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 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 fitted with a paddle wheel contains 2.2 kg of air, initially at 200oC, 1 bar. During an interval of 20 minutes, the paddle wheel transfers energy to the air at a rate of 1 kW. During this time interval, the air also receives energy by heat transfer at a rate of 0.5 kW. These are the only energy transfers. Assume the ideal gas model for the air, and no overall changes in kinetic or potential energy....

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 A valve on top of the tank is opened, and saturated vapor is slowly withdrawn from the tank.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 The valve is closed when 50 % of the initial mass is withdrawn from the tank (State 2) (a) Determine...
