Question:
A well-insulated cylinder, fitted with a frictionless piston, initially contained 9 kg of liquid water and 0.4 kg of water vapor at a pressure of 1.4 MPa. 2 kg of steam at 1.6 MPa was admitted to the cylinder while the pressure was held constant by allowing the piston to expand.
(a) Write the energy balance for this process.
(b) If the final volume of the contents of the cylinder was six times the initial volume, determine the temperature of the superheated steam that was admitted to the cylinder.
