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 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.

Saturated water vapor which is initially at 500 kPa is contained in a piston-cylinder device arranged to maintain a constant temperature. The piston is now moved until the water becomes a saturated liquid. How much work and how much heat (in kJ/kg) are transferred during this process?
A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 373K. During a constant pressure process, 600 kJ of heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 300K. Asa result, part of the water vapor contained in the cylinder condenses.

Problem 6.024 SI Two kilograms of water contained in a piston-cylinder sembly, initially saturated vapor at 340 kPa, is condensed at constant pressure to saturated liquid. Consider an enlarged system consisting of the water and enough of the nearby surroundings that heat transfer occurs only at the ambient temperature of 25°C.
