Problem HW3.6
An insulated, rigid tank whose volume is 10ft3 is connected by a valve to a large steam
line through which steam flows at 500lbfin2,800F. The tank is initially evacuated.
The valve is opened only as long as required to fill the tank with steam to a pressure of
500lbfin2
a) Determine the final temperature of the steam in the tank, in F(1114.1F)
b) Determine the final mass of steam in the tank, in lbm.
(5.42lbm)
Tips and procedure:
Sketch the system, write assumptions and given values
Evacuated = zero mass contained inside tank
Interpolate if needed
