Saturated water vapour at 200C is contained in a cylinder fitted with a piston. The initial volume of the steam is 0.01 cubic
meter. The steam expands in a quasiequilibrium isotermal process until the final pressure is 200 kPa and in so doing does
work against the piston. How much work is done during the process? How much error would be made by assuming the
steam to behave as an ideal gas?
