Question:

A piston–cylinder device has an initial volume of 0.003mand contains dry, saturated water vapor at 200°C. A connecting rod  attached to the piston and transfers work to (or from) the device. The piston then moves out until the volume reaches 0.015m3. The final pressure of the steam is 0.25 MPa, and the atmospheric pressure acting on the outside of the piston is 101.3 kPa. The process occurs rapidly enough that it may be assumed to be adiabatic. Draw a T–v diagram to guide your solution. Use the NIST software to obtain properties and determine the following:
A. The work transfer (kJ) from the steam    
B. The work transfer (kJ) to the atmosphere
C. The work transfer (kJ) from the piston to the connecting rod
