Textbook Solutions for Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach

Chapter 5 Problem 5113

Question

A rigid, insulated tank that is initially evacuated is connected through a valve to a supply line that carries helium at 200 kPa and 1208C. Now the valve is opened, and helium is allowed to flow into the tank until the pressure reaches 200 kPa, at which point the valve is closed. Determine the flow work of the helium in the supply line and the final temperature of the helium in the tank.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 113 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A rigid, insulated tank that is initially evacuated is connected through a valve to a supply line that carries helium at 200 kPa and 1208C. Now the valve is opened, and helium is allowed to flow into the tank until the pressure reaches 200 kPa, at which point the valve is closed. Determine the flow work of the helium in the supply line and the final temperature of the helium in the tank.
From the textbook chapter Mass and Energy Analysis of Control Volumes you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
