Practice 5 2015/10/27

1. Determine the specific volume, internal energy, and enthalpy of compressed liquid water at 80C and
20 MPa using the saturated liquid approximation. Compare these values to the ones obtained from the
compressed liquid tables.

2. A piston cylinder (0.5 kg steel altogether) maintaining a constant pressure has 0.2 kg R-134a as
saturated vapor at 150 kPa. It is heated to 40C and the steel is at the same temperature as the R-134a
at any time. Find the work and heat transfer for the process.

3. A 1 kg steel pot contains 1 kg liquid water both at 15C. It is now put on the stove where it is heated to
the boiling point of the water. Neglect any air being heated and find the total amount of energy needed.

4. Water initially at 300 kPa and 0.5 m3/kg is contained in a piston-cylinder device
fitted with stops so that the water supports the weight of the piston and the force of
the atmosphere. The water is heated until it reaches the saturated vapor stat and the
piston rests against the stops. With the piston against the stops, the water is further
heated until the pressure is 600 kPa. Sketch the process on the P-v and T-v
diagrams. Mark the lines of isobar and isotherms and their values on each diagram.

5. Determine the specific volume of superheated water vapor at 15 MPa and 350C, using (a) the ideal-gas
equation, (b) the generalized compressibility charts, and (c) the steam tables. Also determine the error
involved in the first two cases.

6. Saturated water vapor at 350C is heated at constant pressure until its volume has doubled. Determine
the final temperature using (a) the ideal gas equation of state, (b) the compressibility charts, and (c) the
steam tables.

7. Air is compressed adiabatically from p1 = 1 bar, T1 = 300 K to p2 = 15bar, v2 = 0.1227 m3/kg. The air is
then cooled at constant volume to T3 = 300 K. Assuming ideal gas behavior, and ignoring kinetic and
potential energy effects, calculate the work for the first process and the heat transfer for the second
process, each in kJ/kg of air using (a) Table A-22 and (b) using a constant specific heat evaluated at
300 K.

8. A 0.5-m3 rigid tank containing hydrogen at 20C and 400 kPa is


connected by a valve to another 0.5-m3 rigid tank that holds hydrogen at
50C and 150 kPa. Now the valve is opened and the system is allowed to
reach thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, which are at 15C.
Determine the final pressure in the tank.
