1. A rigid tank with a volume of 1.8 m3 contains 15 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at
90˚C. Now, the water is slowly heated. Determine the temperature at which the liquid in the
tank is completely vaporized. Also, show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation
lines.
[Ans: 202.9˚C]
2. Superheated water vapor at 1.4 MPa and 250˚C is allowed to cool at constant volume until the
temperature drops to 120˚C. At the final state, determine (a) the pressure (b) quality, and (c) the
enthalpy. Also, show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
4. A piston-cylinder device initially contains 50 L of liquid water at 40˚C and 200 kPa. Heat is
transferred to the water at constant pressure until the entire liquid is vaporized
a. What is the mass of the water
b. What is the final temperature
c. Determine the total enthalpy change
d. Show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
[Ans: (a) 49.61 kg, (b) 120.21˚C, (c) 125, 950 kJ]
