Reconsider Prob. 5-12. Using EES (or other) software, investigate the effect of pressure on the work done. Let the pressure vary from 400 to 1200 kPa. Plot the work done versus the pressure, and discuss the results. Explain why the plot is not linear. Also plot the process described in Prob. 5-12 on the P-v diagram.

Prob. 5-12

A frictionless piston-cylinder device initially contains 200 L of saturated liquid refrigerant-134a. The piston is free to move, and its mass is such that it maintains a pressure of 900 kPa on the refrigerant. The refrigerant is now heated until its temperature rises to 70°C. Calculate the work done during this process.
