A closed container with a volume of 2 m3 contains 4 kg of saturated liquid and saturated steam mixture water at 200 kPa pressure. Heat is given from the ambient temperature of 160⁰C until the water in the container is completely saturated. Note: T (K) = 273 + ºC
a) Find the entropy change of the system.
b) Find the heat transfer to the container.
c) Find the total entropy change.
