A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.8m3 of saturated water vapor at 250 kPa. At this state, the piston is resting on a set of stops, and the mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 300 kPa is required to move it. Heat is now slowly transferred to the steam until the volume doubles. a. Indicate knowns and unknows for each state as well as what type ofprocess is performed to get from one state to another. State anyassumptionsb. Determine the final temperaturec. Determine the work done during the processd. Show the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation linese. Determine the total heat transferred during this process

Basic Thermodynamic Processes

The word 'thermodynamics' can be divided into two words, 'thermo' and 'dynamics'. The word thermo deals with the heat and thermal phenomenon, whereas dynamics deals with forces or external agent that drives the heat flow or aids in the motion of heat.
