A200.0-liter water tank can withstand pressures up to 20.0 bar absolute before rupturing. at a particular time the nk contains 165.0 kg of liquid water, the fill and exit valves are closed, and the absolute pressure in the vapor head space above the liquid (which may be assumed to contain only water vapor) is 3.0 bar. a plant technician turns on the tank heater, intending to raise the water temperature to 155°c, but is called away and forgets to return and shut off the heater. let ti be the instant the heater is turned on and 12 the moment before the tank ruptures. use the steam tables for the following calculations (a) determine the water temperature, the liquid and head-space volumes (l), and the mass of water vapor in the head space (kg) at time t (b) determine the water temperature, the liquid and head-space volumes (l), and the mass of water vapor (g) that evaporates between t1 and 12. (hint: make use of the fact that the total mass of water in the tank and the total tank volume both remain constant between t1 and 12.) (c) calculate the amount of heat (kj) transferred to the tank contents between t1 and 12. give two reasons why the actual heat input to the tank must have been greater than the calculated value. (d) list three different factors responsible for the increase in pressure resulting from the transfer of heat to the tank. (hint: one has to do with the effect of temperature on the density of liquid water.) (e) list ways in which this accident could have been avoided. (f) one of the suggestions you may have made in part (c) is to put a relief valve on the top of the tank. suppose that one had been installed and that it was designed to open when the tank pressure reached 10 bar. the design calls for the opened valve to allow steam to escape into a pipe that vents it to the atmosphere. at what temperature would the valve open? at what rate would the relief valve need to release steam (kg/kj of added heat) in order to keep the tank pressure from rising above 10 bar?

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?

1kg of water contained in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes in series from an initial state where the pressure is 3.0 bar and the temperature is 150°c process 1-2: the water is compressed isothermally to a volume of 0.25 m^3 with 120 kj of work being done to the system. process 2-3: the water is heated at constant volume to a final pressure of 10 bar. a. find the change in internal energy for the system. b. calculate the amount of heat transferred, in kj. c. sketch both processes on a t-v diagram. (196.33 kj/kg, 76.33 kj)
