Atank (initially empty) is attached to a steam line at 70 psia and 600ºf. a valve is opened and the tank is filled until the pressure is 70 psia. however, there is not sufficient time for the steam in the tank and the steam in the line to come to thermal equilibrium. the tank is insulated so that the filling process takes place adiabatically. the tank is in a cylinder with a diameter of 2 ft. and height of 4 ft .a) what mass of steam is in the tank after it is filled? b) what is the final temperature in the tank? c) in physical terms explain why the temperature in the tank is different than the temperature in the line after the tank is filled, it is disconnected from the line. unfortunately, it develops a leak. heat is added to keep the temperature constant (at the value determined from part (b) above) but the pressure drops to atmospheric (14.7 psia). d) how much steam leaked from the tank?
