A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.6 kg of water with a volume of 0.1 m3 . The mass of the piston is such that it maintains a constant pressure of 1000 kPa. The cylinder is connected through a valve to a supply line that carries steam at 5 MPa and 500 o C. Now the valve is opened and steam is allowed to flow slowly into the cylinder until the volume of the cylinder doubles and the temperature in the cylinder reaches 280 o C, at which point the valve is closed. The pressure remains constant during the process. Determine: (a) The mass of steam that has entered (in kg). (b) The amount of heat transfer (in kJ).
