A frictionless 400-mm-diameter piston sits on top of 2 kg of water in a cylinder such that the pressure is initially at 120 kPa at a temperature of 80ºC. Heat is added until the piston rises a distance of 2 m, at which state the quality of the steam is nearest:

A) 0.19
B) 0.14
C) 0.088
D) 0.034


C) 0.088

First, let’s find the height l1 the piston is above the bottom of the cylinder:



After the piston rises 2 m, the specific volume is



The pressure and specific volume at state 2 are now known for this constant-pressure process. Table

C-2 at P2 = 120 kPa provides
