Question

A cylinder/piston arrangement contains saturated water at 115°C with a volume of 0.1 L (state 1).The system is heated, causing the piston to rise and encounter a linear spring, as

shown in figure.At this point (state 2) the volume is 15 L, the piston diameter is 230 mm, and the spring constant is115 N/mm. The heating continues, so the piston compresses the spring until all the water becomes saturated vapor (state 3). Neglect the weight of the piston. Find the pressure and the mass of the water at the initial state (state ) Find the quality of the water at the state 2. :) Find the pressure and temperature of the water at the state 3. O Sketch the p-v diagram for the process. Explain what happens to the p-v diagram if we increase the stiffness of the spring. (10
