In an experiment there are 3 types of variables: 1) a control variable (does NOT change), 2) an independent variable (the thing that changes) and 3) a dependent variable (what are we measuring in the experiment?) In this engineering experiment, what would you list as the CONTROL (stays the same) variable? *

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
