A mass of 0.2 kg of saturated refrigerant-134a is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 200 kPa. Initially, 75 percent of the mass is in the liquid phase. Now heat is transferred to the refrigerant at constant pressure until the cylinder contains vapor only. Show the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines. Determine (a) the volume occupied by the refrigerant initially, (b) the work done, and (c) the total heat transfer.
