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 .
