A cylinder/piston arrangement contains 5 kg of water at 100°C with x = 20% and the piston, mP = 75 kg, resting on some stops, The outside pressure is 100 kPa, and the cylinder area is A = 24.5 cm2. Heat is now added until the water reaches a saturated vapor state. Find the initial volume, final pressure, work, and heat transfer terms and show the P–v diagram.

C.V. The 5 kg water. Continuty: m2 = m1 = m ;

Energy: m(u2 - u1) = 1Q2 - 1W2

Process: V = constant if P < Plift otherwise P = Plift see P-v diagram.
