Water initially at 300 kPa and 250C is contained in a piston-cylinder 

Water initially at 300 kPa and 250C is contained in a piston-cylinder device fitted with stops. The water is cooled at constant pressure until it exists as a saturated vapor and the piston rests on the stops. Then the water continues to cool until the pressure is 100 kPa. On the T-v diagrams sketch, with respect to the saturation lines, the process curves passing through both the initial, intermediate, and final states of the water. Label the T, Pand w values for end states on the process curves. Find the overall change in internal energy between the initial and final states per unit mass of water. Water 300 kPa 250C
