A piston–cylinder device initially contains steam at 4.5 MPa, superheated by 15°C. Steam loses heat to the surroundings and the cooling continues until the cylinder contains water at 250°C. During cooling, the piston moves down hitting a set of stops at which point the cylinder contains saturated liquid water. Determine (a) the initial temperature, (b) the enthalpy change per unit mass of the steam by the time the piston first hits the stops, and (c) the final pressure and the quality (if mixture). (a) the initial temperature, (b) the enthalpy change per unit mass of the steam by the time the piston first hits the stops, and (c) the final pressure and the quality (if mixture).
