Question: 1 . Two adjacent tanks are connected by a valve. The tank on the left contains 0 . 5 kg of water at a pressure

1. Two adjacent tanks are connected by a valve. The tank on the left contains 0.5 kg of water at a pressure of 11 bar and a temperature of 600 K. The tank on the right contains 0.25 kg of saturated water at a temperature of 300 K and its quality is 0.4. If the valve between the tanks is opened and the tanks are allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the environment, what is the amount of energy transfer as heat out of the system assuming the environment temperature is 22 oC? Use the water thermodynamic property tables for data.
