That is it. That is the whole problem statement. No specific gas or fluid was given.

Homework Statement A 500 m^3 tank is filled with saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 200 kPa. If 20% percent of mass is liquid and 80 percent of the mass is vapor, the total mass in the tank is? Homework Equations pV=mRT The Attempt at a Solution Don't have a clue... sorry

Homework Statement A rigid tank contains 5 kg of an ideal gas at 4 atm and T=40 deg C. Now, a valve is opened and half of the mass of the gas is allowed to escape. If the final pressure in the tank is 1.5 atm, the final temperature in the tank is? Homework Equations pV=mRT The...

Definitely not Main Steam. The Main Steam relief valves (around 10) are in the same area but do not use the Station Vent. I'm doing more research as we speak but apparently it is used for several different scenarios. It is predominantly used to purge/vent the Auxiliary bldg (not reactor bldg)...

Attached is a picture of the station vent I was inquiring about. Not sure what plant this is but it looks like a PWR.

Typically on PWR's (not sure about BWR's) there is always a rather large stack that is attached to the side outside of the Reactor Bldg. It is known as the station vent. Can anyone tell me what this is used for and how it works? Also, can anyone tell me if this is the same as what is know as...

1 W = 1 J/s. Watt is a unit of power; Joule is a unit of energy. Power is just the rate of energy per unit time. Thanks Astronuc So basically my previous question was erroneously worded due to your above explanation. Let me try a different question to see if I’m getting the hang of this...

If a nuke units has a DNC of 1000 MWe, is this capacity per sec, hour, day, or year? I'm "assuming" this capacity is per hour but then again a Watt is a unit of seconds. In other words, If a nuke unit has declared net capacity (DNC) of 1000 MWe, how long would the unit have to run at...

This is for all you System guys. What are the classifications for a valve to be considered an Active Component? Also, if the valve is classified as an Active Component does it automatically mean that the valve is a Safety Related Valve? I have several valves in my system (Check, Control...
