An old storage tank of “46” m3 stores steam at 6000 kPa and 330 °C. A crack develops at the
top wall of the tank and steam starts to leak out to the atmosphere. An engineer realizes the
problem on time and stops the leak when the pressure inside the tank is below 4000 kPa. If
the leak is assumed to be adiabatic and reversible,
a) What is the final temperature of the steam remained in the tank? (10 points)
b) How much steam is released to the atmosphere? (10 points)
