Question

Water enters a 2 m3 tank at a rate of 6 kg/s and is withdrawn at a rate of 2 kg/s. The tank is initially half full. What type of process is this?

Answer 1

Answer:

This process is semicontinuous.

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume = 2 m³

Enter flow rate = 6 kg/s

Exit flow rate = 2 kg/s

The tank is initially half full.

We need to find what type of process

Using given data,

This process is not continuous because given enter and exit flow rate is not equal.

This process is semicontinuous and the water level in the tank does not reach a constant level.

Hence, This process is semicontinuous.
