Question:

An insulated vertical piston-cylinder device initially contains 15 kg of water, 13 kg of which is in the vapor phase. The mass of the piston is such that it maintains a constant pressure of 300 kPa inside the cylinder. Now steam at 2 MPa and 400°C is allowed to enter the cylinder from a supply line until all the liquid in the cylinder is vaporized. Assuming the surroundings to be at 25°C and 100 kPa, determine
(a) The amount of steam that has entered and
(b) The exergy destroyed during this process.
