4-24: A piston-cylinder device contains 50 kg of water at 250 kPa and 25° C. The cross-
sectional area of the piston is 0.1 m?. Heat is now transferred to the water, causing part of it to
evaporate and expand. When the volume reaches 0.2 m®, the piston reaches a linear spring
whose spring constant is 100 kN/m. More heat is transferred to the water until the piston rises

12.3 percent quality. The mixture is then heated until its temperature is 150° C. Calculate the

4-35: A piston-cylinder device initially contains steam at 200 kPa, 200" C, and 0.4 m?. At this
