In the figure shown, the system is a pure substance kept in a piston- cylinder arrangement. The system is initially a two- phase mixture containing $$1$$ $$kg$$ of liquid and $$0.03$$ $$kg$$ of vapour at a pressure of $$100kPa.$$ Initially, the piston rests on a set of stops, as shown in the figure. A pressure of $$200kPa$$ is required to exactly balance the weight of the piston and the outside atmospheric pressure. Heat transfer takes place into the system until its volume increases by $$50\% $$. Heat transfer to the system occurs in such a manner that the piston, when allowed to move, does so in a very slow (quasi-static / quasi-equilibrium) process. The thermal reservoir from which heat is transferred to the system as a temperature of $${400^ \circ }C$$. Average temperature of the system boundary can be taken as $${175^ \circ }C.$$ Heat transfer to the system is $$1kJ$$, during which its entropy increases by $$10$$ $$J/K.$$ GATE ME 2008 Thermodynamics - Properties of Pure Substances Question 5 English 1
