Paper Details

A 0.1-m3 rigid tank contains saturated refrigerant- 134a at 800 kPa. Initially, 30 percent of the volume is occupied by liquid and the rest by vapor. A valve at the bottom of the tank is opened, and liquid is withdrawn from the tank. Heat is transferred to the refrigerant from a source at 60°C so that the pressure inside the tank remains constant. The valve is closed when no liquid is left in the tank and vapor starts to come out. Assuming the surroundings to be at 25°C, determine
(a) The final mass in the tank and
(b) The reversible work associated with this process.
