Two tanks (tanks A & B) are separated by a partition. Initially, 

Two tanks (tanks A & B) are separated by a partition. Initially, Tank A contains 2-kg steam at 1 MPa and 300C while Tank B contains 3-kg saturated liquid- vapor mixture at 150C with a vapor mass fraction of 50%. The partition is now removed, and the two sides are allowed to mix until mechanical and thermal equilibrium are established. If the final P is 300 kPa, determine (a) the T and quality of the steam (if mixture) at the final state and (b) the amount of heat lost from the tanks. TANK B TANK A 2 kg 1 MPa 3 kg 150C -0.5 300C
