A cylinder fitted with a frictionless, massless piston contains compressed liquid water at a temperature T1=20C. The atmospheric pressure on the outside of the system is P=1.0 bar. Heat is then added until the water is completely converted to saturated vapor.
(a) What are the changes in specific volume, v2-v1 (m3/kg) and internal energy, u2-u1 (kJ/kg) of the water for this process?
(b) How much specific work, if any, is done by the system?
(c) What is the amount of heat addition required?
(d) Carefully sketch the complete process on a T-v diagram, indicating states 1 and 2.
