A rigid tank has a known volume. Initially, the tank holds a saturated liquid+vapor mixture at a known pressure and quality. The tank is heated. Vapor leaves through a pressure-‐‐regulating valve until a new known quality (x2) is reached. (The pressure-‐‐ regulating valve maintains a constant pressure in the tank).
a. Determine the mass in the tank at the final state.b. Determine the heat added during the process.
