Question: A piston/cylinder initially contains propane at T = 7C, quality 50%, and volume 10L. A valve connecting the cylinder to a line flowing nitrogen gas

A piston/cylinder initially contains propane at T = –7C, quality 50%, and volume 10L. A valve connecting the cylinder to a line flowing nitrogen gas at T = 20C, P = 1 MPa is opened and nitrogen flows in. When the valve is closed the cylinder contains a gas mixture of 50% nitrogen, 50% propane on a mole basis at T = 20C, P = 500 kPa. What is the cylinder volume at the final state and how much heat transfer took place?
