A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.4 m^3 of saturated water vapor at a pressure of 200 kPa.  At this time, a linear spring (K = 150 N/m, no other information about spring provided) is touching the piston, but exerts no force upon it.  Heat is now transferred to the water vapor for 30 minutes through a resistive heater having a current of 10 amperes.  The pressure and volume rise to 300 kPa and  0.6 m^3 while the system lost 10 kJ of heat during this process.  Determine the voltage of the heater.  Show detailed calculations and specify any required values found on thermodynamic tables.
