Applying the Energy Balance

A piston–cylinder assembly containing water, initially a liquid at 50°F, undergoes a process at a constant pressure of 20 lbf/in.2 to a final state where the water is a vapor at 300°F. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the work and heat transfer, in Btu per lb, for each of three parts of the overall process: (a) from the initial liquid state to the saturated liquid state, (b) from saturated liquid to saturated vapor, and (c) from saturated vapor to the final vapor state, all at 20 lbf/in.2
