Question: Problem # 4 ( 1 0 points ) Steam at constant pipeline conditions of 3 0 0 kPa and ( 2 5 0

Problem \#4(10 points)
Steam at constant pipeline conditions of 300 kPa and \(250^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) passes slowly through a valve into a well-insulated, frictionless, and initially evacuated piston-cylinder assembly. A pressure of 100 kPa in the cylinder is needed to support the piston due to its own weight and the ambient atmosphere. The volume under the piston is \(5\mathrm{~m}^{3}\) with 0.5 kg of water inside the cylinder at the end of the process.
Find: (a) the boundary work done during this process, (b) the final temperature of the water in the cylinder, and (c) the phase of water in the cylinder at the final state (please calculate quality if it is a saturated mixture).
