A rigid tank contains a saturated liquid-vapour mixture of water in an equilibrium state. The volume of the tank is 110 m3 and the temperature of the water in the tank is 115°C. In the tank, 70% of the mass is liquid and 30% of the mass is vapour. Please calculate the total mass of water in the tank.

A rigid, well-insulated tank contains a two-phase mixture consisting of 0.005 ft3 of saturated liquid water and 2.7 ft3 of saturated water vapor, initially at 14.7 lbf/in.2 A paddle wheel stirs the mixture until only saturated vapor remains in the tank. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. For the water, determine the amount of energy transfer by work, in Btu.

A 500 L rigid tank contains a saturated water mixture at 200 C as shown: the mixture is 40% liquid and 60% vapour by volume (State 1). A valve on top of the tank is opened, and saturated vapor is slowly withdrawn from the tank. Heat transfer occurs during this process such that the temperature in the tank remains constant. The valve is closed when 50 % of the initial mass is withdrawn from the tank (State 2) (a) Determine...

A 2-m3 rigid insulated tank initially containing saturated water vapor at 1 MPa is connected through...

A 2-m3 rigid insulated tank initially containing saturated water vapor at 1 MPa is connected through a valve to a supply line that carries steam at 400°C. Now the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to flow slowly into the tank until the pressure in the tank rises to 2 MPa. At this instant the tank temperature is measured to be 300°C. Determine the mass of the steam that has entered and the pressure of the steam in the...

A closed, rigid tank is filled with water. Initially, the tank holds 0.6 lb of saturated vapor and 6.0 lb of saturated liquid, each at 212°F. The water is heated until the tank contains only saturated vapor. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Determine the volume of the tank, in ft3, the temperature at the final state, in °F, and the heat transfer, in Btu.

A rigid insulated tank is initially divided into two sections by a partition. One side contains 1.0 kg of saturated-liquid water initially at 6.0 MPa, and the other side is evacuated. The partition is broken, and the fluid expands into the entire container. The total volume is such that the final equilibrium pressure is 3.0 MPa. Determine a) the initial volume of the saturated liquid in liters, b) the total volume of the entire tank in liters,
