3- A 1.8 m3 rigid tank contains steam at 220°C. One third of the volume is in the
liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor form. Determine (a) the pressure of the
steam, (b) the quality of the saturated mixture, and (c) the density of the mixture.

4- A 0.3 m3 rigid vessel initially contains saturated liquid–vapor mixture of water at


150°C. The water is now heated until it reaches the critical state. Determine the
mass of the liquid water and the volume occupied by the liquid at the initial state.

5- A rigid tank contains water vapor at 250°C and an unknown pressure. When the
tank is cooled to 150°C, the vapor starts condensing. Estimate the initial pressure
in the tank.

6- 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).

7- A piston cylinder device contains 0.1 m3 of liquid water and 0.9 m3 of water
vapor in equilibrium at 800 kPa. Heat is transferred at constant pressure until the
temperature reaches 350°C. Determine (a) the initial temperature of the water, (b)
the total mass of the water, (c) the final volume; (d) Show the process on a P-v
diagram with respect to saturation lines.

8- 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. Determine (a) the mass of the water, (b) the final temperature, (c) the
total enthalpy change; (d) Show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to
saturation lines.

9- A well-insulated rigid tank contains 5 kg of a saturated liquid–vapor mixture of


water at l00 kPa. Initially, three-quarters of the mass is in the liquid phase. An
electric resistor placed in the tank is connected to a 110-V source and a current of
8 A flows through the resistor when the switch is turned on. Determine how long
it will take to vaporize all the liquid in the tank. Also, show the process on a T-v
diagram with respect to saturation lines.

10- An insulated piston cylinder device contains 5 L of saturated liquid water at a


constant pressure of 175 kPa. Water is stirred by a paddle wheel while a current
of 8 A flows for 45 min through a resistor placed in the water. If one-half of the
liquid is evaporated during this constant pressure process and the paddle-wheel
work amounts to 400 kJ, determine the voltage of the source. Also, show the
process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
11- A piston–cylinder device with a set of stops initially contains 0.3 kg of steam at
1.0 MPa and 400°C. The location of the stops corresponds to 60 percent of the
initial volume. Now the steam is cooled. Determine the compression work if the
final state is (a) 1.0 MPa and 250°C and (b) 500 kPa.(c) Also determine the
temperature at the final state in part (b).

12- An insulated tank is divided into two parts by a partition. One part of the tank
contains 2.5 kg of compressed liquid water at 60°C and 600 kPa while the other
part is evacuated. The partition is now removed, and the water expands to fill the
entire tank. Determine the final temperature of the water and the volume of the
tank for a final pressure of 10 kPa.
13- A piston cylinder device contains steam initially at 1MPa, 450°C, and 2.5 m3.
Steam is allowed to cool at constant pressure until it first starts condensing. Show
the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines and determine: (a)
the mass of the steam, (b) the final temperature, and (c) the amount of heat
transfer.
14- A piston cylinder device initially contains 0.8 m3 of saturated water vapor at 250
kPa. At this state, the piston is resting on a set of stops, and the mass of the piston
is such that a pressure of 300 kPa is required to move it. Heat is now slowly
transferred to the steam until the volume doubles. Show the process on a P-v
diagram with respect to saturation lines and determine (a) the final temperature,
(b) the work done during this process, and (c) the total heat transfer.
15- A piston cylinder device contains 50 kg of water at 250 kPa and 25°C. The cross
sectional area of the piston is 0.1 m2. Heat is now transferred to the water, causing
part of it to evaporate and expand. When the volume reaches 0.2 m3, the piston
reaches a linear spring whose spring constant is 100 kN/m. More heat is
transferred to the water until the piston rises 20 cm more. Determine (a) the final
pressure and temperature and (b) the work done during this process. Also, show
the process on a P-V diagram.
16- A piston–cylinder device initially contains steam at 200 kPa, 200°C, and 0.5 m3.
At this state, a linear spring (F α x) is touching the piston but exerts no force on
it. Heat is now slowly transferred to the steam, causing the pressure and the
volume to rise to 500 kPa and 0.6 m3, respectively. Show the process on a P-v
diagram with respect to saturation lines and determine (a) the final temperature,
(b) the work done by the steam, and (c) the total heat transferred.
17- Two tanks (Tank A and Tank B) are separated by a partition. Initially Tank A
contains 2-kg steam at 1 MPa and 300°C while Tank B contains 3-kg saturated
liquid–vapor mixture at 150°C with a vapor mass fraction of 50 percent. Now the
partition is removed and the two sides are allowed to mix until the mechanical
and thermal equilibrium are established. If the pressure at the final state is 300
kPa, determine (a) the temperature and quality of the steam (if mixture) at the
final state and (b) the amount of heat lost from the tanks.
