Question
Q3/
A rigid, insulated tank that is initially evacuated is connected through a valve to a supply line that
carries steam at 1 MPa and 300°C. Now the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to flow slowly
into the tank until the pressure reaches 1 MPa, at which point the valve is closed. Determine the
final temperature of the steam in the tank.
Assumptions
1 This process can be analyzed as a uniform-flow process since the properties of the steam entering
the control volume remain constant during the entire process.
2 The kinetic and potential energies of the streams are negligible, KE=PE= 0.
3 The tank is stationary and thus its kinetic and potential energy changes are zero; that is, AKE =
APE = 0 and AEsystem =AUsystem.
4 There are no boundary, electrical, or shaft work interactions involved (W=0).
5 The tank is well insulated and thus there is no heat transfer (Q=0).
