A mass of 3 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 175 kPa. Initially, 2 kg of the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase. An electrical heater is in operation, and the piston rises until it hits a set of stops, which are set at double the initial volume. Electrical heating continues until the pressure reaches 500 kPa. Determine (a) the initial and final temperatures, (b) the mass of liquid water when the piston first hits the stops, and (c) the electrical work done during this process. Show all equations.

Refrigerant 134a, initially (state 1) a saturated liquid at -80C, is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly. The water undergoes a process to the corresponding saturated vapor (state 2), during which the piston moves freely in the cylinder. The change of state is brought about by heating the water as it undergoes an internally reversible process at constant pressure and temperature. If the mass of the refrigerant is 0.1 kg, determine (a) heat transfer using first law of thermodynamics in kJ...
