A tank that initially contains H2O at 0.05 MPa and 100 ºC, is connected to a water vapor line at 0.60 MPa and 200 ºC and is filled to a level where 90% (on a volumetric basis) is liquid. The 1 m3 tank is kept at 100 ºC during the process. Determine the quality of the gas in the second phase, the input mass in (kg) and the heat transfer, in kJ.

Which of the following statements are true and which are false?
The decimal reduction time D is the heating time in min at a certain temperature required for the number of viable microbes to be reduced to 10% of the original number.
The z value is the temperature increase required for a ten-fold decrease in D.
Thermal death time is the heating time required to give commercial sterility.
Thermal death time does not depend on the initial microbial load.
The D value does not depend on the initial microbial load.
The D value of a microorganism is independent of the food item.
The D value of a microbe is a measure of the thermal resistance of the microbe.
If the number of microbes in a process has to be reduced from an initial load of 106 to a final 104, the required thermal death time will be 10D.

that the two components form a layer 1.00 cm thick on top of a 3cm
deep layer of water. Both components(water and methyl alcohol) are
mutually diffusing into each other at 270C, there is no
mixing of water and methyl alcohol and they are fully miscible.
Calculate the following:
