Question: QUESTION 3 ( PO 2 , CO 2 , C 4 ) A system containing 2 . 5 kg of water undergoes a thermodynamic cycle.

QUESTION 3
(PO2, CO2, C4)
A system containing 2.5 kg of water undergoes a thermodynamic cycle. The system, initially at \(185^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and 550 kPa is heated at constant volume to 1100 kPa . Following that, the system undergoes isobaric process until water turns into saturated vapour. Then, the system is subjected to cooling in such a way that the volume remains unchanged. Finally, the system is isothermally expanded by receiving heat at 1015.8 kJ to its initial state.
a) Using a graph paper, draw T-v and P-v diagrams showing all values at each state.
b) Assuming both \(\triangle \mathrm{KE}\) and \(\triangle \mathrm{PE}\) are negligible, determine the heat transfer and work for each process involved. Show all calculations clearly.
c) Using one example, discuss the difference between isothermal and adiabatic process
