Answer

a) $T_2=39.4°C$ b) $m_i=2.40\ kg$ c) $Q_i=899\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

From tables A-11 to A-13: Initial ($x_1=0.55, T_1=14°C$): $v_1=0.02427\ m³/kg,\ u_1=162.57\ kJ/kg$ Final ($P_2=1\ MPa, x_2=1$): $v_2=0.02033\ m³/kg,\ u_2=250.71\ kJ/kg$ Entering ($P_i=1.4\ MPa, T_i=100°C$): $h_i=330.322\ kJ/kg$ a) $T_2=T_{sat}=39.4°C$ b) Given the tank volume of 0.3 m³, and $m=V/v$: $m_1=12.36\ kg,\ m_2=14.76\ kg$ From the material balance: $m_i=m_2-m_1$ $m_i=2.40\ kg$ c) From the energy balance: $Q_i+m_ih_i=m_2u_2-m_1u_1$ $Q_i=899\ kJ$
