Superheated steam initially at 150?C and 0.3 MPa (state 1) is held in the device shown in the sketch. At state 1, the plunger is 0.6 m away from the cylinder, and the piston is 0.25 m 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 200 ?C. Determine the distance (m) and direction the piston moves.
