3. A rigid vessel contains 2kg of steam at 6.35MPa and 375C. Determine its enthalpy in kJ
using steam tables only.
4. A tank contains exactly one kilogram of water consisting of liquid and vapor in
equilibrium at 1MPa. If the liquid and vapor each occupy one half the volume of the tank,
what is the enthalpy of the contents of the tank?
6. Saturated steam vapor at 250C moves along its isotherm until the pressure becomes
1MPa. Locate the end state points on the Mollier chart and for each kilogram of steam
processed determine (a) the initial pressure, (b) the change of enthalpy, (c) the change of
entropy.
7. Steam undergoes an isentalpic (h=C) process from 1.5MPa, 350C to 10MPa. Find the
final temperature using the Mollier chart.
8. Consider 1kg of water that is heated at constant pressure (0.50 MPa) from a wet state (x1
= 85%) to 400C. Locate the end state points on the Mollier chart and determine (a) the
change of enthalpy and (b) the change of entropy.
