(THERMODYNAMICS) A vertical cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 1.5 kg of H2O initially at 100 °C, 400 kPa. If the volume of the system reaches 0.5 m3, the piston hits a set of stops and is restrained from further upward travel. The system is heated to 200 °C.

A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains stops arranged as shown in the following figure. When the piston rests on the lower stops the volume is 0.4m3 ; when it is in contact with the upper stops the volume is 0.6m3 . If the piston is not in contact with the stops, it maintains a constant pressure of 200kPa in the cylinder. Initially, the cylinder contains air at P1=150kPa with a temperature of T1=300K.
