Transcribed Image Text:2. A piston-cylinder system has a mass of piston of 900 kg and an area of piston
equals to 0.00981 m². At the start of the process, 1.0 kg of water in the system is
at its saturated vapour state at 20.0 MPa. The system is allowed to cool, at a
constant volume, until its internal and external pressures are the same. At the end
of the isobaric process, half of the cylinder is filled with liquid and half with vapour,
by volume.
Given Atmospheric pressure, Patm = 100 kPa
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Shouldn't the temperatures of all 3 states be constant at 365.75 degC?
Solution
Follow-up Question
why is quality of vapour 0 for state 3? shouldnt it be 0.5 as the qn stated that half of the cylinder is filled with liquid and the other half is filled with vapour?
