Re ME 202 Thermodynamic | Homework # 4 Problem #1 Apiston-cylinder device with a set of stops as shown in the figure 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 ifthe final state is (0) 1.0 MPa and 250°C and {b) 500 kPa. (c) Aso determine the temperature at the final state in part (6). Problem #2 A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains 2 kg of nitrogen at 100 kPa and 300 K Nitrogen is now compressed slowly according to the relation PY'* = constant until reaches a final temperature of 360 K. Determine (a) The work input, (b) The heat transfer (is this a heat loss or heat gain?) {c} Plot the P-v diagram Problem #3 ‘A piston-cylinder device contains 50 ke of water at 250 kPa and 25°C. The cross sectional area of the piston is 0.1m‘. Heat is now transferred to the water, causing part of it to evaporate and expand. When the volume reaches 0.2 m’, the piston reaches @ linear spring whose spring constant is 42.325 kN/m. More heat is transferred to the weter until the piston rises 35.44 cm more, Determine (a) The final pressure and temperature {b) The work done during this process {c} The heat input (d) Show the process on a P-V diagram SteamProblem Ha 2 eg of saturated liquid water at 200 °C is heated isathermally to 300 kPa by adding 4 Mi of heat Determine, (2) The initial pressure (0) The initial ane final specific internal energies {c) The work done during this process {0} Show the process on a T-V diagram Problem #5 [A mass of 12 kg of saturated refrigerant-134a vapor is contained in a piston— eylinder device at 240 kPa. Now 300 Kl of heat is transferred to the refrigerant ‘at constant pressure while @ 110-V source supplies current to a resistor within the cylinder for 6 min, Determine the current supplied ifthe final temperature is 70°C. Also, show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to the saturation lines Problem #6 Consider a kitchen room {4m x 3m x 2.8m) whose door and windows are tightly closed, and whose walls are wellinsulated so that heat loss or gain througn the wals is negligible. Now let's place a refrigerator in the middle of the room with its Coor open, and plug it into @ wall outlet. Now, what do you think will happen to the average temperature of air in the kitchen? Wilt be increasing or decreasing? Or will t remain constant? your answer is that the temperature will change (i.e. increase or decreasel, What is the change in the room temperature if the refrigerator rated power | 200 W and its plugged into the wall outlet for 1 hour. Problem #7 Consider a welLinsulates horizontal rigié cylinder that is divided into two compartments by a piston that is free to move but does not allow either gas to leak into the other side. Initially, one side of the piston contains 1 m of nitrogen at 500 kPa and 80 °C while the other side contains 1m? of helium at $00 kPa and 25 °C, In the final state thermat equilibrium is established in the cylinder as a result of heat transter through the piston. Determine {a} The final equilibrium temperature in the cylinder {b) The final equilibrium pressure inthe cylinder
