Solved: A 3-ft3 rigid tank initially contains saturated

Chapter 5, Problem 5116E

(choose chapter or problem)

A 3-ft3 rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 3008F. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries steam at 200 psia and 4008F. 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 3008F 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.
