An insulated vertical piston–cylinder device initially contains 10kg of water, 5kg of which is in the vapor phase. Initially the pressure is 200 kPa inside the cylinder. A linear spring is connected to the piston therefore the pressure changes linearly with volume (P=m*V+b). Super heated steam at 0.5 MPa and constant temperature is allowed to enter the cylinder from a supply line until all the liquid in the cylinder has just vaporized and the pressure and volume in the cylinder have both doubled. Determine the final temperature, mass of the steam, boundary work, and specific enthalpy
