One kilogram of water is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 100 celcius. The piston rests on lower stops such that the volume occupied by the water is 0.835 m3. The cylinder is fitted with an upper set of stops. When the piston rests against the upper stops, the volume enclosed by the piston-cylinder device is 0.841 m3. A pressure of 200 kPa is required to support the piston. Heat is added to the water until the water exists as a saturated vapor. What is the moisture of the saturated mixture when the piston hits the upper stop?

A piston-cylinder assembly contains air at 210 kPa and occupies a volume of 0.01m. Thepiston is attached to one end of a spring and the other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Theforce exerted by the spring on the piston is proportional to the decrease in the length of thespring. The ambient atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Now, the air in the cylinder is heated tillthe volume is doubled and at this instant it is found that the pressure of the air in the cylinderis 600 kPa. Sketch the process on p-v diagram and calculate work done by the gas.
