1- Complete the table for H2O

P (kPa) T (oC) V (m3/kg) Phase description

300 133.52 0.4 Saturated Mixture
618.23 160 0.001102 Saturated liquid
5000 400 0.05784 Superheated Water
4000 450 0.08 Superheated Water
500 140 0.001080 Compressed liquid water

2- Complete the table for H2O

P (kPa) T (oC) h (kJ/kg) x Phase description

101.42 100 2675 1 Super-Heated Water
200 300 3072.1 Super-Heated Water
125 105.97 1250 0.359 Saturated mixture
476.16 150 632.18 0 Saturated liquid
5000 120 507.19 0.00153 Compressed Liquid

ℎ = ℎ𝑓 + 𝑥 ∗ ℎ𝑓𝑔

ℎ = ℎ𝑓 + 𝑥 ∗ (ℎ𝑔 − ℎ𝑓 )

507.19 = 503.81 + 𝑥 ∗ 2202 → 𝑥 = 0

3- A piston – cylinder device initialy contains 50 L of water at 200 oC and 200 kPa. Heat is removed from
the water at constant pressure unitl the entire gas is condensed to saturated liquid.
a) What is the mass of the water?

Answer:
𝑽 = 𝟓𝟎𝑳 = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟓 𝒎𝟑 ; 𝑻𝟎 = 𝟐𝟎𝟎 °𝑪; 𝑷 = 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝑲𝑷𝒂 = 𝟎. 𝟐𝑴𝑷𝒂 → 𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓

• Superheated water – Table A-6:

𝒎𝟑
For the specified temperature and pressure, the specific volume is 𝝊 = 𝟏. 𝟎𝟖𝟎 𝒌𝒈

𝑽 𝟎.𝟎𝟓𝒎𝟑
We can use 𝒎 = 𝝊 to determine the mass. 𝒎 = 𝒎𝟑

b) What is the final temperature?

Answer: At the final state, the cylinder contains saturated water. Using Table A-5 (saturated
water), it can be determined that at 200KPa, the saturation temperature is 120.21 °𝐶
c) Determine the total enthalpy change in (kJ).

Answer: Since, the mass, the initial, and the final enthalpy are known(or can be found in the
thermodynamics tables), the enthalpy change 𝚫𝑯 can be determined using the following formula:

𝚫𝑯 = 𝒎 ∗ (𝒉𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍 − 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 )
𝑘𝐽 𝑘𝐽
𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑚 = 0.04629 𝑘𝑔; ℎ𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 = 504.71 ; ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 = 2870.7
𝑘𝑔 𝑘𝑔
Therefore, 𝚫𝑯 = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟒𝟔𝟐𝟗 ∗ (𝟓𝟎𝟒. 𝟕𝟏 − 𝟐𝟖𝟕𝟎. 𝟕) 𝒌𝑱 = 𝟏𝟎𝟗. 𝟒𝟖𝟗 𝒌𝑱

4- A piston –cylinder device initialy contains 1.87 kg of water at 400 kPa. Heat is added till the pistion
hit the stops at which the volume is doupled and equal to 2 L.

V=2 L

P=400 kPa

𝑚 = 1.87 𝑘𝑔
𝑃 = 400𝐾𝑃𝑎 = 0.4𝑀𝑃𝑎
𝑉𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙
𝑉𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 = 2𝐿 = 0.002 𝑚3 → 𝑉𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 = = 1𝐿 = 0.001𝑚3

Determine:
a) The initial temperature

Answer: At this point, the initial volume, mass and pressure are known, therfore, we can firstly use
these properties to calculate the specific volume, and then to determine the initial temperature.

Firstly, we will use the mass formula to determine the specific volume 𝒎= 𝝊
