Question:

Superheated steam initially at 420 K and 0.3MPa (state 1) is held in the device shown in the sketch. At state 1, the plunger is 0.6m away from the cylinder, and the piston is 0.25m above the bottom of the cylinder. The plunger moves toward the cylinder until it just reaches the cylinder (i.e, the plunger moves 0.6 m). At this condition (state 2), the steam temperature is 480 K. Determine the distance (m) and direction in which the piston
moves.
