Transcribed Image Text:

A rigid vessel is divided into two compartments A and B by a freely floating piston. Compartment A contains 2 kg of air at 1 bar, 25°C, initially. Compartment B contains 1 kg steam-water mixture at 1 bar and quality of 50%. Now, heat is added to steam-water mixture until saturation. Assuming that there is no heat transfer between A and B, and that the pistor is frictionless & adiabatic, calculate the final states of the air and steam, and the heal transfer. Assume that the air in chamber A undergoes adiabatic compression A rigid vessel is divided into two compartments A and B by a freely floating piston.
