Here, the symbols with subscript t refer to the contents of the tank,
whereas H refers to the entering stream.
We illustrate here development of a simple expression for the first term on
the right. The1500 kg of liquid initially in the tank is unchanged during the
process. Similarly, the vapor initially in the tank that does NOT condense
is unchanged. The only two enthalpy changes within the tank result from:
1. Addition of 1000 kg of liquid water. This contributes an enthalpy change of
2. Condensation of y kg of sat. vapor to sat. liq.
This contributes an enthalpy change of
6.71 The steam remaining in the tank is assumed to have expanded isentropically.
