UES011 Thermofluids (Thermodynamics) : Tutorial Sheet No.4

This document contains 8 thermofluid problems involving concepts like work, pressure-volume relationships, and heating/cooling processes. The problems involve gases, liquids, and mixtures undergoing various polytropic and isobaric expansions and compressions in piston cylinder arrangements. The goal is to calculate things like work, final temperatures, volumes, and other thermodynamic quantities using the given initial conditions and process descriptions.

UES011 Thermofluids (Thermodynamics)

Tutorial Sheet No.4


Faculty: GCH, HPB, SMB & NS

1 A constant pressure piston cylinder contains 0.2 kg water as saturated


vapor at 400 kPa. It is now cooled so the water occupies half the original
volume. Find the work of the process?

2 A piston cylinder contains 0.5 kg air at 500 kPa & 500 K. The air expands in
a process so pressure (P) is linearly decreasing with volume (V) to a final
state of 100 kPa & 300 K. Find the work in the process?

3 A gas initially at 1 MPa & 500 oC is contained in a piston and cylinder


arrangement with an initial volume of 0.1 m 3. The gas is then slowly
expanded according to the relation PV = constant until a final pressure of
100 kPa is reached. Determine the work for this process?

4 Air goes through a polytropic process from 125 kPa & 325 K to 300 kPa &
500 K. Find the polytropic exponent n and the specific work in the process?

5 Ten (10) kg of water in a piston cylinder arrangement exists as saturated


liquid / vapor at 100 kPa, with a quality of 50%. It is now heated so the
volume triples. The mass of the piston is such that a cylinder pressure of
200 kPa will float it. Find out final temperature, volume of the water and
work given out by the water?

6 Air at 200 kPa & 30oC is contained in cylinder / piston arrangement with
initial volume 0.1 m3. The inside pressure balances ambient pressure of
100 kPa plus an externally imposed force that is proportional to V 0.5. Now
heat is transferred to the system to a final pressure of 225 kPa. Find the
final temperature and the work done in the process?

7 A water-filled reactor with volume of 1.0 m 3 is at 20 MPa & 360 oC and


placed inside a containment room. The room is well insulated and initially
evacuated. Due to failure, the reactor ruptures and the water fill the
containment room. Find the minimum room volume so that final pressure
does not exceed 200 kPa?

8 A piston /cylinder assembly contains 1 kg of liquid water at 20 oC and 300


kPa. There is a linear spring mounted on the piston such that when the
water is heated the pressure reaches 1 MPa with a volume of 0.1 m 3. Find
the final temperature, heat transfer and work done in the process?
