Thermodynamics I – 2020 – Exam 1 - Problem 3

Wet steam contained in a rigid tank of volume V = 500 litres is heated until the safety valve is opened. The initial
pressure of the steam is 5 bar and its quality is N/200, where N is equal to the last two digitals in your student’s
ID number. The pressure for which the valve is open is 10 bar. Find the amount of heat delivered to the tank and
the change of entropy in the process. Draw the process on the T-s and p-V diagrams. The data required for the
solution are given in the accompanying table. Assume specific heat of water equal to 4.19 kJ/kg/K. For calculation
of specific enthalpy and specific entropy of boiling water applies simplified formulae for pressure lower than
1 MPa.

Short instruction

1. On the page where the solution of the problem is sent back the following student’s declaration should be submitted:
------------------------------------------------------------------
I declare that this piece of work which is the basis for recognition of achieving learning outcomes in the Thermodynamics
I course was completed on my own.
First and last name:
Student record book number (Student ID number):
Date: y/m/d
-----------------------------------------------------------------

2. The test is published in MS Teams, and the only accepted way to submit a solution is to send it via MS Teams. After you
open the assignment (“view Assignment”) you will be able to open the file with the problem statement. After you solve the
test, you should take a photo or photos or scan of your solution and upload this/them to MS Teams. To do that, you use
option “Add work” (or “Add”) which is placed below the “reference materials”, click “upload from my computer” (or
“upload from this device” – or something similar) at the bottom of the panel and select one or more (if possible in a single
round) jpg or pdf files with your solution. Check how many files you attached! If something is missing, add missing files.
You must finalize uploading clicking “turn in”. Keep in mind that uploading of the files after the deadline is impossible.

Test send via e-mail will be not assessed.

3. The work with wrong value of N parameter won’t be assess and student will get 0 point immediately.
In case of ID with the second to last digital equal to 0, e.g., 06, assume N equal to last digital, e.g., N = 6.
