A vessel A of volume VA = 0.0235 m3 , in good contact with a bath at 400°C, contains m1 = 0.32 kg of steam. The vessel is connected through a pipe with a valve to a vertical adiabatic cylinder B that contains m2 = 1 kg steam at p2 = 200 kPa and T2 = 250°C (Figure P10.42). The pressure is maintained by a floating piston. The valve opens and steam fl ows from A to B. At the end of the process, the temperature in B was 150°C. a. What is the condition for the fl ow to stop? b. Find the final states at A and B. c. Find the work and heat interactions of the steam. d. Could the process exit?
