Question
A tank contains 12 kg of R134a, initially at 2°C with a quality
of 0.2. The pressure is held constant by nitrogen gas acting
against a flexible bladder as shown. The valve is opened
between the tank and a supply line carrying R134a at 1.0
MPa, 120°C. The pressure regulator allows the pressure in
the tank to remain constant as the bladder expands. The
valve between the line and the tank is closed at the instant
when the quality is 0.95. If the entropy generation amounts
to 1 kJ/K, determine the (a) mass of R134a admitted to the
tank, in kg and the (b) heat transferred in kJ. Use AT (K) =
AT (°C) + 273. Show your mass, energy, and entropy
balance equations at the start of your solution.
