The regulator keeps the steam pressure constant by letting


1. A 0.2-m3 rigid tank equipped with a pressure regulator contains steam at 2 MPa and 300°C. The steam in the tank is now heated. The regulator keeps the steam pressure constant by letting out some steam, but the temperature inside rises. Determine the amount of heat transferred when the steam temperature reaches 500°C.

2. A 3-ft3 rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 300°F. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries steam at 200 psia and 400°F. 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.
