In a closed system with a mobile border, a wet vapor with X = 1
is contained. The system undergoes heating keeping the plunger at
rest, however the pressure and temperature change to 2MPa and 800 °
c, respectively. Subsequently, the heating process continues at
constant pressure until the system reaches a temperature of 1300 °
c, generating an expansion process.
a) estimate the initial pressure of the system
b) calculate the work done by the steam
c) calculate the total heat transferred to the water vapor
d) represent the process on a T-v diagram
