Question

A piston–cylinder device, initially containing 0.25-kg steam at 3.5 MPa, is superheated 
by 4°C, i.e., the saturation temperature is raised by 4°C. Afterwards, the steam loses heat 
to the surroundings such that the piston moves down, hitting the stops; the cylinder 
contains saturated liquid water at this point. Hint: what is the type of boundary work 
done here? Is the work done by or done on the system? The cooling continues until the 
cylinder contains water at 205°C. Determine (a) the final pressure, in kPa, (b) the quality
at the final state, (b) the boundary work from state 1 to state 2, in kJ, (c) the amount of 
heat transferred when the piston first hits the stops, in kJ, (d) and the total amount of 
heat transferred for the system, in kJ. Is this heat added to or removed from the system?
