A vertical cylinderpiston arrangement contains 0.3 lb m of H 2 O (liquid and vapor in equilibrium)

Question:

A vertical cylinder–piston arrangement contains 0.3 lbm of H2O (liquid and vapor in equilibrium) at 120 F, as shown in the sketch for the previous
problem. Initially, the piston rests on the stops, and the volume beneath the 250-lbm piston is 1.054 ft3. The piston area is 120 in2. The atmospheric pressure is 14.7 lbf /in2, and the gravitational acceleration is 30.0 ft/s2. Heat is transferred to the arrangement until only saturated vapor exists inside.

A. Show this process on T –V and P –V diagrams.

B. Determine the moving boundary work done (Btu) by the H2O system.
