Answer

a) $T_2=120.2°C$ b) $m_i=19.07\ kg$

Work Step by Step

From tables A-4 to A-6: Initial ($P_1=200\ kPa, x_1=0.6$): $h_1=1825.6\ kJ/kg$ Final ($P_2=200\ kPa, x_2=1$): $h_2=2706.3.3\ kJ/kg$ Entering ($P_i=0.5\ MPa, T_i=350°C$): $h_i=3168.1\ kJ/kg$ $T_2=T_{sat}=120.2°C$ From the material balance: $m_i=m_2-m_1$ From the energy balance: $m_ih_i=W_{b,e}+m_2u_2-m_1u_1$ $(m_2-m_1)h_i=m_2h_2-m_1h_1$ Since $m_1=10\ kg$: solving for the final mass $m_2=29.07\ kg$ Hence $m_i=19.07\ kg$
