1. A piston-cylinder assembly contains 10 kg of water, initially at 150°C. The water undergoes two processes in series: constant volume heating followed by a constant-pressure process. At the end of the constant volume process, the pressure is 700 kPa and the water is a two-phase. liquid-vapor mixture with a quality of 80%. At the end of the constant-pressure process, the temperature is 200°C. Neglect kinetic and potential effects. a. What is the initial specific volume of the system? What is its state at this point? If it is a two-phase mixture, solve for the quality. (VI = 0.2185 m/kg: state I is a mixture of saturated liquid and saturated vapor with quality x = 0.555) b. Determine the work and heat transfer for each of the two processes, all in k. (For constant-volume process: W = 0, Q = 4890 kJ)
