A piston - cylinder device with a volume of 0 . 5 0 m 3 contain water at 3 2 0 kPa ( State 1

 

  •   A piston-cylinder device with a volume of 0.50m3 contain water at 320kPa (State 1). Initially, 25% of the mass is liquid and the 75% of the mass is vapor. Heat is added to the system until the piston is just touching the stopper (State 2). At this state, all the water exists 100% as vapor. Heating is continued until the pressure inside the piston reaches 500kPa (State 3). 
  •  a. What is the mass of water inside the piston? 
  •  b. Determine the boundary work from State 1 to State 3(in kJ). 
  •  c. Determine the amount of heat from State 1 to State 3(in kJ). 
  •  d. What is the final state and temperature of the water?
