3.100 A tank contains 2 kg of nitrogen at 100 K with a quality of 50%. Through a volume flowmeter and valve, 0.5 kg is now removed while the temperature remains constant. Find the final state inside the tank and the volume of nitrogen removed if the valve/meter is located at a. The top of the tank b. The bottom of the tank Solution Table B.6.1: v1 = 0.001452 + x1 Ă&#x2014; 0.029764 = 0.016334 m3/kg Vtank = m1v1 = 0.0327 m3 m2 = m1 - 0.5 = 1.5 kg v2 = Vtank/m2 = 0.0218 < vg(T) 0.0218-0.001452 x2 = 0.031216-0.001452 = 0.6836
