Two tanks (Tank A and Tank B) are separated by a partition. Initially Tank A contains 2-kg of water at 1 MPa and 300oC while Tank B contains 3-kg of water at 150oC with a 50 percent quality. The partition is now removed and the two sides are allowed to mix until the mechanical and thermal equilibrium are established. If the pressure at the final state is 300 kPa. Determine: a. The volume of the entire tank (Tank A combined with Tank B) (in m^3).
b. The temperature at the final state (in °C).
c. The quality of the steam (if mixture) at the final state.
d. The amount of heat lost from the tank (in kJ).
