1. A piston–cylinder device contains 0.6 kg of steam at 200 oC and 0.5 MPa. Steam is cooled at
constant pressure until one-half of the mass condenses. Determine the volume change in m3.
2. A mass of 5 kg of saturated water vapor at 300 kPa is heated at constant pressure until the
temperature reaches 200 oC. Calculate the work done by the steam during this process in KJ.
3. A mixture with 70% quality at 500 kPa is heated isothermally until its pressure is 300 kPa. Find
the heat added during the process in KJ/Kg.
4. A mass of 200 g of saturated liquid water is completely vaporized at a constant pressure of 100
kPa. Determine (the amount of energy transferred to the water in KJ.
5. Superheated water vapor at 180 psia and 500 oF is allowed to cool at constant volume until the
temperature drops to 250 oF. At the final state, determine the enthalpy in Btu/lbm. 
6. A piston-cylinder device initially contains 50 L of liquid water at 40 oC and 200 kPa. Heat is
transferred to the water at constant pressure until the entire liquid is vaporized  Determine the
total enthalpy change in KJ.
7. A boiler receives a feedwater at 1200 psia and 250 oF and delivers a steam from the superheated
900 psia and 950 oF. Find the heat added in BTU/Lb
8. Steam at 2 MPa and 250°C in a rigid cylinder is cooled until the quality is 30%. Find the heat
rejected from the cylinder in KJ/Kg.
9. A piston-cylinder device initially contains 1.4-kg saturated liquid water at 200 oC. Now heat is
transferred to the water until the volume quadruples and the cylinder contains saturated vapor
only. Determine the internal energy change of the water in KJ.
10. A throttling calorimeter is connected to a desuperheated steam line supplying steam to the
auxiliary feed pump on a ship. The line pressure measures 2.5 MPa. The calorimeter pressure is
110 kPa at 150°C. Determine the entropy of the steam line in KJ/Kg-K.
