Constant Pressure Process
Constant Pressure Process
Assuming:
Point 1 is wet- steam
Point 2 is superheated vapor
1. Steam is contained in a piston and cylinder device with
a free-floating piston. Initially, the steam occupies
a volume of 0.18 m3 at a pressure of 500 kPa.
The steam is slowly heated until the temperature is 300oC,
while the pressure remains constant. If
the cylinder contains 0.65 kg of steam, determine the heat
transfer and the work in kJ for this process.
Answer= W=80 KJ and Q=565 KJ
2. A boiler is producing steam at a pressure of 15 bars and
quality as 0.98 dry. It was observed that while flowing from
boiler to the place of heating through pipes, steam looses 20 kJ
of heat per kg. Assuming the constant pressure, while flowing
through pipe line, calculate the quality of steam at the place of
heating.
X= 0.97
