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
d. Water at 4.0 MPa, Sp. Volume 0.09885 m3/Kg

(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

(9.2.35) Equal quantities by weight of water at +50°C and of ice at –40°C are mixed together.
What will be the final temperature of the mixture?

(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/m2
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?

(9.3.8) A person living in a 4 m × 5 m × 5 m room forgets to turn off a 100 W fan before leaving
the room, which is at 100 kPa, 30°C. Will the room be cooler when the person comes back after 5
hr, assuming zero heat transfer? The heat capacity at constant volume for air is 30 kJ/kg mol.

43.(9.3.25) By use of the steam tables, compute the numerical values for Q, W, ΔH, and ΔU for
the complete process in which 1 lb of liquid water is initially confined in a capsule at 327.8°F and
100 psia within an evacuated vessel of 4.435 ft3 capacity; the capsule is then broken within the
vessel, allowing the water to escape into the evacuated vessel; and finally the water is brought to
the initial temperature (327.8°F).

(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.
