Problem
A spring-loaded piston/cylinder arrangement contains R-134a at 20oC, 24% quality with a volume of 50 L. The setup is heated and thus expands, moving the piston. It is noted that when the last drop of liquid disappears, the temperature is 40oC. The heating is stopped when T = 130oC. Verify that the final pressure is about 1200 kPa by iteration and find the work done in the process.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
