Question: A cylinder having a piston restrained by a linear spring ( of spring constant 1 5 k N m ) contains 0 . 5 kg

A cylinder having a piston restrained by a linear spring (of spring constant 15kNm) contains 0.5 kg of superheated water vapor at 800C,500kpa, as shown in the figure below. Heat
is transferred from the water (cooling process), causing the piston to move down. If the piston cross-sectional area is 0.05m2, and the pressure varies linearly with volume until a
final pressure of 200 kPa is reached. Find
1- The final temperature and volume
2- The work and heat transfer for the process.
3- Draw the process on a P - v and T-v diagrams
