PART-B
Q.4.Water with an initial quality of 20% is taken in a piston
cylinder arrangement shown in the Fig. The stops are 68.86 mm
above the piston as shown in
figure. The water is heated
such that the final
temperature is 400 °C. Piston
has a mass of 50 kg. There is
an atmospheric pressure (Po)
of 100.7616 kPa outside the
piston. Take g = 9.81 m/s’,
Determine
a) The mass of the water <—— 25 mm ——>
inside the cylinder (in grams)
b) The temperature when the piston just hits the stops (in °C)
c) The final pressure of the steam (in kPa)
d) Work done during the process (in J)
e) Heat transfer during the process. (in J)
Represent the process on P-v plot.
Do not use interpolation, just use the closest value from the
tables. [18M]
Q5. A rigid tank A with volume 0.6 m3 contains R-134a of mass
15 kg at 10 °C. Another rigid tank B of volume 0.8 m? is
contained with R-134a at 120 °C and 400 kPa. A piston/cylinder
(C) arrangement contains 238 grams of R-134a at 50 °C with a
volume of 20 L. The piston mass is such that it starts floating
when pressure on the piston becomes equal to 500 kPa. When
the piston is at the upper stops, the cylinder volume is 50 L. All

Q6.Argon at 39.85 °C with a volume of 0.5 m? is initially
contained in a cylinder-piston (cross-sectional area 0.7 m? and
length 5.7 m) system with a massless piston loaded with a
water at 20 °C and the outside
atmosphere (atmospheric pressure,
Po = 101.203 kPa) as shown in figure.
If the piston just touches the stops,
the volume of Argon would be 0.8
m°. Heat is now added until the
temperature reaches to 251.85 °C.
Plot the process on a P-V diagram,
and calculate a) the final pressure (in
kPa), b) the work done (in kJ) and c)
the heat transfer (in kJ) during the
process. (Neglect the volume of the piston and stops, take g =
9.807 m/s?).
