Question 1 (15 Marks)
0.1 kg of a fluid at 0.7 bar 1.2 m3/kg is compressed reversibly to a pressure of 3.5 bar and 0.5
m3/kg, according to the law pv1.85 = constant. The fluid is then heated reversibly at constant
pressure until the specific volume is 0.5346 m3/kg. A reversible expansion, according to the law
pv2 = constant, restores the fluid to its initial state. Sketch the p-v diagram for the process and
determine the net work output of the cycle

Question 2 (5 Marks)
Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 4 500 kg/h. The turbine develops
a power output of 100 kW. At the inlet the pressure is 13.8 bar, specific volume 0.143 m3/kg, specific
internal energy 2590 kJ/kg and velocity 30 m/s. At the exit, the pressure is 0.35 bar, specific volume 4.37
m3/kg, specific internal energy 2360 kJ/kg and velocity 90 m/s. Calculate the heat rejected to the
surroundings in kW.

Specific volume of saturated liquid is 0.4625. The given Specific volume us much higher thus state is
superheated steam
Question 4 (4 Marks)
In an air compressor the pressures at inlet and outlet are 1 bar and 5 bar respectively. The temperature of
the air at inlet is 15°C and at outlet is 207oC. Calculate the increase of internal energy per kg of air. and
the ratio: outlet volume/inlet volume
Question 5 (10 Marks)
Steam at 7 bar, dryness fraction 0.9, expands reversibly at constant pressure until the temperature
is 200o C. Sketch a p-v diagram for the process. Calculate the work output and heat supplied per
unit mass of steam during the process.
