A tank of 0.1 m3 volume initially containing nitrogen at 25 C and 1 bar will be filled with compressed nitrogen at a rate of 20 mol/s. The nitrogen coming from the compressor and into the tank is at an absolute pressure of 110 bar and a temperature of 80 C. The filling process occurs sufficiently rapidly that there is negligible heat transfer between the gas and the tank walls, and a valve is closed to stop the filling process when the pressure in the tank reached 100 bar. Assume nitrogen is an ideal gas with a Cp = 29.3 J/molK.

A) What is the nitrogen temperature immediately after the filling process ends?

B) How long did it take for the pressure of the gas in the tank to reach 100 bar?

C) After a sufficiently long period of time, due to heat transfer with the surroundings, the temperature of the gas drops to 25 C. What is the pressure of the nitrogen in the tank?

A rigid copper tank, initially containing 1 m3 of air at 295 K, 4 bar, is connected by a valve to a large supply line carrying air at 295 K, 15 bar. The valve is opened only as long as required to fill the tank with air to a pressure of 15 bar. Finally, the air in the tank is at 310 K. The copper tank, which has a mass of 20 kg, is at the same temperature as the...

A hole develops in the wall of an initially-evacuated, rigid tank of volume 1.5 m3 . The hole allows propane from the surroundings to flow into the tank at a pressure of 1 bar and a temperature of 5⁰ C until the pressure inside the tank reaches 1 bar. Heat transfer between the tank and the surroundings is negligible. Determine the final temperature in the tank in ⁰C and the final mass contained inside the tank in kg. Do Not...

A rigid tank, with a volume of 25 L, contains nitrogen at 355 K and 1.2 MPa. The tank is then cooled to 120 K. What work has been done and the heat transferred in this process? Data: Cv = 0.745 kJ/kgK, Cp = 1.042 kJ/kgK, MM(N2)=28 g/mol, R = 8.314 m^3 Pa/molK. Use the ratio PV = nRT to determine the amount of nitrogen contained in the tank.

A 0.6-m3 rigid tank is filled with saturated liquid water at 170 °C. A valve at the bottom of the tank is now opened, and one-half of the total mass is withdrawn from the tank in liquid form. Heat is transferred to water from a source of 210 °C so that the temperature in the tank remains constant. Determine (a) the amount of heat transfer and (b) the reversible work and exergy destruction for this process. Assume the surroundings to...

An evacuated 150-L tank is connected to a line flowing air at room temperature, 25oC, and 8 MPa pressure. The valve is opened, allowing air to flow into the tank until the pressure inside is 6 MPa. At this point the valve is closed. This filling process occurs rapidly and is essentially adiabatic. The tank is then placed in storage, where it eventually returns to room temperature. What is the final pressure and the amount of heat exchanged with the...

A nonconducting tank of negligible heat capacity and 1 m3 volume is connected to pipeline containing steam at 5 bar and 370℃, filled with steam to a pressure of 5 bar, and disconnected from the pipeline. If the tank initially contains steam at 1 bar and 150℃, how much steam is in the tank at the end of the filling process, and what is its temperature? Note: The answer is 1.56kg and 425c but I can’t figure out how to...

Q3. A tank with rigid walls and a volume of 0.05 m3 initially has a two-phase liquid- vapor mixture of ammonia at a pressure of 4 bar and a quality of 10%. The tank is then heated such that the pressure is kept constant through a pressure-regulating valve that allows saturated vapor to escape. The heating continues until the quality of the mixture in the tank is 40%. Assume kinetic and potential energy changes are insignificant. Determine: (i) The final...

An air compressor, operated at steady state, compresses air from 1 bar 25oC to 10 bar. At the outlet of the compressor, the air temperature is 80oC. The compressor transfers heat to the surroundings at 300kJ for each kg of air passing through the compressor. The average temperature at which the heat is transferred is 50oC. Which of the following values is closest to the specific entropy production of the compressor process? For air, Cp=1.01 kJ/kgK and R=0.286kJ/kgK. Hints: Air...
