The steam in the circular cylinder of Fig. 3.46 has an initial quality of 10%. Heat is added until the temperature of the steam reaches 500°C. The frictionless piston rises 50 mm before it hits the stops. Determine, using
a) The steam tables and
b) The IRC Calculator:
i) The initial pressure of the steam
ii) The mass of the steam
iii) The temperature when the piston hits the stops
iv) The final pressure of the steam
v) The work of the steam on the piston
