A 10-ft3 rigid vessel initially contains moist air at 20 lbf/in 2, 100 F, with a relative humidity of 10%. A supply line connected to this vessel by a valve carries steam at 100 lbf/in 2, 400 F. The valve is opened, and steam flows into the vessel until the relative humidity of the resultant moist air mixture is 90%. Then the valve is closed. Sufficient heat is transferred from the vessel so the temperature remains at 100 F during the process. Determine the heat transfer for the process, the mass of steam entering the vessel, and the final pressure inside the vessel.
