Question: ( 1 ) A piston - cylinder device initially contains 0 . 5 kg of steam at 4 MPa and 4 0 0 C .

(1) A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.5 kg of steam at 4 MPa and 400C. Now the steam loses heat to the surroundings and the piston moves down, hitting a set of stops at which point the cylinder contains mixture with the quality of 0.25. The cooling continues until the cylinder contains water at 220C. Determine (a) the final pressure and quality (if mixture),(b) the boundary work, (c) the amount of heat transfer when the piston first hits the stops, and (d) the total heat transfer. (25%)
