An insulated, rigid tank whose volume is 0.5 m3 is connected by a valve to a large vessel holding steam at 40 bar, 480°C. The tank is initially evacuated. The valve is opened only as long as required to fill the tank with steam to a pressure of 20 bar.
Determine:
(a) the final temperature of the steam in the tank, in °C, the final mass of the steam in the tank, in kg, and
(b) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K.
