A rigid tank with a volume of 20 litres initially contains water at 0.1 degree of dryness and a pressure of 175 KPA. A steam disposal Valve is located at the top of the tank. Adding heat and steam by throwing the final case degree of dryness 0.4 and pressure 150 kPa is desired to be made. How much mass is ejected and what is the entropy produced. Heat source temperature 1000 K.
