... seen in the figure, the piston in a cylinder is
suspended by a spring as shown in the figure. The pressure inside the
cylinder always changes in proportion to its volume until the piston
touches the stoppers. When the piston reaches the stoppers, the volume of the cylinder is V2=188 liters.
At first, there is Pl=450kPa pressure and ml=6.183kg of water in the
cylinder. A =0129843kg of water is in the vapor phase. Then, heat
transfer occurs until all of the liquid evaporates.
a) Show the phase change of water on the P-V diagram. b) Calculate
the pressure and temperature when the piston touches the stoppers, c)final pressure and d) temperature. e) Calculate the work done
 ... seen in the figure, the piston in a cylinder is
