1. Determine the properties of steam in the following cases:
i. Dry saturated steam at 5 bar.
ii. Saturated water at 1 bar.
iii. Dry saturated steam at 240 C.
iv. Dry saturated steam at 101.4 bar.
v. Wet steam at 3 bar and 0.8 dryness.
vi. Wet steam at 310.5 C and 0.75 dryness.
vii. Superheated steam at 1.5 bar and 200 C.
viii. Superheated steam at 6 bar and enthalpy 3010 kJ/kg.

3. Water is being heated in a vertical piston-cylinder device. The piston has a mass of 20
kg and a cross-sectional area of 100 cm 2. If the local atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa,
determine the temperature at which the water will start boiling.

4. Determine the specific volume, internal energy, and enthalpy of compressed liquid water
at 100 oC and 15 MPa.

5. A rigid vessel having a volume of 0.55 m3 is filled with steam at 7 bar and 260 ºC. Heat
is transferred from the steam until it exists at saturated vapor. Calculate the final pressure
and temperature.

6. A rigid tank with a volume of 3.5 m3 contains 7.5 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture
of water at 65 ºC. 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 the saturation lines.

7. A 400 L rigid tank contains 5 kg of air at 25 ºC. Determine the reading on the pressure
gage if the atmospheric pressure is 97 kPa.

8. The pressure gage on a 2 m3 oxygen tank reads 500 kPa. Determine the amount of
oxygen in the tank if the temperature is 25 C and the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa.

9. A 1 m3 tank containing air at 25 C and 500 kPa is connected through a valve to another
tank containing 5 kg of air at 35 C and 200 kPa. Now the valve is opened, and the entire
system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, which at 20 C.
Determine the volume of the second tank and the final equilibrium pressure of air.

10. Argon in the amount of 1.5 kg fills a 0.04 m3 piston-cylinder device at 550 kPa. The
piston is now moved by changing the weights until the volume is twice its original size.
During this process, argon’s temperature is maintained constant. Determine the final
pressure in the device.
