Question: A 0 . 5 m 3 rigid storage tank initially contains 0 . 2 k g of steam at 1 b a r . The
A rigid storage tank initially contains of steam at The tank undergoes a twostep process in order to release some of its contents:
I With the tanks release valve closed, a heat source at adds heat to increase the steam pressure to bar.
II With the tanks release valve open, steam slowly exits until the final steam pressure goes back to bar. In the release, assume there are negligible internal gradients and no heat transfer to the surroundings.
Using the steam tables in Appendix AIII of text, determine the:
a Amount of heat added in step I
b Mass of steam released in step II
c Total entropy generated in the entire process.
