Tutorial 1

This document contains 6 problems about properties of pure substances involving steam, water, and refrigerants. The problems determine pressure, temperature, volume, density, quality, enthalpy, and internal energy at various states using properties tables and the relationships between these properties during phase changes and other processes. Diagrams are used to illustrate some of the multi-step processes.

Tutorial 1_Properties of Pure Substances

1. A 1.8 m3 rigid tank contains steam at 220°C. One−third of the volume is in the liquid
phase and the rest is in the vapor form. Determine; (a) the pressure of the steam [2320
kPa], (b) the quality of the saturated mixture [0.0269], and (c) the density of the
mixture [287.8 kg/m3].

2. A piston-cylinder device contains 0.85 kg of R−134a at −10°C. The piston that is free
to move has a mass of 12 kg and a diameter of 25 cm. The local atmospheric pressure
is 88 kPa. Now, heat is transferred to R−134a until the temperature is 15°C.
Determine (a) the final pressure [90.4 kPa], (b) the change in the volume of the
cylinder [0.0205 m3] and (c) the change in the enthalpy of the R−134a [17.4 kJ].
3. One kilogram of water fills a 0.1546 m3 weighted piston-cylinder device at a
temperature of 350°C. The piston-cylinder device is now cooled until its temperature
is 100°C. Determine the final pressure of water [1.8 MPa] and the volume [0.001043
m3]. Also, show the process in P-V diagram.
4. 100 kg of R−134a at 200 kPa are contained in a piston-cylinder device whose volume
is 12.322 m3. The piston is now moved until the volume is half of its original size.
This is done such that the pressure of the R-134a does not change. Determine the final
temperature [−10.09°C] and the change in the total specific internal energy of the R-
134a [−110.6 kJ/kg].
5. A rigid tank contains steam at 1.4 MPa and 250°C. It is then cooled until the
temperature drops to 120°C. At the final stage, determine (a) the pressure [198.7
kPa], (b) the quality [0.1825], and (c) the specific enthalpy [905.7 kJ/kg]. Also, show
the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
6. Water initially at 200 kPa and 300°C is contained in a piston-cylinder device fitted
with stops. The water is allowed to cool at constant pressure until it exists as a
saturated vapor and the piston rests on the stops. Then the water continues to cool
until the pressure is 100 kPa. Sketch the T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines,
the process curves passing through both the initial, intermediate, and the final states of
the water. Find the overall change in internal energy between the initial and final
states per unit mass of water [1300 kJ/kg].
