A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.8 m^3 of saturated water vapor at 275 kPa. At this state, the piston is resting on a set of stops, and the mass of piston is such that a pressure of 500 kPa is required to move it. Heat is now slowly transferred to the steam until the volume doubles. Show the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines and determine (a) the final temperature, (b) the work done duringthe process, and (c) the total heat transfer.
