Mechanical Engineering

Rigid tank A and tank B (containing water) are connected to apiston cylinder with two valves as shown below. The piston cylinderassembly is initially (state 1) empty when the valves areclosed.

The pressure required to float the piston is 800kPa, the pistonis constantly loaded and is free to move. Now the valves are openedand the fluid reaches a uniform state at 250C within the system(state 2).

Determine: (a) The final volume (5 points) (b) The finalpressure (5 points) (c) The work done (5 points) (d) Show theprocess on a PV diagram (5 points) (e) The heat transfer

The initial conditions for tank A are: Mass=3kg T=120CVolume=0.6?3 The initial conditions for tank B are: P=600kPa T=200CVolume=0.4?3
