An adiabatic tank initially contains CO2 at 37C and 300 kPa. The tank is connected to a pressurized supply line that contains CO2 also at 37C but at 0.6 MPa. A valve (throttle) connecting the tank is opened until the mass in the tank doubles. Please answer the following. a. Based on the values for the critical point for CO, sketch a P-v diagram or CO2 as pure substance to locate the initial states in the tank and the supply line, and determine if the condition of the CO2 in the tank and in the line may be considered as pure substance or ideal gas. Explain your answer. b. Determine the final temperature, in K, and pressure, in kPa, of the CO in the tank. Before using numerical values, express your equations in literal form (symbols only). In your solution clearly indicate the boundary of your system with the energy interactions across the boundary and the assumptions and approximations used when deriving the governing equations suitable to solve this problem. All property values should be retrieved using tables from your textbook along with their corresponding units.
