Tutorial 2 Che 433

This document provides 11 thermodynamics practice problems involving properties of pure substances like water, refrigerant-134a, hydrogen, and air. The problems involve using steam tables and the ideal gas equation of state to determine temperature, pressure, volume, mass, and phase for systems undergoing heating, cooling, expansion, and mixing processes. Key information includes properties of substances at given temperatures and pressures, determining initial and final states of systems that undergo specified changes, and sketching processes on temperature-volume diagrams.

4. One kilogram of water fills a 0.140 m3 rigid container at an initial pressure of 1.8 MPa.
The container is then cooled to 40 oC. Determine the initial temperature and final
pressure of the water (By using steam table).
5. Three kilograms of water in a container have a pressure of 100 kPa and temperature
of 360oC. Find the volume of this container.
6. One kilogram of R-134a fills a 0.14 m3 weighted piston-cylinder device at a
temperature of -26.4 oC. The container is now heated until the temperature is 100 oC.
Determine the final volume of the R-134a.
7. 4 kg of steam contained in a 500 L rigid tank was initially at 250oC. Then the tank was
cooled to 80oC.

(a) State the initial phase of the system and give your reason.
(b) Sketch the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
(c) Determine the pressure (in kPa) at which condensation first occurred.
(d) Determine the mass of liquid water (if any) at final state
8. A 1 m3 rigid tank with air at 1 MPa and 400 K is connected to an airline. The valve is
opened and air flows into the tank until the pressure reaches 5 MPa. The valve is
closed and the temperature inside the tank is 450 K. The tank is then cooled to 300
K. Determine the final pressure inside the tank.
9. Saturated water vapour at 350 oC is heated at constant pressure until its volume has
doubled. Determine the final temperature using the ideal gas equation of state
10. Refrigerant-134a at 0.7 MPa has a specific volume of 0.033322 m 3/kg. Determine the
temperature of the refrigerant based on the ideal gas equation.
11. A 0.5 m3 rigid tank containing hydrogen at 20 oC and 600 kPa is connected by a valve
to another 0.5 m3 rigid tank that holds hydrogen at 30 oC and 150 kPa. Now the valve
is opened and the system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the
surroundings which are at 15oC. Determine the final pressure in the tank.
