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 saturated vapor water at 120C, as shown in the figure. Heat is transferred to the water, causing the piston to rise. If the piston's cross-sectional area is 0.05m2 and the pressure varies linearly with volume until a final pressure of 500 kPa is reached, find the final temperature in the cylinder and the heat transfer for the process. (Ans.803C,587kJ)
