Question: Problem 4 ( 3 0 Points ) A sealed rigid cubical tank 1 1 1 m contains a saturated mixture of water at 1 5

Problem 4(30 Points) A sealed rigid cubical tank 111m contains a saturated mixture of water at 150C,x=0.95. The tank is covered on all sides with a 100 mm thick layer of polystyrene foam (k=0.035WmK). It is placed in a 25C convective environment (h=10Wm2) for 5 hours. During the cooling transient the tank temperature remains at 150C. Find:
a) The total amount of heat transferred. (15 points)
b) The quality of the mixture at the final state. (15 points)
Ignore the thermal resistances of the tank wall and the internal convection.
Ignore radiation heat transfer.
Model the insulation as a one-dimensional plane wall.
