CP 203: Engineering Thermodynamics TUTORIAL: 3
1. A system consists of liquid water in equilibrium with a gaseous mixture of air and water vapor.
How many phases are present? Does the system consist of a pure substance? Explain. Repeat for a
system consisting of ice and liquid water in equilibrium with a gaseous mixture of air and water
vapor.
2. A system consists of liquid oxygen in equilibrium with oxygen vapor. How many phases are
present? The system undergoes a process during which some of the liquid is vaporized. Can the
system be viewed as being a pure substance during the process? Explain.
3. Determine the phase or phases in a system consisting of H2 O at the following conditions and sketch
p–v and T–v diagrams showing the location of each state.
(a) p = 5 bar, T = 151.90 C (b) p = 5 bar, T = 2000 C (c) T = 2000 C, p = 2.5 MPa (d) T = 1600 C, p =
4.8 bar. (e) T= ─120 C, p = 1 bar.
4. Determine the quality of a two-phase liquid–vapor mixture of (a) H2 O at 200 Cwith a specific
volume of 20 m3 /kg (b) Propane at 15 bar with a specific volume of 0.02997 m3 /kg (c) Refrigerant
134a at 600 C with a specific volume of 0.001m3 /kg (d) Ammonia at 1 MPa with a specific volume
of 0.1 m3 /kg
5. Steam is contained in a closed rigid container with a volume of 1 m3 . Initially, the pressure and
temperature of the steam are 7 bar and 500 0 C, respectively. The temperature drops as a result of
heat transfer to the surroundings. Determine the temperature at which condensation first occurs, in
0
C, and the fraction of the total mass that has condensed when the pressure reaches 0.5 bar. What is
the volume, in m3 , occupied by saturated liquid at the final state?
6. Water vapor initially at 10 bar and 400o C is contained within a piston–cylinder assembly. The
water is cooled at constant volume until its temperature is 150 o C. The water is then condensed
isothermally to saturated liquid. For the water as the system, evaluate the work, in kJ/ kg.
7. Using the tables for water, determine the specified property data at the indicated states. In each
case, locate the state by hand on sketches of the p–v and T–v diagrams.
(a) At p = 3 bar, v = 0.5 m3 /kg, find T in °C and u in kJ/kg (b) At T = 320°C, v = 0.03 m3 /kg, find p
in MPa and u in kJ/kg (c) At p = 28 MPa, T = 520°C, find v in m3 /kg and h in kJ/kg.

8. A closed, rigid tank contains 2 kg of water initially at 80 0 C and a quality of 0.6. Heat transfer
occurs until the tank contains only saturated vapor. Kinetic and potential energy effects are
negligible. For the water as the system, determine the amount of energy transfer by heat, in kJ.
9. A two-phase, liquid–vapor mixture of H2 O, initially at x = 30% and a pressure of 100 kPa, is
contained in a piston–cylinder assembly, as shown in Fig 3.1. The mass of the piston is 10 kg, and
its diameter is 15 cm. The pressure of the surroundings is 100 kPa. As the water is heated, the
pressure inside the cylinder remains constant until the piston 2 hits the stops. Heat transfer to the
water continues at constant volume until the pressure is 150 kPa. Friction between the piston and
the cylinder wall and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. For the overall process of
the water, determine the work and heat transfer, each in kJ.
10. Two kilograms of air, initially at 5 bar, 350 K and 4 kg of carbon monoxide (CO) initially at 2 bar,
450 K are confined to opposite sides of a rigid, well- insulated container by a partition, as shown in
Fig. 3.2. The partition is free to move and allows conduction from one gas to the other without
energy storage in the partition itself. The air and CO each behave as ideal gases with constant
specific heat ratio, k = 1.395. Determine at equilibrium (a) the temperature, in K, (b) the pressure,
in bar, and (c) the volume occupied by each gas, in m3 .
