1. Complete this table for H2O:
2. Complete this table for refrigerant-134a:
3. A 1-m^3 tank containing air at 10°C and 350 kPa is connected through a
valve to another tank containing 3 kg of air at 35°C and 200 kPa. Now the
valve is opened, and the entire system is allowed to reach thermal
equilibrium with the surroundings, which are at 20°C. Determine the volume
of the second tank and the final equilibrium pressure of air.
4. A rigid tank contains 20 lbm of air at 20 psia and 70°F. More air is added to
the tank until the pressure and temperature rise to 35 psia and 90°F,
respectively. Determine the amount of air added to the tank.
5. Methane at 10 MPa and 300 K is heated at constant pressure until its

volume has increased by 80 percent. Determine the final temperature using
the ideal gas equation of state and the compressibility factor. Which of these
two results is more accurate?
6. A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.2 kg of steam at 200 kPa and

300°C. Now, the steam is cooled at constant pressure until it is at 150°C.
Determine the volume change of the cylinder during this process using the
compressibility factor and compare the result to the actual value.
7. A tank whose volume is unknown is divided into two parts by a partition.
One side of the tank contains 0.03 m^3 of refrigerant-134a that is a
saturated liquid at 0.9 MPa, while the other side is evacuated. The partition
is now removed, and the refrigerant fills the entire tank. If the final state of
the refrigerant is 20°C and 280 kPa, determine the volume of the tank.
8. 10-kg of R-134a at 300 kPa fills a rigid container whose volume is 14 L.

Determine the temperature and total enthalpy in the container. The
container is now heated until the pressure is 600 kPa. Determine the
temperature and total enthalpy when the heating is completed.
9. A piston–cylinder device contains 0.005 m^3 of liquid water and 0.9 m^3 of
water vapor in equilibrium at 600 kPa. Heat is transferred at constant
pressure until the temperature reaches 200°C.
(a) What is the initial temperature of the water?
(b) Determine the total mass of the water.
(c) Calculate the final volume.
(d) Show the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
10. Superheated water vapor at 180 psia and 500°F is allowed to cool at
constant volume until the temperature drops to 250°F. At the final state,
determine (a) the pressure, (b) the quality, and (c) the enthalpy. Also, show
the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
11. As shown in figure, a tank fitted with an electrical resistor of negligible mass
holds 2 kg of nitrogen (N2), initially at 27°C, 0.1 MPa. Over a period of 10
minutes, electricity is provided to the resistor at a rate of 0.12 kW. During
this same period, a heat transfer of magnitude 12.59 kJ occurs from the
nitrogen to its surroundings. Assuming ideal gas behavior, determine the
nitrogen’s final temperature, in °C, and final pressure, in MPa.
12. In a heat-treating process, a 1 kg metal part, initially at 1075 K, is quenched

in a closed tank containing 100 kg of water, initially at 295 K. There is
negligible heat transfer between the contents of the tank and their
surroundings. Modeling the metal part and water as incompressible with
constant specific heats 0.5 kJ/kg*K and 4.4 kJ/kg *K, respectively, determine
the final equilibrium temperature after quenching, in K.
13. As shown in figure, a piston–cylinder assembly whose piston is resting on a

set of stops contains 0.5 kg of helium gas, initially at 100 kPa and 25°C. The
mass of the piston and the effect of the atmospheric pressure acting on the
piston are such that a gas pressure of 500 kPa is required to raise it. How
much energy must be transferred by heat to the helium, in kJ, before the
5
piston starts rising? For the helium, assume ideal gas behavior with C p= R .

14. Steam enters the first-stage turbine shown in Fig. P4.50 at 40 bar and
500°C with a volumetric flow rate of 90 m3/min. Steam exits the turbine at
20 bar and 400°C. The steam is then reheated at constant pressure to
500°C before entering the second-stage turbine. Steam leaves the second
stage as saturated vapor at 0.6 bar. For operation at steady state, and
ignoring stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects,
determine the:
(a) mass flow rate of the steam, in kg/h.
(b) total power produced by the two stages of the turbine, in kW.
(c) rate of heat transfer to the steam flowing through the reheater, in kW.
15. Steam at 1800 lbf/in.2 and 1100°F enters a turbine operating at steady
state. As shown in Fig. P4.51, 20% of the entering mass flow is extracted at
600 lbf/in.2 and 500°F. The rest of the steam exits as a saturated vapor at 1
lbf/in.2 The turbine develops a power output of 6.8x10^6 Btu/h. Heat transfer
from the turbine to the surroundings occurs at a rate of 5x10^4 Btu/h.
Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the mass flow rate
of the steam entering the turbine, in lb/s.
16. An air-conditioning system is shown in Fig. P4.75 in which air flows over
tubes carrying Refrigerant 134a. Air enters with a volumetric flow rate of 50
m3/min at 32°C, 1 bar, and exits at 22°C, 0.95 bar. Refrigerant enters the
tubes at 5 bar with a quality of 20% and exits at 5 bar, 20°C. Ignoring heat
transfer at the outer surface of the air conditioner, and neglecting kinetic and
potential energy effects, determine at steady state:
(a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, in kg/min.
(b) the rate of heat transfer, in kJ/min, between the air and refrigerant.
17. Carbon dioxide (CO2) modeled as an ideal gas flows through the
compressor and heat exchanger shown in Fig. P4.100. The power input to
the compressor is 100 kW. A separate liquid cooling water stream flows
through the heat exchanger. All data are for operation at steady state. Stray
heat transfer with the surroundings can be neglected, as can all kinetic and
potential energy changes. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the CO2, in
kg/s, and (b) the mass flow rate of the cooling water, in kg/s.
18. Figure shows several components in series, all operating at steady state.
Liquid water enters the boiler at 60 bar. Steam exits the boiler at 60 bar,
540°C and undergoes a throttling process to 40 bar before entering the
turbine. Steam expands adiabatically through the turbine to 5 bar, 240°C,
and then undergoes a throttling process to 1 bar before entering the
condenser. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored.
(a) Locate each of the states 2–5 on a sketch of the T–v diagram.
(b) Determine the power developed by the turbine, in kJ per kg of steam
flowing.
19. Figure shows a simple vapor power cycle operating at steady state with
water as the working fluid. Data at key locations are given on the figure.
Flow through the turbine and pump occurs isentropically. Flow through the
steam generator and condenser occurs at constant pressure. Stray heat
transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Sketch the
four processes of this cycle in series on a T–v diagram. Determine the
thermal efficiency.
20. Separate streams of steam and air flow through the turbine and heat
exchanger arrangement shown in the figure. Steady-state operating data
are provided on the figure. Heat transfer with the surroundings can be
neglected, as can all kinetic and potential energy effects. Determine (a) T3,
in K, and (b) the power output of the second turbine, in kW.
