CPC (CH 21103) Problem Sheet by RM

(9.2.17) Find the value of internal energy for water (relative to the reference state) for the states
indicated:
a. Water at 0.4 MPa, 725°C
b. Water at 3.0 MPa, 0.01 m3/kg
c. Water at 1.0 MPa, 100°C

(9.2.2) A gas is contained in a horizontal piston-cylinder apparatus at a pressure of 350 kPa and a
volume of 0.02 m3. Determine the work done by the piston on the gas if the cylinder volume is
increased to 0.15 m3 through heating. Assume the pressure of the gas remains constant
throughout the process, and that the process is ideal.

(9.2.42) You have calculated that the specific enthalpy of 1 kg mol of an ideal gas at 300 kN/m 2
and 100°C is 6.05 × 105 J/kg mol (with reference to 0°C and 100 kN/m2). What is the specific
internal energy of the gas at 300kPa and 100°C?

(9.2.14) Calculate the heat transfer to the atmosphere per second from a circular pipe, 5 cm in
diameter and 100 m long, carrying steam at an average temperature of 120°C if the surroundings
are at 20°C. The heat transfer can be estimated from the relation

Q = hAΔT

where
h = 5 J/(s)(m2)(°C)
A is the surface area of the pipe
ΔT is the temperature difference between the surface of the pipe and ambient
Conditions.

(9.2.18) Steam is used to cool a polymer reaction. The steam in the steam chest of the apparatus
is found to be at 250.5°C and 4000 kPa absolute during a routine measurement at the beginning
of the day. At the end of the day the measurement showed that the temperature was 650°C and
the pressure 10,000 kPa absolute. What was the internal energy change of 1kg of steam in the
chest during the day? Obtain your data from the steam tables.

(9.2.32) A closed vessel contains steam at 1000.0 psia in a 4-to-1 vapor - volume - to – liquid
volume ratio. What is the steam quality? Given 1 psi = 6.894 KPa

(9.3.26) 4 kilograms of superheated steam at 700 kPa and 500 K are cooled in a tank to 400 K.
Calculate the heat transfer involved.

Extra Problem: A cylinder contains 1 Kg of steam at 600C and 1.3 MPa pressure. It is
connected to an identical cylinder by a valve (initially closed) which is evacuated. After opening
the valve, the final temperature remains 400 C. Find the condition of the steam, and also Q, W,
U and H of the process.
