Question: Two rigid tanks are separated by a thin partition. Tank A holds 2 . 3 kg of R - 1 3 4 a at 6

Two rigid tanks are separated by a thin partition. Tank A holds 2.3 kg of R-134a at 600
kPa and 40C. Tank B holds 3.4 kg of R-134a at 10C with a quality of 18%. When the
partition is removed the two sides mix and reach a state of thermal and mechanical
equilibrium. The final pressure at this state is 500 kPa .
What is the quality of the refrigerant at this final state?
What is the amount of heat transferred to the system? (Use the sign convention
discussed in class; i.e. heat in is positive, heat out is negative.)
