A piston-cylinder assembly initially contains 3.0 kg of H2O at 200 °C and 0.7 MPs. The water undergoes two processes in series:

Process 1-2: A constant Pressure Process.

Process 2-3: A constant Volume process.

At the end of the constant Volume Process, the temperature is 150 °C and the water is a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture with a quality of 40%.

1. Establish your Engineering Model

2. Find the pressure (P), temperature (T), quality (X), specific volume (v), internal energy (u), and enthalpy (h) and fill in a chart for the 3 states

3. Sketch the processes on P-v and T-v diagrams.

4. Find the total amount of heat transfer.

5. The total amount of work.
