A 1.00 ft3 well insulated rigid can initially contains refrigerant 134a at 90 psia and 30°F. Now a crack develops in the can and the refrigerant starts to leak out slowly. Assuming the refrigerant remaining in the can has undergone a reversible, adiabatic process, determine the final mass in the can when the pressure drops to 15 psia.

A closed, rigid steel tank contains 1 lbm of water, initially at 260 F and a quality of 60%. The tank is fitted with a paddle wheel and the water is stirred until the temperature is 350 F. The tank is well insulated on the outside and the steel is in thermal equilibrium with the water. The mass of the steel tank itself (not including water) is 60 lbm and the specific heat of the tank is 0.115 Btu/lbm·R. Changes...
