A 0.3 m³ rigid tank contains refrigerant 134a at 650 kPa. Initially, 45% of the volume is occupied by liquid R-134a and the rest is occupied by vapor. When a valve at the bottom of the tank is opened, saturated liquid refrigerant leaves the tank. The valve is closed when tank is only occupied by saturated vapor. Heat is transferred to the tank to keep the temperature constant. How much refrigerant leaves the tank? What is the amount of heat transferred to the system? kg KJ
