A piston/cylinder arrangement has a linear spring and the outside atmosphere acting on the piston, shown in Fig. P5.131. It contains water at 3 MPa, 400°C with the volume being 0.1 m3. If the piston is at the bottom, the spring exerts a force such that a pressure of 200 kPa inside is required to balance the forces. The system now cools until the pressure reaches 1 MPa. Find the heat transfer for the process.
