Referring to the figure shown below, water contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at \( 1.5 \) bar and a quality of \( 20 \% \), is heated at constant pressure until the piston hits the stops. Heating then continues until the water is saturated vapor. The initial height, \( L_{1} \), is \( 0.05 \mathrm{~m} \) and the change in height \( \mathrm{L}_{2} \), is \( 0.02 \mathrm{~m} \). For the overall process of the water, evaluate the work and heat transfer, each in \( \mathrm{k} / \mathrm{kg} \). Kinetic and potential effects are negligible.
