### Thermodynamics Problem: Piston-Cylinder Device#### Problem Statement:A piston-cylinder device initially contains 2.4 kg of saturated liquid water at 160°C. Heat is transferred to the water until the volume triples, and the cylinder contains saturated vapor only. Determine:(a) The volume of the tank (b) The final temperature and pressure (c) The internal energy change of the water #### Diagram:The diagram depicts a simple piston-cylinder setup with the following initial conditions:- Substance: H₂O- Mass: 2.4 kg- Temperature: 160°CAn energy input, denoted by Q, is transferred to the system causing a phase change.#### Solution:To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:1. **Determine the initial volume of the saturated liquid water.**2. **Calculate the final volume of the water after heating.**3. **Identify the properties of the saturated vapor at the final state (Volume, Temperature, and Pressure).**4. **Compute the internal energy change.**##### Step-by-Step Solution:1. **Initial Volume:** - Use the saturated water tables to find the specific volume (v_f) of saturated liquid water at 160°C. - The specific volume of water (v_f) at 160°C can be found to be approximately 0.001053 m³/kg. - Initial volume (V_i) = mass × specific volume = 2.4 kg × 0.001053 m³/kg = 0.0025272 m³.2. **Final Volume:** - Given that the volume triples upon heating: - Final volume (V_f) = 3 × Initial volume = 3 × 0.0025272 m³ = 0.0075816 m³.3. **Final State Properties:** - Since the water is converted to saturated vapor upon heating: - At 160°C, the specific volume of saturated vapor (v_g) is 0.39279 m³/kg. - Using this to find final volume: - V_f = mass × specific volume - 0.0075816 m³ = 2.4 kg × v_g - Since v_g for saturated vapor at 160°C is consistent and matches: - Pressure stays at the saturation pressure at 160°C, which is 618.78 k

A piston-cylinder arrangement contains water at 110°C, 85% quality with a volume of 1 L. What is the initial mass, in grams? The system is heated, causing the 150-mm-diameter piston to rise and encounter a linear spring with k = 800 kN/m.
