One kilogram of water at 300c expands against a piston in a


1. A piston/cylinder has 2 kg water at 1000 kPa, 200?C that is now cooled with a constant loading on the piston. This isobaric process ends when the water reaches a state of saturated liquid. Find the work and heat transfer and sketch the process in both a P-v and a T-s diagram.

2. One kilogram of water at 300?C expands against a piston in a cylinder until it reaches ambient pressure, 100 kPa, at which point the water has a quality of 90.2%. It may be assumed that the expansion is reversible and adiabatic. What was the initial pressure in the cylinder, and how much work is done by the water?
