A piston and cylinder device contains 0.15 kg of water at 25◦C (state 1). As shown in the figure, the piston weighs 500 N and has a cross-sectional area of 0.01 m2. Atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Heat is transferred to the cylinder from a reservoir at 200◦C, raising the piston. When the piston touches the stops, the volume inside the cylinder is Vmax= 0.165 m^3 (state 2). Heat continues to be transferred until the control mass reaches the boundary temperature (state 3). Determine: a) The initial pressure of the water (kPa) b) The temperature (Celsius) when the piston hits the stops c) The total work (kJ)
