A cylinder container is divided into two equal sections by thermally isolated, frictionless piston, as shown in the figure. One section contains water and the other air. The cylinder is isolated except the one face of the water section. Each section has an initial volume of 100 liter. The initial temperature of the air is 40oC and the water is 90oC with steam quality of 10%. The water are heated slowly until the entire section of the water is filled with saturated steam. Find the final pressure and the amount of heat transported to the container.

Question

A cylinder container is divided into two equal sections by thermally isolated, frictionless piston, as shown in the figure. One section contains water and the other air. The cylinder is isolated except the one face of the water section. Each section has an initial volume of 100 liter. The initial temperature of the air is 40oC and the water is 90oC with steam quality of 10%. The water are heated slowly until the entire section of the water is filled with saturated steam. Find the final pressure and the amount of heat transported to the container.

Assume: the heat transfer is a reversible process.
Assume for ideal gas the following relation between p and v:

#$" #$% !#"

! !" = ! "" ; k = 1.4
