Question: PROBLEM 4 : [ 3 0 Points ] A 0 . 1 - m 3 rigid tank contains saturated refrigerant - 1 3 4 a

PROBLEM 4:
[30 Points]
A 0.1-m3 rigid tank contains saturated refrigerant-134a at 800 kPa . Initially, 30% of the volume is occupied by liquid and the rest is occupied by vapor. A valve at the bottom of the tank is opened, and liquid is withdrawn from the tank. Heat is transferred to the refrigerant from a source at 60C so that the pressure inside the tank remains constant during the process. The valve is closed just when there is no liquid left in the tank. Determine:
a) the mass discharged from the tank, in kg.
(10 points)
b) the heat transferred, in kJ .
(10 points)
c) the entropy generated during the process, in kJK.
(10 points)
