Question: In a 0.1 m3 constant volume tank, there is initially 100 kPa pressure and 1% dryness degree of saturated liquid-saturated vapor mixture water (Case 1).

In a 0.1 m3 constant volume tank, there is initially 100 kPa pressure and 1% dryness degree of saturated liquid-saturated vapor mixture water (Case 1). This mixture is heated to a pressure of 2 MPa at a constant volume in the first step (Case 2). In the second stage, the heating process is continued and saturated water vapor is removed from the tank at a constant pressure of 2 MPa. Heating and steam output continue until all of the remaining water in the tank is saturated steam at 2 MPa (Case 3). a) Calculate the heat transfer at each stage in kJ. Ignore the kinetic and potential energy changes. b) Find the mass of water remaining in the tank in the last case (Case 3). c) Show this process change in the T- diagram.
