Question: A piston - cylinder device is equipped with a set of stops for the piston to rest on . It is initially filled with SV

A piston-cylinder device is equipped with a set of stops for the piston to rest on. It is initially
filled with SV of water at 250 kPa . Heat is first added at constant volume to increase the
pressure to 300 kPa to allow the piston to start moving. Further heat addition is then
accomplished under constant pressure until the volume is double the initial volume.
a. What is the final temperature (when the volume doubles)?
b. Calculate the boundary work involved in kJ.
c. What is the net heat transfer into the device, in kJ?*you may need to interpolate values
of specific internal energy and/or specific enthalpy if they are not available for the
temperature or pressure calculated during the solution.
d. Represent the process on a P-u diagram.
