State saturated mixture of steam and water

Reference no: EM13157820

A piston-cylinder device contains a saturated mixture of steam and water having a total mass of 0.5 kg at a pressure of 160 kPa and an initial volume of 100 liters. Heat is then added and the fluid expands at constant pressure until it reaches a saturated vapor state. a) Draw a diagram representing the process showing the initial and final states of the system. b) Sketch this process on a P-v diagram with respect to the saturation lines, critical point, and relevant constant temperature lines, clearly indicating the initial and final states. c) Determine the initial quality and temperature of the fluid mixture prior to heating. [quality x1 = 0.182, T1 = 113.3°C] d) Determine the final volume of the steam after heating. [0.546 m3 (546 liters)] Note: 1000 liters - 1 m3.
