A piston/cylinder arrangement B is connected to a 1-m³ tank A by a line and valve, shown in Fig. P3.240. Initially both contain water, with A at 100 kPa, saturated vapor and B at 400◦C, 300 kPa, 1 m³. The valve is now opened, and the water in both A and B comes to a uniform state.

a. Find the initial mass in A and B.

b. If the process results in T₂ = 200◦C, find the heat transfer and the work.
