Example 7-4:

“A piston–cylinder device initially contains approximately 1.37 kg of liquid water at

137.9 kPa and 21.1°C. The water is now heated at constant pressure by the addition of
approximately 3639.943kJ of heat. Determine the entropy change of the water during this

the net work output and the thermal efficiency, and (c) the mean effective pressure.”

temperatures in the cycle, (b) the coefficient of performance, and (c) the rate of refrigeration
for a mass flow rate of approximately 0.0454 kg/s.”
