Tutorial 2

This document provides a tutorial on thermodynamics concepts related to the first law of thermodynamics and energy transfer of closed systems. It includes 8 practice problems related to calculating work, heat transfer, temperature, pressure, and other thermodynamic properties for systems involving phase changes of water and refrigerants. The problems cover a range of thermodynamic processes including heating, cooling, isothermal condensation/expansion, and constant pressure cooling of gases and vapors in closed piston-cylinder systems.

Tutorial – EET106 Thermodynamics

(B): First Law of Thermodynamics

1. What are the three mechanisms for transferring energy to or from a system?

2. On a hot summer day, a student turns his fan on when he leaves his room in the morning.
When he returns in the evening, will the room be warmer or cooler than the neighboring
rooms? Why? Assume all the doors and windows are kept closed.

(C): Energy Transfer of Closed Systems

1. A mass of 5 kg of saturated water vapor at 300 kPa is heated at constant pressure until the
temperature reaches 200°C. Calculate the work done by the steam during this process. (Ans:
166 kJ)

2. Saturated water vapor at 200°C is isothermally condensed to a saturated liquid in a piston-


cylinder device. Calculate the work done and the heat transfer during this process, in kJ/kg.
(Ans: -196 kJ/kg, -1939.74 kJ/kg)

3. A rigid 10-L vessel initially contains a mixture of liquid water and vapor at 100 oC with 12.3%
quality. The mixture is then heated until its temperature is 150 oC. Calculate the heat transfer
required for this process. (Ans: 46.9 kJ)

4. A piston-cylinder device initially contains 370 grams steam at 200 kPa, 200°C. Heat is now
slowly transferred to the steam, causing the temperature to rise to 400°C. Determine the work
done by the steam, and the total heat transferred. (Ans: 34.695 kJ, 150.357 kJ)

5. 0.75 kg water that is initially at 0.5 MPa and 30 percent quality occupies a spring-loaded
piston-cylinder device. This device is now cooled until the water is a saturated liquid at
100°C. Calculate the total work produced during this process, in kJ. (Ans: -25.3 kJ)

6. Steam at 75 kPa and 8% quality is contained in a spring-loaded piston-cylinder device as


shown in Figure with an initial volume of 2 m3. Steam is now heated until its volume is 5 m 3
and its pressure is 225 kPa. Determine the heat transferred to and the work produced by the
steam during this process.
(Ans: 450 kJ, 12750 kJ)

7. Saturated R-134a vapor at 40°C is isothermally condensed at constant pressure to a saturated


liquid in a closed piston-cylinder system. Calculate the work done and heat transfer during
this process, in kJ/kg.
(Ans: -19.41 kJ/kg, -163 kJ/kg)

8. A piston-cylinder device contains steam initially at 1 MPa, 450°C, and 2.5 m 3. Steam is
allowed to cool at constant pressure until it first starts condensing. Show the process on a T-v
diagram with respect to saturation lines and determine: (Ans: 7.568 kg, 179.88°C, 4495 kJ)
a) The mass of the steam
b) The final temperature
c) The amount of heat transfer
