A piston–cylinder assembly contains 2 lb of water, initially at 100 lbf/in.2 and 600°F. The water undergoes two processes in series: a constant-pressure process followed by a constant volume process. At the end of the constant-volume process, the temperature is 300°F and the water is a two-phase liquid–vapor mixture with a quality of 50%. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects. Determine the work and heat transfer for each process, all in Btu.

Water contained in a piston-cylinder assembly as shown in the Figure below, initially at 1.5 ??? and a quality of 20%, is heated at a constant pressure until the piston hits the stops. Heating then continues until the water is saturated vapor. Show the processes of the water in series on a sketch of the ?-? diagram. For the overall process of the water, evaluate the work and heat transfer, each in ??⁄??. Kinetic and potential effects are negligible. (please...

A piston–cylinder device initially contains 2 kg water in 1 m3 at 500 kPa. The system then cools down and the volume drops to half and pressure of 300 kPa. At this state, the piston is resting on a set of stops, and the mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 500 kPa is required to move it. (a) Show the process on a P-v, T-v and P-T diagrams with respect to saturation lines and determine, (b)...
