Clealry explain each process for full credit:
A 0.2 m^3 insulated tank A containing 3 kg water at ambient temperature (20 degress celsius) is connected by a valve to an uninsulated piston-cylinder device B that is initially evacuated (i.e. mB=0 at state 1). The tank contains an electrical resistance heater (that is originally turned off), and the mass of the piston is such that it requires a pressure of 1 MPa to displace it. The volume below the piston in cylinder 0.001 m^3 at the initial condition. With the valve closed, the electrical heater is turned on until all of the water in A has vaporized (state 2- saturated vapor). The valve is then opened, and steam is slowly allowed to flow until the pressure in A and B equalize, at which point the valve is closed (state 3). During this process, there is sufficient heat transfer between B and the environment to maintain the temperature inside B at ambient conditions. (Helpful Hints: Assume the piston moves and assume reversible adiabatic expansion for A from State 2 to 3)
a) Sketch the process path for Process (Tank) A ONLY on a T-s diagram with
Determine:
b) the temperature (K) and pressure (Kpa) in A at the end of the heating process,
c) the mass transferred from A to B (kg),
d) the work done on the piston (KJ)
e) the heat transfer (KJ) from B , and
f) the entropy generated (KJ/K)
