HW3 1. @roblem 4.36 in book) A piston-cylinder device initially contains steam at 200 kPa, 200°C, and 0.4 m®. At this state, a linear spring (F « 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 250 kPa and 0.6 m’, 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. (Answers: (a) 606°C, (b) 45 KJ, (c) 288 kJ). ‘Assumptions 1 The cylinder is stationary and thus the kinetic and potential energy changes are zero, 2.The thermal energy stored inthe cylinder itself is negligible. 3 The compression or expansion process is quasi-equilibrium, 4’The spring isa linear spring.

(Problem 4.75 in book) A piston-cylinder device, with a set of stops on the top, initially contains 3 kg of air at 200 kPa and 27°C. Heat is now transferred to the air, and the piston rises until it hits the stops, at which point the volume is twice the initial volume, More heat is transferred until the pressure inside the cylinder doubles. Determine the work done and the amount of heat transfer for this process. Also, show the process on a P-v diagram.
