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.

The valve is now slowly opened and heat is transferred to the system till the whole Pf of R134-a ovigaer comes to a A [ I uniform — state at 600 kPa.

Do not use interpolation, just use the closest value from the tables.[22M] 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.
