A mass of 5 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 125 kPa. Initially, 2 kg o
f the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase. Heat is now transferred to the water, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 300 kPa. Heat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 20%. (a) Determine the initial temperature. (b) Determine the final temperature. (c) Determine the mass of liquid water when the piston first starts moving. (d) Determine the work done during this process in kJ.

Answer:
Explanation:
The temperature can be defined as the measurement of the intensity of the heat present in the object. Fahrenheit, kelvin and centigrade are the common scale used for measuring Temperature.
Given:
T1=170C
To convert to Kelvin
= 17+273 =290K
T1 = 290K
Pressure (P)= 95KPa
Specific heat ratio = CP/CV= K
WhereK=1.005/0.718
K = 1.4
The final temperature can be calculated using the formula below.
T2 = CP/CV × T1
=. K × T1
T2 = 1.4 × 290
