Calculate the initial and final temperatures


A mass of 5kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 100 kPa. Initially, 2kg of the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase. Heat is now transferred to the water, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 200 kPa. Heat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 20 percent. Determine (a) the initial and final temperatures, (b) the mass of liquid water when the piston first starts moving, and (c) the work done during this process.
