Find the quality of the steam at the final condition


Steam contained in a piston & cylinder appartus is initially at 200kPa, and x=0.8. This pressure is sufficient to hold the piston against a set of stops on the cylinder wall. The steam is cooled until at P=100kPa when the piston begins to descend in a constant pressure process. The cooling continues until the volume has been reduced to half of its original value. 1) What is the quality of the steam at the point when the piston first begins to descend (State 2)? 2) What is the quality of the steam at the final condition (State 3)?
