ASSIGNMENT # 01

Problem: A mass of 12 kg of saturated refrigerant-134a vapor is contained in a piston–cylinder


device at 240 kPa. Now 300 kJ of heat is transferred to the refrigerant at constant pressure while
a 110-V source supplies current to a resistor within the cylinder for 6 min. Determine the current
supplied if the final temperature is 70°C. Also, show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to
the saturation lines.

Problem: A well-insulated 4-m by 4-m by 5-m room initially at 10°C is heated by the radiator of
a steam heating system. The radiator has a volume of 15 L and is filled with superheated vapor at
200 kPa and 200°C. At this moment both the inlet and the exit valves to the radiator are closed.
A 120-W fan is used to distribute the air in the room. The pressure of the steam is observed to
drop to 100 kPa after 30 min as a result of heat transfer to the room. Assuming constant specific
heats for air at room temperature, determine the average temperature of air in 30 min. Assume
the air pressure in the room remains constant at 100 kPa.

Problem: A piston–cylinder device, whose piston is resting on a set of stops, initially contains 3
kg of air at 200 kPa and 27°C. The mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 400 kPa is
required to move it. Heat is now transferred to the air until its volume doubles. Determine the
work done by the air and the total heat transferred to the air during this process. Also show the
process on a P-v diagram.

Problem: A piston–cylinder device contains helium gas initially at 150 kPa, 20°C, and 0.5 m3.
The helium is now compressed in a polytropic process to 400 kPa and 140°C. Determine the heat
loss or gain during this process.

Problem: A 1-m3 tank containing air at 25°C and 500 kPa is connected through a valve to
another tank containing 5 kg of air at 35°C and 200 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.

Problem: The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire.
When the air temperature is 25°C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is
0.025 m3, determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to
50°C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original
value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa.

Problem: A piston–cylinder device initially contains steam at 3.5 MPa, superheated by 5°C.
Now, steam loses heat to the surroundings and the piston moves down hitting a set of stops at
which point the cylinder contains saturated liquid water. The cooling continues until the cylinder
contains water at 200°C. Determine (a) the initial temperature, (b) the enthalpy change per unit
mass of the steam by the time the piston first hits the stops, and (c) the final pressure and the
quality (if mixture).

Problem: A piston–cylinder device initially contains 50 L of liquid water at 40°C and 200 kPa.
Heat is transferred to the water at constant pressure until the entire liquid is vaporized. (a) What
is the mass of the water? (b) What is the final temperature? (c) Determine the total enthalpy
change. (d) Show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
