PR.1- Consider a piston-cylinder arrangement where the frictionless piston is free to move. The cylinder contains 4 kg of water (H2O). Initially, the piston is stationary somewhere above the stops as shown in Figure 1. At this point, water is in a "saturated vapor state" and the temperature gauge reads 150 deg C. In an isobaric process from 1 to 2, the water in the cylinder is cooled until the piston comes to rest at the stops (See Fig.1). At this point, the water exists as a saturated mixture of liquid and vapor with a quality equal to 0.5.
(i) - What is the pressure of the water in the cylinder in kPa?
(ii) - What is the initial and final volume of the water in the cylinder in m^3?
(iii) - What is the total work done by (or on) the system during this process in kJ?
(iv) - What is the total heat transferred to (or from) the water during this process in kJ?
