Two rigid tanks are connected by a valve. Tank A is insulated and contains 0.4 m. of steam at 400 kPa and 65% quality. Tank B is not insulated and contains 3 kg of steam at 100 kPa and 250°C. The valve is now opened, and steam flows from tank A to tank B until the pressure in tank A drops to 100 kPa. During this process heat is transferred from tank B to the surroundings at 20°C at such a rate as to maintain the pressure inside tank B constant. Assuming that the steam remaining in tank A undergoes a reversible adiabatic process, determine (a) the final temperature in each tank (b) the heat transferred during this process (c) the entropy generated during this process.
