Problem 225HP

A piston/cylinder setup contains 1 kg of ammonia at 20°C with a volume of 0.1 m3, as shown in Fig. P3.225 Initially the piston rests on some stops with the top surface open to the atmosphere, P0, so that a pressure of 1400 kPa is required to lift it. To what temperature should the ammonia be heated to lift the piston? If it is heated to saturated vapor, find the final temperature, volume, and heat transfer, 1Q2.
