A piston-cylinder device initially contains 75 g of saturated water vapor at 340 kPa . A resistance heater is operated within the cylinder with a current of 0.6 A from a 300 V source until the volume doubles. At the same time a heat loss of 7 kJ occurs.

Part A)Determine the final temperature (T2).

Part B)Determine the duration of the process.

Part C)

What-if scenario: What is the final temperature if the piston-cylinder device initially contains saturated liquid water?
