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withdrawn from the tank at a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 1.0)
Heating ceases when all of the water remaining in the tank is
saturated vapor at 20 bar. For the
water, evaluate the heat transfer, in kJ, for each stage of
heating. Ignore KE and PE effects.

Specific internal energy:
Specific internal energy is one of the properties of the material which is referred as the ratio between the internal energy of material and material mass. It is also stated as the amount of kilo-joules obtained by one kilogram of the definite material. It is denoted by .
Specific volume:
The volume of a substance per unit mass is known as specific volume. It is also stated as the amount of cubic meters obtained by one kilogram of a definite substance. It is denoted by .
First law of thermodynamics
It states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. Thus, energy is conserved. For an energy imbalance in a system, the energy change inside the system is difference between energy entering into the system and the energy leaving the system.
Heat transfer:
The phenomenon of transfer of energy from one body to another by virtue of temperature difference with or without the medium is known as heat transfer.
Property tables:
Property tables are the thermodynamic tables which provide the data about temperature, pressure, specific enthalpy, specific entropy and specific volume at certain saturation temperature, saturation pressure or at combined temperature and pressure in superheat condition.
First, obtain the various thermodynamic properties from the property table of “Saturated water-pressure table”. Then, obtain the specific internal energy at state 1 and state 2 to calculate the heat transfer in stage 1. Finally, obtain the specific internal energy and specific enthalpy to calculate the heat transfer in stage 2.
