The Answer of A compressed air energy storage facility operates between a pressure of $5 \times 10 ^ { 5 } \mathrm {~Pa}$ and a pressure of $7.5 \times 10 ^ { 6 } \mathrm {~Pa}$. How large would the compressed air chamber have to be to provide one day of electricity to a city of 100,000 where the average per-capita electric use is $0.8 \mathrm {~kW} _ { \mathrm { e } }$. Assume a generating efficiency of $75 \%$. Express your answer in cubic meters and the edge length in meters of a cubic chamber.
