Question: Please help get those correct answers for part E and F: Water is held in a rigid tank with volume Vtank = 0 . 3

Please help get those correct answers for part E and F: Water is held in a rigid tank with volume Vtank =0.3 m^3.Initially the tank is filled with saturated liquid water at a pressure Ptank =900 kPa. The tank receives a heat transfer from a thermal reservoir at TH =200C causing the water to evaporate. An exit at the top of the tank allows only saturated vapor to escape and the tank pressure is held constant during the process. This process continues until all of the liquid has boiled away, leaving only saturated vapor. The entire process takes 1000 s to complete. The vapor leaving the tank enters a turbine that has an efficiency of 70%. The turbine exhausts to pressure 100 kPa.
a.) What is the temperature of the water in the tank (^(@)C)?
The correct answer is 175.4 C
b.) What is the mass of water that leaves the tank (kg)?
The correct answer is 266.2 kg .
c.) What is the total heat transfer to the tank ( kJ )?
The correct answer is 543306 kJ .
What is the mass flow rate leaving the tank (kg/s)?
The correct answer is0.2662 kg/s
e.) What is the rate of power produced by the turbine (kW)?
The correct answer is 69.5kW
f.) What is the total amount of entropy generated by the process (kJ/K)?Be careful of the system you are using - you do NOT have to account for any entropy generation that occurs downstream of the turbine exit.
The correct answer is 143 kJ/K
