1. Complete this table for H2O:

2. A rigid tank with a volume of 2.5 m 3 contains 15 kg of saturated liquid–


vapor mixture of water at 75°C. Now the water is slowly heated.
a) Determine the initial state of the system
b) Determine the temperature at which the liquid in the tank is
completely vaporized.
c) Also, show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation
lines.
3. A rigid vessel contains 2 kg of refrigerant-134a at 800 kPa and 120°C.
Determine the volume of the vessel and the total internal energy.
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.
5. A 0.3-m3 rigid vessel initially contains saturated liquid–vapor mixture of
water at 150°C. The water is now heated until it reaches the critical state.
Determine the mass of the liquid water and the volume occupied by the
liquid at the initial state. (Use TABLE A –1 for critical property of
substance)
6. A piston–cylinder device contains 0.8 kg of steam at 300°C and 1 MPa.
Steam is cooled at constant pressure until one-half of the mass condenses.
a) Show the process on a T-v diagram.
b) Find the final temperature.
c) Determine the volume change.
8. A rigid tank contains 20 lbm of air at 20 psia and 70°F. More air is added to
the tank until the pressure and temperature rise to 35 psia and 90°F,
respectively. Determine the amount of air added to the tank.
9. Determine the specific volume of superheated water vapor at 3.5 MPa and
450°C based on (a) the ideal-gas equation, (b) the generalized
compressibility chart, and (c) the steam tables. Determine the error involved
in the first two cases.
10. A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at 300 kPa and 600 K. Now half of the
gas is withdrawn from the tank and the gas is found at 100 kPa at the end of
the process. Determine (a) the final temperature of the gas and (b) the final
pressure if no mass was withdrawn from the tank and the same final
temperature was reached at the end of the process.
11. A piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.2 kg of steam at 200 kPa and
300°C. Now, the steam is cooled at constant pressure until it is at 150°C.
Determine the volume change of the cylinder during this process using the
compressibility factor and compare the result to the actual value.
12. A 20-m3 tank contains nitrogen at 23°C and 600 kPa. Some nitrogen is
allowed to escape until the pressure in the tank drops to 400 kPa. If the
temperature at this point is 20°C, determine the amount of nitrogen that has
escaped.
