Question 3 An insulated 1.15 m³ rigid tank contains air at 350 kPa and 50°C. A valve connected to the tank is now opened and air is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 175 kPa. The air temperature during this process is kept constant by an electric resistance heater placed in the tank. Determine the electric work done during this process. The air is considered ideal gas with R-0.287 kPa m³/kg.K. At T-50 °C-323 K, h-323.30 kJ/kg and u-230.58 kJ/kg. Air V=1.15 m³ P= 350 kPa iT=50°C Wein

Question 3
An insulated 1.15 m³ rigid tank contains air at 350 kPa and 50ºC. A valve
connected to the tank is now opened and air is allowed to escape until the
pressure inside drops to 175 kPa. The air temperature during this process is kept
constant by an electric resistance heater placed in the tank. Determine the
electric work done during this process. The air is considered ideal gas with
R-0.287 kPa m³/kg.K. At T-50 °C-323 K, h-323.30 kJ/kg and u-230.58
