An insulated rigid tank initially contains 1.4-kg saturated liquid water and water vapor at 200°C. At this state, 25 percent of

the volume is occupied by liquid water and the rest by vapor. Now an electric resistor placed in the tank is turned on, and the tank is observed to contain saturated water vapor after 20 min. Determine:
(a) the volume of the tank

(b) the final temperature

(c) the electric power rating of the resistor

Solution:

Mass of liquid water and water vapor in the insulated tank initially = 1.4 kg

Temperature = 200 °C

And 25% of the volume by liquid water is steam.

State 1

$m=\frac{V}{v}$

$m=m_f+m_g$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{v_f}+\frac{0.75V}{v_g}$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{1.1565 \times 10^{-3}}+\frac{0.75V}{0.1274}$       (taking the value of $v_g$ and $v_g$ at 200°C  )

$V=6.304 \times 10^{-3}$

Now quality of vapor

$x=\frac{m_g}{m}$

  $=3.377 \times 10^{-3}$

Internal energy at state 1 can be found out by

$u_1=u_f+xu_{fg}$

    $=850.65+3.377\times10^{-3}\times 1744.65$

    = 856.54 kJ/kg

After heating with the resistor for 20 minutes, at state 2, the tank contains saturated water vapor $v_2=v_g \text { and }\ x=1$

Tank is rigid, so volume of tank is constant.

$v_g=v_2=\frac{V}{m}$

$v_g=\frac{6.304\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}$

$v_g=4.502 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3 /kg$

Now interpolate the value to get temperature at state 2 with specific volume value to get final temperature

$T_2=360+(374.14-360)\left(\frac{0.004502-0.006945}{0.003155-0.006945}\right)$

   = 369.11° C

Internal energy at state 2

$u_2=2154.9 \ kJ/kg$

Now power rating of the resistor

$P=\frac{m(u_2-u_1)}{t}$

$P=\frac{1.4(2154.9-856.54)}{20 \times 60}$

  = 1.51 kW

the force that is exerted when a shopping cart is pushed. the forces that causes a metal ball to move toward a magnet
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The force that is exerted when a shopping cart is pushed is a type of push force, supplied by the muscles of the cart pusher's body.

The forces that causes a metal ball to move toward a magnet is a type of pull force that is as a result of the magnetic field forces.

Explanation:

Forces are divided into push forces that tends to accelerate a body away from the source of the force, and pull forces that accelerates the body towards the force source.

Examples of push forces includes pushing a cart, pushing a table, repulsion of two similar poles of a magnet etc. Examples of pull forces includes a attractive force between two dissimilar poles of a magnet, pulling a load by a rope, a dog pulling on a leash etc.
