An insulated 40-ft3 rigid tank contains air at 50 psia and 120°F. A valve connected to the tank is now opened, and air is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 25 psia. The air temperature during this process is kept constant by an electric resistance heater placed in the tank. ­ Determine the elec- trical work done during this process.

Question

An insulated 40-ft3 rigid tank contains air at 50 psia

and 120°F. A valve connected to the tank is now opened, and air

is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 25 psia.

The air temperature during this process is kept constant by an

electric resistance heater placed in the tank. ­ Determine the elec-

trical work done during this process.
