  1. Lecture 17 Unsteady State (Transient) Analysis

  2. What is a Transient Process? A transient process occurs whenever the time derivative related to the system gain (or loss) is not zero ... Emptying a tank Filling a tank

  3. Example – Problem 6.61

  4. Example – Filling a Tank Given: Filling a rigid tank with oxygen Use the ideal gas model for oxygen properties Find: The heat transfer required to fill the tank isothermally

  5. Example The First Law for the system is,

  6. Example So far, the following expression for the system has been developed, Some observations ... • The problem asks for the heat transferred (total energy) but the First Law has a heat transfer rate • How do I know what the mass flow rate into the tank is? Is this a constant value? • How do I represent the derivative on the RHS?

  7. Example The mass flow rate in is contained in the conservation of mass, Making this substitution into the First Law, Multiply both sides by dt,

  8. Example This equation can be integrated over the time of the filling process,

  9. Example Substituting and rearranging, Can stop here with EES The oxygen is being modeled as an ideal gas. Therefore, Substitution into the First Law results in,

  10. Example Finally, doing the calculations ... What is Ti? There is a valve between the tank and the line. However, we know that a valve is isenthalpic. Since enthalpy is constant and the substance is being modeled as an ideal gas, the throttling process is also isothermal. Therefore, The heat transfer is from the oxygen (the assumed direction was wrong)
