A mass of 0.3 kg of saturated refrigerant-134a is
contained in a piston-cylinder device at 240 kPa.
Initially, 70 percent of the mass is in the liquid phase. Now heat
is transferred to the refrigerant at
constant pressure until the cylinder contains vapor only.
(a) show the process on a P-v and T-v diagrams with respect to
saturation lines. Determine;
(b) the volume occupied by the refrigerant initially,
(c) the work done, and
(d) the total heat transfer.
