8.2 In an old-fashioned locomotive an insulated piston+
cylinder is connected through a valve to a steam supply line at
3MPa and 300°C. The back side of the piston is vented to the
atmosphere at the right side of the cylinder. The volume of the
cylinder is 70 liters. When the valve opens the piston is
touching the left side of the cylinder. As the piston moves to
the right it accomplishes 108 kJ of work before it touches the
right side of the cylinder. Then, the cylinder contains 0.5 kg of
steam and the temperature remains at 300°C.
