1. A piston–cylinder device initially contains 40 L of liquid water at 40°C and
300 kPa. Heat is transferred to the water at constant pressure until the entire
liquid is vaporized.
a) Show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
b) What is the mass of the water?
c) What is the final temperature?
d) Amount of heat transfer to the fluid.
2. A 1-m3 tank containing air at 25°C and 600 kPa is connected through a valve
to another tank containing 5 kg of air at 37°C and 250 kPa. Now the valve is
opened, and the entire system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the
surroundings, which are at 20°C. Determine the volume of the second tank
and the final equilibrium pressure of air.
3. A piston–cylinder device contains 5 kg of refrigerant- 134a at 800 kPa and
80°C. The refrigerant is now cooled at constant pressure until it exists as a
liquid at 10°C. Determine the amount of heat transfer and show the process on
a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
4. Air enters an adiabatic nozzle steadily at 300 kPa, 200°C, and 30 m/s and
leaves at 100 kPa and 180 m/s. The inlet area of the nozzle is 80 cm2.
Determine:
a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle.
b) The exit temperature of the air.
c) The exit area of the nozzle.
5. Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 6 MPa and 500°C at a
rate of 3 kg/s and leaves at 20 kPa. If the power output of
the turbine is 2 MW, determine the temperature of the
steam at the turbine exit. Neglect kinetic energy changes.
6. Determine the heat transfer to hydrogen, in kJ/kg, as it is
heated from 300 to 900 K in a rigid tank, using (a) the empirical specific heat
equation as a function of temperature (Table A–2c), (b) the cv value at the
average temperature (Table A–2b), and (c) the cv value at room temperature
(Table A–2a).
