After being purged with nitrogen, a low-pressure tank used to store flammable liquids is at a total pressure of 0.03 psig. (a) If the purging process is done in the morning when the tank and its contents are at 55°F, what will be the pressure in the tank when it is at 85℉ in the afternoon? (b) If the maximum design gauge pressure of the tank is 8 inches of water, has the design pressure been exceeded? (c) Speculate on the purpose of purging the tank with nitrogen

Liquid flows at steady state at a rate of 2 lb/'s through a pump, which operates to raise the elevation of the liquid 100 ft from control volume inlet to exit. the liquid specific enthalpy at the inlet is 40.09 btu/lb and at the exit is 40.94 btub. the pump requires 3 btu/s of power to operate. if kinetic energy effects are negligible and gravitational acceleration is 32.174 tt/s, the heat transfer rate associated with this steady state process is most closely 1)-2,02 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings 2)-3.98 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 3)-4.96 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 4)-1.04 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings.
