Mr Alvin wanted to find out more about saturated liquid-vapour mixture. He fabricated a piston-cylinder system which contains 1.5 kg of steam at 1.00 MPa and 350°C. The steam is cooled at a constant pressure until half of the mass condenses. a) Deduce the quality of vapour after the cooling process. b) Calculate the volume change for the entire process (in m3). c) Sketch the P – V diagram for this process. d) Determine the work done for this process (in kJ). e) Is it work done on or by the system and why?
