Question
A vertical cylinder is fitted with a freely-moveable piston of 0.2 m diameter and
contains 0.1 kg of (liquid) water.
At the initial State 1, the water remains in
equilibrium as saturated liquid at 15 "C with the piston applying a pressure of 7.0 bar
on the water in the cylinder. The water is then slowly heated until the piston rises to
a height of 0.6 m above its initial position to reach the equiliorium at State 2. The
piston is now held fixed at this location and the cylinder contents are further heated
to increase its pressure to 15 bar at State 3.
(a) Find the volume of water at State 1.
(b) Show that the cylinder contains saturated (wet) steam at State 2 and determine
its dryness fraction at this state.
(c) Find the steam temperature at State 3. On a T-v diagram, indicate the process
undergone by the contents of the cylinder from State 1 to State 3.
