A.0.5 m® tank contains air at 800 K and 0.75 MPa, A valve is then suddenly opened and the air rushes out until the tank pressure drops to 0.15 MPa. The air in the tank at the end of the process may be assumed to have undergone a reversible adiabatic process. ‘Assume the dead state to be the environmental conditions given as Ty = 273.15 K and Pp = 0.10135 MPa. a) determine the final temperature [KX] and mass (Al in the tank: b) determine the availability [Aa] in tank before and after the valve is opened ©) determine the availability destroyed [kJ].
