Question: Computational Problem ( 4 0 pts ) Water with an initial density of = 3 . 4 2 k g m 3 is contained in

Computational Problem (40 pts)
Water with an initial density of =3.42kgm3 is
contained in a piston-cylinder assembly shown. The mass
of the circular piston is 80 kg its area is 0.00795m2. The
atmospheric pressure of the surroundings is 1bar=100
kPa . The initial and final positions of the piston are shown
on the diagram. From the initial condition, the piston is
raised until it hits the stops. Then heat is transferred until
the pressure in the cylinder is 300 kPa . Friction between
the piston and the cylinder walls is negligible. (Use g=
9.81ms2)
a) Find the following for the initial state (If the phase description is a saturated mixture,
also find the quality):
T1(C),v1(m3kg), Phase description ,u1(kJkg),P1(kPa)
b) When the piston first hits the stops, find the following (If the phase description is a
saturated mixture, also find the quality):
T2(C),v2(m3kg), Phase description ,u2(kJkg),P2(kPa)
c) How much work was done on the water as the piston was raised from its initial
position to when it first hits the stops?
d) For the final state where P=300kPa, find the following (If the phase description is a
saturated mixture, also find the quality):
T3(C),v3(m3kg), Phase description ,u3(kJkg)
e) How much heat was transferred to the water from the time the piston first hit the
stops until the pressure reached 300 kPa ?
f) Sketch the entire process (state 1 state 2 state 3) on a T-v diagram
