGH THIS DIFFERENTLY THAN WAS PREVIOUSLY DONE.

THANKS! :)
