Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The water temperate, the liquid and head space volume (L), and the mass of water vapor in the head space (kg) at time t1 should be determined.
Concept introduction:
All the properties of liquid and vapor of water, enthalpy, specific volume, and specific entropy vary with change with saturation pressure.
(b)
Interpretation:
The water temperature, the liquid and head space volume (L), and the mass of water vapor in(g) that evaporates between t1 and t2 should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The energy transfer properties of saturated water can be calculated by saturated steam table. If pressure is given then we can find value of temperature and same with if temperature given we can find other properties such as enthalpy, specific volume etc.
(c)
Interpretation:
The amount of heat (kJ) transferred to the tank contains between t1 and t2 should be calculated and two resins why the actual heat input to the tank must have been greater than the calculated value should be given.
Concept introduction:
Sum of the heat of liquid and vapor at t1 gives total heat contains in the tank similarly at t2 we can calculate total heat contains. And difference of heat contains at t2 and t1 gives heat transferred to the tank between t1 and t2.
(d)
Interpretation:
The three different factors responsible for the increase in pressure resulting from the transfer of heat to the tank should be listed.
Concept introduction:
If increase the temperature vaporization increases and pressure increases, density of liquid decrease, because system is closed system.
(e)
Interpretation:
The ways in which this accident could have been avoided should be listed.
Concept introduction:
Sensors play an important role in such situation because if processes cross the set point processes automatic open safety valve.
(f)
Interpretation:
The temperature at which the valve is open and the rate at which the needed to release steam (kg/KJ of added heat) in order to keep the tank pressure from rising should be determined.
Concept introduction:
From stem table find the corresponding value at 10 bars. In this case saturated steam table give the other properties such as enthalpy, specific volume etc.

- 3. A gas contained within a closed piston-cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series: Process 1-2: Constant volume from P₁ = 1 bar, V₁ = 4 m³ to state 2, where P₂ = 2 bar; Process 2-3: Compression to V3 = 2 m³, during which the pressure-volume relationship is PV = constant; Process 3-4: Constant pressure to state 4, where V4 = 1 m³; (a) Sketch the processes in series on P-V coordinates. (b) Evaluate the magnitude of work in kJ for EACH process. To make the unit consistent, you might need to convert the unit of pressure from bar to Pa.arrow_forwardA mixture of 87.3 mole % methanol and 12.7 mole % isopropyl alcohol is vaporized at 101.325 kPa (absolute) until 900 moles of vapor and 100 moles of liquid in equilibrium with each other are produced. This occurs in a single-stage system and the vapor and liquid are kept in contact until equilibrium is achieved. Calculate the composition of the vapor and liquid. Note: Assume the system exhibits ideal behavior (which it mostly does), e.g. Raoult’s Law applies and an Antoine’s Vapor Pressure correlation is a sufficiently accurate model of component vapor pressure.arrow_forwardA closed container with constant volume insulated against heat is divided into two compartments by a steel curtain. Achamber contains 2 kg of water at 800 kPa pressure and 80 oC temperature. The other compartment isis empty (vacuum). Then the steel curtain is removed and the water fills the whole container. EndIn the equilibrium state, since the pressure of the water is 10 kPa, the final temperature of the water andCalculate the volume of the tank.arrow_forward

Tank 1 initially contains 150 grams of salt dissolved in 20 liters of water, while tank 2 contains 50 grams of salt dissolved in 10 liters of water. Beginning at time t = 0, pure water is pumped into tank 1 at a volumetric flow rate of 3 liters per minute. This causes brine to flow between the tanks, and to flow out of both tanks at the volumetric flow rates shown in the Fig. 2. Determine the salt concentration in each tank (C, and C2) at any time t>0.arrow_forward

Assuming there is no heat transfer between the gas and the tank, find the pressure in the tank at the end of the venting process and the fraction of the initial mass of gas remaining in the tank for each of the following cases. a) the equation of state of carbon dioxide is P(V_mol-b)=R*T. b) Carbon dioxide obeys the law of corresponding states. c) Carbon dioxide obeys the Peng-Robinson equation of state.arrow_forwardA 3.1 kg mass of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is contained within a closed system in a vertically arranged piston-cylinder device at a pressure of P1. Initially, 1.1067 kg of the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase. Heat is now transferred to the water, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches P2. Heat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 19 percent.
