An insulated tank (Tank A)  of 0.6 m3 volume is connected to another insulated tank (Tank B) of 0.3 m3 volume. Initially tank A contains steam at 0.2 MPa and 300 0C and tank B contains wet steam at 0.5 MPa and a quality of 85%. The valve connecting the two tanks is opened, and flow occurs until equilibrium (both thermal and mechanical) is reached. Estimate the final pressure.

An insulated tank (Tank A)  of 0.6 m3 volume is connected to another insulated tank (Tank B) of 0.3 m3 volume. Initially tank A contains steam at 0.2 MPa and 300 0C and tank B contains wet steam at 0.5 MPa and a quality of 85%. The valve connecting the two tanks is opened, and flow occurs until equilibrium (both thermal and mechanical) is reached. Estimate the final pressure. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that:

Volume of tank A VA = 0.6 m3

Volume of tank A VB = 0.3 m3

Initially tank A contains steam at 0.2 MPa and 300 0C and tank B contains wet steam at 0.5 MPa and a quality of 85%.
