A pressure cooker operates by cooking food at a higher pressure and temperature than is possible at atmospheric conditions. Steam is contained in the sealed pot, with a small vent hole in the middle of the cover, allowing steam to escape. The pressure is regulated by covering the vent hole with a small weight, which is displaced slightly by the escaping steam. Atmospheric pressure is 1 bar, the vent hole area is 7mm2, and the pressure inside should be 2.75 bar. What is the mass in kg of the small weight

In a piston-cylinder assembly, there is initially 2 kg of water at a temperature of 25 °C and a pressure of 100 kPa. Then heat is given to the water until its volume is 0.4 m3. At this point, the piston in the cylinder is fixed with a stopper, but the water in the cylinder continues to heat until its temperature reaches 300 oC. According to this, calculate a) the final pressure of the water, b) the amount of heat given to the water, c) the work done by the piston. d) Show these processes in the T-v (Temperature-Specific Volume) diagram
