Q: The cylinder volume below the constant loaded piston has two compartments A and B filled with water. A has 0.5 kg at 200 kPa, 150oC and B has 400 kPa with a quality of 50% and a volume of 0.1 m3. The valve is opened and heat is transferred so the water comes to a uniform state with a total volume of 1.006 m3.
a) Find the total mass of water and the total initial volume.
b) Find the work in the process
