Two rigid tanks are connected by a valve. Tank A is insulated and contains 0.2 m3 of steam at 400 kPa and 80 percent quality. Tank B is uninsulated and contains 3 kg of steam at 200 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 300 kPa. During this process 600 kJ of heat is transferred from tank B to the surroundings at 0°C. Assuming the steam remaining inside tank A to have undergone a reversible adiabatic process, determine
(a) The final temperature in each tank and
(b) The entropy generated during this process.
