Question: Initially inside a rigid cylinder there is a certain amount of mass M of superheated water vapor at T 1 = 2 5 0

Initially inside a rigid cylinder there is a certain amount of mass M of superheated water vapor at T1=250\deg C and p1=1MPa with its initial specific internal energy u1. The circular lids of the cylinder are adiabatic, while the side wall is not. A metal coil is placed that absorbs the heat from the cylinder until the substance inside it reaches a final temperature T2=125\deg C and a specific internal energy u2. The volume of the cylinder is 0.23275 m^3
a) If there is no loss of energy when the coil absorbs heat, express the heat expelled by the substance as a function of M, u1, u2.
b) Find the specific volume v1 and the specific energy u1
c) Find the mass M
d) The value of the heat expelled by the substance if the quality in the final state is x2=0.3011
