A piston–cylinder device initially contains of saturated

Chapter 4, Problem 37P

(choose chapter or problem)

A piston-cylinder device initially contains \(0.8 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\) of saturated water vapor at \(250 \mathrm{kPa}\). At this state, the piston is resting on a set of stops, and the mass of the piston is such that a pressure of \(300 \mathrm{kPa}\) is required to move it. Heat is now slowly transferred to the steam until the volume doubles. Show the process on a \(P-V\) diagram with respect to saturation lines and determine (a) the final temperature, (b) the work done during this process, and (c) the total heat transfer.
