Determine the internal energy of saturated liquid water at 225 kPa.
hi, can you solve this question ? The A and B tanks given in the figure are separated from each other by the closed valve between them. The water vapor in tank A has a volume of 0.2 m3, a temperature of 150 ° C and a pressure of 100 kPa. Tank B is filled with saturated water vapor in a volume of 0.3 m3 at a pressure of 300 kPa. Then, the valve between the tanks is opened and the final pressure is 175 kPa as a result of the mixing of the fluids in the tanks with each other and sufficient heat transfer. According to this:a) Temperature (C) and phase of the fluid in the final state;b) Find the amount of heat transfer in the process result.
