A piston encloses 1 lbm of water in an initial volume of 0.3 ft^3. The initial temperature is 120F. The piston leaves the stops at a pressure of 150 psia. The water is heated from it's initial state to a final temperature of 400F.

a) Draw the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.

b) Evaluate the work done by the H2O.

c) Determine the volume occupied by the liquid at the initial state and when the piston leaves the stops.

A water tower supplies water to a city through a pipe with 1 ft diameter. The pipe is 0.5 miles long and is made of commercial steel pipe. Over the years, the supply line lost head and engineers are considering the replacement of 94 percent of the pipe length with a larger diameter pipe (same type). The peak water demand is 3.53 ft3/sec. How much pressure head could be gained by this strategy?
