Question: The spring - loaded piston - cylinder device shown in Fig. 1 is filled with 0 . 5 kg of water vapor that is initially

The spring-loaded piston-cylinder device shown in Fig. 1 is filled with 0.5 kg of water vapor that is initially at 4 MPa and 400C. Initially, the spring exerts no force against the piston. The spring constant in the spring force relation F=kx is k=0.9kNm and the piston diameter is D=20cm. The water now undergoes a process until its volume is one-half of the original volume. Calculate the final temperature and the specific enthalpy of the water.
