Problem 10CGP
A storage tank for natural gas has a top dome that can move up or down as gas is added to or subtracted from the tank, maintaining 110 kPa, 290 K inside. A pipeline at 110 kPa, 290 K now supplies some natural gas to the tank. Does its state change during the filling process? What happens to the flow work?

ANSWER:
Solution 10 CGP
Step 1 of 2
We have find whether the state of natural gas change during the filling process and also what happens to the flow work.
The state of natural gas in the storage tank depends on the pressure and temperature inside the tank and also the pressure and temperature of supplied natural gas through the pipeline.
Since the pressure and temperature(110 kPa, 290 K) of supplied natural gas is same as that inside the tank, the state of natural does not change during the filling process.
