Question: 2 0 p t s A piston - cylinder device initially contains steam at 3 . 5 MPa , superheated by 5 C . Now,

20pts A piston-cylinder device initially contains steam at 3.5 MPa , superheated by 5C.
Now, steam loses heat to the surroundings and the piston moves down, hitting a set of stops,
at which point the cylinder contains saturated liquid water. The cooling continues until the
cylinder contains water at 200C. Determine
(a) The initial temperature
(b) The enthalpy change per unit mass of the steam by the time the piston first hits the
stops
(c) The final pressure and quality (if it is a mixture)
(d) Draw the T-v diagram for the process.
