In a piston cylinder assembly as in the figure, 0.1 m3 of saturated water at 800 kPa pressure is in equilibrium with 0.9 m3 of saturated water vapor. Heat transfer occurs until the temperature inside the cylinder rises to 350 oC. Neglecting the frictional forces between the piston and cylinder: a) Show the process change in T − v and P − v diagrams, taking into account the saturation curves. b) Find the initial temperature of the water. c) Calculate the total mass of water. d) Calculate the volume in the final case.
