Question:
Reconsider Prob. 8–41. Using appropriate software, study the effect of final pressure in the tank on the exergy destroyed during the process. Plot the exergy destroyed as a function of the final pressure for final pressures between 45 and 5 kPa, and discuss the results.
Data From Q#41:
A rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. One part of the tank contains 4 kg of compressed liquid water at 200 kPa and 80°C and the other side is evacuated. Now the partition is removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. If the final pressure in the tank is 40 kPa, determine the exergy destroyed during this process. Assume the surroundings to be at 25°C and 100 kPa.
