Determine heat transfer to tank when half contents removed


A pressure vessel having a volume of 30 ft^3 contains saturated steam at 500 F. The vessel initially contains 50% vapor and 50% liquid by volume. Liquid is withdrawn slowly from the bottom of the tank, and heat is transferred to the tank in order to maintain constant temperature. Determine the heat transfer to the tank when half of the contents of the tank has been removed. The answer is 8400 Btu.
