Transcribed Image Text:in the figure shown, the system is a pure substance
kept in a piston-cylinder arrangement. The system is
initially a two-phase mixture containing 1 kg of liquid
and 0.03 kg of vapour at a pressure of 100 kPa. Initially.
the piston rests on a set of stops, a shown in the figure.
A pressure of 200 kPa is required to exactly balance the
weight of the piston and the outside atmospheric
pressure. Heat transfer takes place into the system until
its volume increases by 50%. Heat transfer to the system
occurs in such a manner that the piston, when allowed
to move, does so in a very slow (quasi-static/quasi-
equilibrium) process. The thermal reservoir from which
heat is transferred to the system has a temperature of
400°C. Average temperature of the system boundary
can be taken as 175°C. The heat transfer to the system
is 1 kJ, during which its entropy increases by 10 J/K.
Specific volumes of liquid (v,) and vapour (v,) phases,
as well as values of saturation temperatures, are given
in the table below.

At the end of the process, which one of the
following situations will be true?
(a) superheated vapour will be left in the system
(b) no vapour will be left in the system
(c) a liquid + vapour mixture will be left in the
system
(d) the mixture will exist at a dry saturated vapour
state
