A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains stops
arranged as shown in the following figure. When the piston rests on
the lower stops the volume is 0.4m3 ; when it is in contact with
the upper stops the volume is 0.6m3 . If the piston is not in
contact with the stops, it maintains a constant pressure of 200kPa
in the cylinder. Initially, the cylinder contains air at P1=150kPa
with a temperature of T1=300K. The air is then heated...
Thermodynamics question

Question 1 A piston-cylinder assembly contains 3.2 kg of water at 211.9oC and 3 bar. The water is compressed to a saturated vapor state where the pressure is 51.5 bar. During compression, there is a heat transfer of energy from the water to its surroundings having a magnitude of 230 kJ. Neglecting changes in kinetic energy and potential energy, determine the work, in kJ, for the process of the water. Question 2 Water, initially saturated vapor at 10.2 bar, fills...

(THERMODYNAMICS) A vertical cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 1.5 kg of H2O initially at 100 °C, 400 kPa. If the volume of the system reaches 0.5 m3, the piston hits a set of stops and is restrained from further upward travel. The system is heated to 200 °C. (Use saturated water tables, steam tables, and superheated tables as necessary) a) If the piston reaches the stops, determine the temperature and pressure when the piston first touches but exerts no force...
