Question 1 (50 point): Please write equations those show the rate of energy transport by mass for flowing and
non-flowing fluids, respectively.

Answer 1:
For flowing fluids:
𝑉 2
𝐸̇𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 = 𝑚̇ · 𝜃 = 𝑚̇ · (ℎ + + 𝑔 · 𝑧) 25
2

For nonflowing fluids:

𝑉 2
𝐸̇𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 = 𝑚̇ · 𝜃 = 𝑚̇ · (𝑢 + + 𝑔 · 𝑧) 25

Question 2 (50 point): 10 kg of R-134a fill a 1.11418-m3 rigid container at an initial temperature of –30°C.
The container is then heated until the pressure is 200 kPa. Determine the final temperature and the initial
pressure.
Answer 2:
A rigid container that is filled with R-134a is heated. The final temperature and initial pressure are to be determined.

Analysis This is a constant volume process. The specific volume is
𝑉 1.11418𝑚3 𝑚3
𝑣1 = 𝑣2 = 𝑚 = 10 𝑘𝑔
= 0.11418 𝑘𝑔 15

The initial state is determined to be a mixture, and thus the pressure is the saturation pressure at the given temperature
P1 = Psat @ - 30°C = 84.43 kPa (Table A-11) 10
The final state is superheated vapor and the temperature is determined by interpolation to be

𝑣2 = 0.11418 𝑘𝑔 𝑇2 = 20 °𝐶 25
