SEMESTER II 2023/2024

1. A well-insulated rigid tank contains 2 kg of a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at


150 kPa. Initially, three-quarters of the mass is in the liquid phase. An electric resistor
placed in the tank is connected to a 110-V source, a current of 8 A flows through the
resistor when the switch is turned on. Determine how long it will take to vaporize all the
liquid in the tank. Also, show the process on T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.

2. 1-kg of oxygen is heated from 20 to 120oC. Determine the amount of heat transfer required
when this is done during a (a) constant-volume process and (b) isobaric process.

3. A rigid tank containing 0.4 m of air at 400 kPa and 30oC is connected by a valve to a
3

piston-cylinder device with zero clearance. The mass of the piston is such that a pressure
of 200 kPa is required to raise the piston. The valve is now opened slightly, and air is
allowed to flow into the cylinder until the pressure in the tank drops to 200 kPa. During
this process, heat is exchanged with the surroundings such that the entire air remains at
30 C at all times. Determine the heat transfer for this process.

4. An adiabatic gas turbine expands air at 1300 kPa and 500oC to 100 kPa and 127oC. Air
enters the turbine through a 0.2-m2 opening with an average velocity of 40 m/s, and
exhausts through a 1-m2 opening. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of air through the
turbine and (b) the power produced by the turbine.
5. Air is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 600 kPa and 927°C and occupies a volume
of 0.8 m 3. The air undergoes and isothermal (constant temperature) process until the
pressure in reduced to 300 kPa. The piston is now fixed in place and not allowed to move
while a heat transfer process takes place until the air reaches 27oC.
(a) Sketch the system showing the energies crossing the boundary and the P-V diagram
for the combined processes.
(b) For the combined process, determine the net amount of heat transfer, in kJ, and its
direction.

6. Steam enters a steady-flow turbine with a mass flow rate of 20 kg/s at 600ºC, 5 MPa, and
a negligible velocity. The steam expands in the turbine to a saturated vapor at 500 kPa
where 10 percent of the steam is removed for some other use. The remainder of the steam
continues to expand to the turbine exit where the pressure 10 kPa and quality is 85 percent.
If the turbine is adiabatic, determine the rate of work done by the steam during this process.

7. Refrigerant-134a enters a compressor at 180 kPa as saturated vapor with a flow rate of
0.35 m3/min and leaves at 700 kPa. The power supplied to the refrigerant during
compression process is 2.35 kW. What is the temperature of R-134a at the exit of the
compressor?

8. Saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water, called wet steam in a steam line at 2000 kPa is
throttled to 100 kPa and 120oC. What is the quality in the steam line?

9. A chilled-water heat exchange unit is designed to cool 5 m3/s of air at 100 kPa and 30oC
to 100 kPa and 18oC by using water at 8oC. Determine the maximum water outlet
temperature when the mass flow rate of the water is 2 kg/s.

10. The evaporator of a refrigeration cycle is basically a heat exchanger in which a refrigerant
is evaporated by adsorbing heat from a fluid. Refrigerant-22 enters an evaporator at 200
kPa with a quality of 22 percent and a flow rate of 2.25 L/h. R-22 leaves the evaporator at
the same pressure superheated by 5oC. The refrigerant is evaporated by adsorbing heat
from air whose flow rate is 0.5 kg/s. Determine (a) the rate of heat adsorbed from the air
and (b) the temperature change of air. The properties of R-22 at the inlet and exit of the
condenser are h1=220.2 kJ/kg, v1=0.0253 m3/kg, and h2=398.0 kJ/kg.
