Question

Question 1

A piston-cylinder assembly contains 3.2 kg of water at 211.9^oC 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 a closed, rigid container. The water is heated until its temperature is 200°C. For the water, determine the pressure at the final state, in bar.

Question 3

Water, initially saturated vapor at 14.5 bar, fills a closed, rigid container. The water is heated until its temperature is 200°C. For the water, determine the heat transfer, in kJ/kg. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored.

Question 4

Nitrogen (N₂) contained in a piston–cylinder arrangement, initially at 6 bar and 435 K, undergoes an expansion to a final temperature of 300 K, during which the pressure–volume relationship is pV^1.5 = constant. Assuming the ideal gas model for the N₂, determine the heat transfer in kJ/kg.

Question 5

Argon contained in a closed, rigid tank, initially at 25.1°C, 3.1 bar, and a volume of 3.7 m³, is heated to a final pressure of 5.7 bar. Assuming the ideal gas model with k = 1.59 for the argon, determine the heat transfer, in kJ.
