Question: A piston - cylinder device initially contains 0 . 2 k g of steam at 2 0 0 kPa and 3 0 0 C .

A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.2kg of steam at 200kPa and 300C. Now, the steam is cooled at constant pressure until it is at 150C.
a. Determine the volume change, V(m3), of the cylinder during this process using steam tables.
b. Knowing that the compressibility factors, Z1=0.9956 and Z2=0.9897 calculate the volume change, V(m3), and compare the result to part a.R=0.4615kPa*mkg*K
 A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.2kg of steam at 200kPa and
