The piston cylinder contains 4 kg of saturated water vapor with 200 kPa. The heat is rejected from the water, and the piston moves from the stops when the pressure reaches 100 kPa. Then the heat is rejected until the total volume decrease to 30% from the initial volume. Determine the work done and heat transfer during this process, show the process on a P-V diagram.
