Transcribed Image Text:### Problem 3.76
A piston-cylinder assembly fitted with stops contains 0.1 kg of water, initially at 1 MPa, 500°C. The water undergoes two processes in series:
#### Process 1–2
Constant-pressure cooling occurs until the piston face rests against the stops. The volume occupied by the water becomes one-half of its initial volume.
#### Process 2–3
With the piston face resting against the stops, the water cools to 25°C.
**Task:**
Sketch the two processes in series on a \( p-v \) (pressure-volume) diagram. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, evaluate the work and heat transfer for each process, measured in kJ.
#### Explanation of Diagrams
- Illustrate Process 1–2 as a horizontal line on the \( p-v \) diagram, signifying constant pressure while the volume decreases to half.
- Show Process 2–3 as a vertical line at constant volume, indicating the cooling of water at the stops.
Evaluate the work done and heat transfer for each process separately.
