Determine the initial amount of steam in the tank


A well insulated storage tank of 60m3 contains 200 L of liquid water at 75 deg C. The rest ofthe tank contains steam in equilibrium with the water. Spentprocess steam at 2 bar and 90 percent quality enters the storage tank until the pressure in the tank reaches 2 bar. Assuming that the heat losses from the system to the tank and the environment are negligible, calculate the total amount of steam that enters the tank during the filling process and the fraction of liquid water present at the end of the process.Answers in the textbook: Initial amount of steam in the tankis 194.9 kg. At end of the process there is 215.3 kg of liquid and 67.5 kg of steam. Fraction of contents by weight that is liquid is 0.761.
