Question

A piston-cylinder system contains 2⁡kg of wet steam at 90⁡oC with quality of 0.1 . The piston is loaded with a linear spring. The steam expands to 800⁡kPa and 250⁡oC on heating. The work done (in kJ) in this process is ______ (rounded off to two decimal places). Use the following data: At 90⁡oC: 𝑃𝑠𝑎𝑡= 70⁡kPa, 𝑣𝑓= 0.001⁡m3/kg, 𝑣𝑔= 2.4⁡m3/kg At 250⁡oC and 800⁡kPa: 𝑣⁡ = ⁡0.29⁡m3/kg

Accepted Answer
