Question
The Figure as shown below shows a piston cylinder containing 5 10-3 m3 of
R134a liquid vapour mixture with 50% of its volume in the liquid state. At the
position shown, the piston is free to move. The weight of the piston is 190 N and
has a cross sectional area of 0.01 m2. The system is exposed to the atmospheric
pressure of 101 kPa. Now the system is brought in a thermal contact with the heat
input of Q. The heat transfer causes the final pressure of R134a to be 320 kPa.
Find the initial temperature, the quality and the total mass of the fluid.
Calculate the total work done by the system
Calculate the amout of heat transfer
o Explain the states and process of the piston-cylinder-spring arrangement

employing P-v and T-v diagrams.

o What is the learning outcome from this question?

*** Please use Tables (A-11 to A-13) or R134a properties Table.
