(a) An insulated piston cylinder device contains 5 L of saturated liquid water at a constant pressure of 150 kPa. The cylinder was equipped with the electric heater inside it.

An insulated piston-cylinder device contains 5 L of saturated liquid water at a constant pressure of 175 kPa. Water is stirred by a paddle wheel while a current of 8 A flows for 45 min through a-resistor placed in the water. If one-half of the liquid is evaporated during this constant pressure process and the paddle-wheel work amounts to 400 kJ, determine the voltage of the source. Also, show the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
3. A piston-cylinder device initially contains 3 kg saturated liquid water at 500 kPa. Now heat is transferred to the water until the cylinder contains saturated vapor only.

A mass of 5.5 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is contained in a piston-cylinder at 101.325 kPa. Initially, 2.3 kg of the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase. Heat is now transferred to the water, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 300 kPa. Heat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 21 percent. Determine: a) the initial...
A mass of 5 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is contained in a piston- cylinder device at 125 kPa. Initially. 3 kg of the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase.

A electric heater in the device is turned on and passes a current of 1.7 A from a 120-V source. Only transfer of electrical work and boundary work exist. The piston initially rests on a set of stops, and a pressure of 200 kPa is required to move the piston. Afterwards the system continues to raise the piston and eventually...
