An insulated rigid tank initially contains 5 lb of saturated liquid water-vapor mixture at 40 psia with three-quarters of the mass in the liquid phase. An electric resistance heater placed in the tank is turned on until all of the liquid is vaporized. Calculate (a) the exergy destroyed, and (b) the second law efficiency.

A well-insulated rigid tank contains 2 kg of a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 100 kPa. Initially, three-quarters of the mass is in the liquid phase. An electric resistance heater placed in the tank is now turned on and kept on until all the liquid in the tank is vaporized. Determine the entropy change of the steam during this process. Answer: 8.10 kJ/K Analysis From the steam tables (Tables A-4 through A-6)
A well-insulated rigid tank contains 5.80 kg of a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 225 kPa. Initially, one-quarter of the mass in the liquid phase. An electric resistor placed in the tank is connected to 240-V source, and a current of 6 A flows through the resistor when the switch is turned on. Determine how long it will take to vaporize all the liquid in the tank in minute.
In a well-insulated rigid tank which contains 2 kg of a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 200 kPa, 40% of the mass is in the liquid phase. A heater is providing heat to the content of the tank so that all liquid phase converts to vapor phase. Calculate the entropy change of water in this process.
An insulated rigid vessel contains 5kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of Refrigerant- 134a at 200kPa. At this stage, one-fifth of the mass is in vapor phase and rest is in liquid. Now using an electrical resistance heater, heat is supplied to the contents of the vessel until all of the refrigerant is converted to saturated vapor. Show this process on a P v diagram with respect to saturation lines and determine, 1. volume of the rigid vessel 2. temperature, in...
(1 point) A rigid, insulated 0.43 m tank initially contains saturated water liquid at 362 kPa. The tank is connected to a steam pipe line carrying steam at 1.53 MPa and 305 °C through a valve. When the valve is opened, steam enters the tank from the pipe. When the valve is closed, the tank is filled with a saturated vapor with a pressure of 0.8 MPa. How much mass was added to the tank during this process?
Problem 5(25 points) A rigid tank initially contains a partition that separates water at two different states. One side of the partition initially contains 4.5 lbm of steam at 150 psia and 600°F. The other side of the partition contains 7 lbm of saturated liquid 25 percent. The pressure at the final state is 50 psia. -vapor mixture at 300°F with a vapor mass fraction of partition is removed, and mixing occurs until equilibrium is established. The a) b) Determine...
A rigid tank having a volume of 0.1 m3 initially contains water as a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture at 1 bar and a quality of 1%. The water is heated in two stages: Stage 1: Constant-volume heating until the pressure is 20 bar. (treat as closed system) Stage 2: Continued heating while saturated water vapor is slowly withdrawn from the tank at a constant pressure of 20 bar. (Note: Use transient analysis with all the water leaving having a quality of...
A 160 m3 rigid tank is filled with saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 50oC. 70% of the mass is vapor and the 30% of the mass is liquid. The mixture is then heated until its pressure is 50kPa. Determine the final temperature(oC).
Problem 3.034 A closed, rigid tank is filled with water. Initially, the tank holds 1.0 lb of saturated vapor and 6.0 lb of saturated liquid, each at 212°F. The water is heated until the tank contains only saturated vapor. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored Determine the volume of the tank, in ft3, the temperature at the final state, in °F, and the heat transfer, in Btu
Needh help with this A 200-m' rigid tank is filled with saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 50°C. If 10% of the mass is liquid and the rest is vapor, find the total mass in the tank. If heat is added in and the mixture becomes saturated vapor, find the pressure.
