Question

A cylinder having a piston restrained by a linear spring (of spring constant 15 kN/m) contains 0.5 kg of saturated vapor water at 120°C, as . Heat is transferred to the water, causing the piston to rise. If the piston cross-sectional area is 0.05 m², and the pressure varies linearly with volume until a final pressure of 500 kPa is reached. Find the final temperature in the cylinder and the heat transfer for the 

Answer 1

C.V. Water in cylinder.
