Answer:

Explanation:

As per the concept of plate tectonics, The continents are like rock plates moving on the magma underneath it and magnetism is a part of it.

As we know Earth spin on its axis, this interaction of Earth's spin and magnetic material inside the Earth creates a magnetic field from North to South pole.

When hot material inside the Earth cool, it solidify and the magnetic material form crystals which align themselves along the Earth's magnetic field.

Hence by this way Earth's magnetic pole reversal provide evidence for plate tectonics.

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 car

zhannawk [14.2K]

Explanation:

$Given\\V=3ft^3\\T_{1} =300^oF\\T_{L} =400^oF\\P_{L} =200psia\\V_{f} =0.5V$

We assume kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible and there is no work interactions.

a) Taking tank as a system, The energy balance can be define as

$E_{in}- E_{out}= E_{sys}$

$m_{i} h_{L} -Q_{out}=m_{2} u_{2}-m_{1} u_{1}$

The mass balance could be written as

$m_{in}- m_{out}= m_{sys} \\m_{i}= m_{2}- m_{1}$

The final pressure in the tank could be defined as following

$P_{2} =P_{sat300^oF}$

from standard steam table we know at

$T_{2}= T_{1}=300^oF\\ P_{2}=67.028psia$

b)

From steam table at

$T_{1} =300^oF\\v_{1}= v_{g}=6.4663ft^3/lbm\\v_{1}= v_{g}=1099.8Btu/lbm\\ v_{f} =0.01745ft^3/lbm\\v_{f} =269.51Btu/lbm\\$

$at\\P_{L} =200psia\\T_{L}=400^oF\\h_{L}=1210.9Btu/lbm$

initial mass in the tank could be define as

$m_{1}=\frac{V}{v_{1} } \\m_{1} =\frac{3}{6.4663} =0.464lbm\\$

Final mass in the tank could be define as

$m_{2}=\frac{V_{f} }{v_{f} }+\frac{V_{g} }{v_{g} } \\ m_{2} =\frac{1.5}{0.01745} +\frac{1.5}{6.4663} =86.2lbm$

The amount of steam that has entered the tank

$m_{i}=m_{2}- m_{1}\\ m_{i}=86.2-0.464=85.74lbm$

c)

The internal energy in final state could be defined as following

$U_{2}=m_{f} u_{f}+ m_{g} u_{g}\\ U_{2} =85.96*269.51+0.232*1099.8=23422Btu\\$

The heat transfer could be defined as following

$Q_{out}=m_{i} h_{L}+m_{1} u_{1}-m_{2} u_{2}\\ Q_{out}=85.74*1210.9+0.464*1099.8-23422=80910Btu$
