Q6. A piston-cylinder device initially contains steam at 3.5 MPa , superheated by 5C. Now, steam
loses heat to the surroundings and the piston moves down, hitting a set of stops, at which point the
cylinder contains saturated liquid water. The cooling continues until the cylinder contains water at
200C. Determine (a) the initial temperature, (b) the enthalpy change per unit mass of the steam by
the time the piston first hits the stops, and (c) the final pressure and the quality (if mixture).
