Question: A piston cylinder device, whose piston is resting on a set of stops, initially contains 5 kg of liquid - vapor mixture at 1 0

A piston cylinder device, whose piston is resting on a set of stops, initially
contains 5kg of liquid-vapor mixture at 100C with x=20%.The mass of the piston is such
that a pressure of 400kPa is required to move it.Heat is now added until the water reaches the saturated vapor state. Show the proses on a P-v diagram.
a)the initial volume of mixture in m^3,b)the final temperature of the saturated vapor,
c)the work done for the overall process, d)the heat is transfer red during this process.
