A piston-cylinder device contains 50 kg of water at 250 kPa and 25 degree C. The cross-sectional area of the piston is 0.1 m2. Heat is now transferred to the water, causing part of it to evaporate and expand. When the volume reaches 0.2 m3 the piston reaches a linear spring whose spring constant is 100 kN/m. More heat is transferred to the water until the piston rises 20 cm more. Determine (a) the final pressure and temperature...

Problem 1 A piston-cylinder system contains a paddle stirrer (a paddle with blades that can stir the contents of the cylinder). The cylinder contains a gas that is initially at 150 kPa and occupies a volume of 0.196 m3 . The piston is unrestrained and has a cross-sectional area of 0.196 m2 . 20 kJ of electrical energy is supplied to the paddle stirrer, resulting in the piston moving up by 0.2 m.

A piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.6 m3 of saturated water vapor at 250 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 kPa is required to move it. Heat is now slowly transferred to the steam until the volume becomes 1.5 m3.
