Chapter 5.5, Problem 119P
An insulated 40-ft3 rigid tank contains air at 50 psia and 120°F. A valve connected to the tank is now opened, and air is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 25 psia. The air temperature during this process is kept constant by an electric resistance heater placed in the tank. Determine the electrical work done during this process.

An insulated 40-ft3 rigid tank contains air at 50 psia
and 120°F. A valve connected to the tank is now opened, and air
is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 25 psia.
The air temperature during this process is kept constant by an
electric resistance heater placed in the tank. Determine the elec-
trical work done during this process.
A 3-ft3 rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 300°F. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries steam at 200 psia and 400°F. Now the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank. Heat transfer takes place with the surroundings such that the temperature in the tank remains constant at 300°F at all times. The valve is closed when it is observed that one-half of the volume of the tank is occupied by liquid water. Find (a) the final pressure in the tank, (b) the amount of steam that has entered the tank, and (c) the amount of heat transfer.

A 40-L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a 50-m³ room. Both the room and the oil in the radiator are initially at 10°C.
The radiator with a rating of 2.4 kW is now turned on. At the same time, heat is lost from the room at an average rate of 0.35 kJ/s. After
some time, the average temperature is measured to be 20°C for the air in the room, and 50°C for the oil in the radiator. Taking the
density and the specific heat of the oil to be 950 kg/m3 and 2.2 kJ/kg-°C, respectively, determine how long the heater is kept on.
Assume the room is well sealed so that there are no air leaks. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa-m³/kg-K (Table A-1). Also, c =
0.718 kJ/kg-K for air at room temperature (Table A-2). Oil properties are given to be p = 950 kg/m³ and
Cp = 2.2 kJ/kg.°C.

The pressure of the superheated steam flowing in the pipe is 2.8 MPa and the temperature is 580oC.
