Question 1 (variation a) Five litres (5 L) of saturated water steam is contained in a piston-cylinder device and is kept at 100 °C. The piston is frictionless. Four litres (4 L) of the steam is in the saturated vapour state, the rest is in the saturated liquid state. Calculate: (a) Total mass of the steam. (b) The quality of the steam. (c) The amount of heat required to completely change the steam to saturated vapour. (d) Represent the process on a T-v and a P-v diagrams.
