An insulated cylinder contains 1kg of water. The cylinder volume is 0.06 metres cubed and contents are held in place by a heavy piston at a pressure of 2 bar. The contents of the cylinder are then heated by an internal heater causing the piston to move up to the cylinder until the volume has increased to 1 metres cubed. 1) find the dryness fraction at the start of the process 2) calculate the final temperature of steam 3) how much heat has been added
