A rigid reservoir with 3 m3 volume is connected to a supply line.
Initially the valve is closed and the reservoir contains steam at 800 kPa, and x = 0.8 quality.
The valve is opened and steam is allowed until the final pressure is 2.5 MPa and 250 C.
a- Determine the mass of steam entered to the reservoir.
b- If the pressure is 3.5 MPa and temperature is 350 C at the supply line, evaluate the transferred heat in kJ, and determine the direction of the heat.
