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.

A volume of 8.62 m3 of air in a rigid, insulated container
fitted with a paddle wheel is initially at 322 K, 0.4 bar. The air
receives 481 kJ by work from the paddle wheel. Assuming the ideal
gas model with cv = 0.71 kJ/kg • K, determine for the air the
amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K.
