Physics

A horizontal piston assembly contains water. The piston isconnected to a shaft, which can apply different forces to thepiston as the water is expanded or compressed. Initially theapparatus contains a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at .9bar with quality of 80% and a volume of 1.0 m^3. The shaft isprogrammed to move following a polytropic processs until the volumedoubles and the pressure is 0.7 bar.

A) For the initial state, what percent of the total volume isoccupied by vapor?

B) Could Kinetic and potential effects be neglected for thesystem? Why or Why not?

C) Determine the amount of heat transfer required to accompanythe process in kJ

D) For the initial state, calculate the amount of mass presentin the vapor phase kg

E) Determine the type of polytrophic process (find n when PV^n=Constant
