The water in the two tanks of Problem 3.214 receives heat transfer from a reservoir at 300?C. Find the total entropy generation due to this process.
Problem 3.214
Two rigid tanks are filled with water (Fig. P3.214). Tank A is 0.2 m3 at 100 kPa, 150?C and tank B is 0.3 m3 at saturated vapor of 300 kPa. The tanks are connected by a pipe with a closed valve. We open the valve and let all the water come to a single uniform state while we transfer enough heat to have a final pressure of 300 kPa. Give the two property values that determine the final state and find the heat transfer.
