Problem 5.135 An insulated 0.15-m3 tank contains helium at 3 MPa and 130°C. A valve is now opened, allowing some helium to escape. The valve is closed when one-half of the initial mass has escaped. Determine the final temperature and pressure in the tank.

A rigid, well-insulated tank contains wet steam (20:80 wt% liquid:vapor) at 200◦C. The wet steam is withdrawn from the tank until the fluid remaining in the tank is at 150◦C. The process is carried out slowly such that internal gradients are negligible inside the tank. Determine at the end of this process: (a) The pressure in the tank. (b) The mass fraction of vapor and liquid in the tank. (c) The fraction of total water (liquid and vapor) present initially...
