ME 200 Thermodynamics – Spring 2019

PREPARING FOR EXAM 1

I. Class Notes, Examples and Quizzes

Review all class notes, examples and quizzes. Do you understand all of the concepts that were
presented and discussed? Could you solve the examples and quizzes without looking at the
solutions?

II. Homework Problems

Be able to solve all of the homework problems without having to look at the solutions!

III. Old Exams

The ME 200 website (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ME200/) has previous exams (Exam 1).


Try to solve the exams in the time normally allotted for a 1.5-hour exam. You can review the
exams solutions but it would better if you tried to solve problems without looking at the solution.

IV. Some Additional Practice Problems

1. Answer the following short questions:

A. Which assumptions are required in order to apply the equation W = P∆V to a system?
Circle all that apply.

a) ideal gas, b) incompressible, c) constant pressure process, d) quasi-equilibrium process

B. A quantity of water is being stored at 20 bar and 50°C.

Which choice is closest to the specific internal energy of the water in kJ/kg?

a) 906.44, b) 2600.3, c) 209.33, d) 2443.5

Which choice is closest to the specific enthalpy of the water in kJ/kg?

a) 209.33, b) 2592.1, c) 908.79, d) 211.2

C. Water at a pressure of 500 kPa and temperature of 500°C is contained in the


piston-cylinder arrangement shown. There is a heat transfer from the water
and the piston begins to move when the pressure reaches 100 kPa. There is
an additional heat transfer until the temperature is 20°C. Depict the process
that the water undergoes on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines
and indicate which phases are present at the beginning of the process,
when the piston begins to move, and at the end of the process. Show appropriate
isothermal lines.

Briefly explain how you arrived at your answers.

2. A small, un-insulated closed cylinder with a freely moving piston contains air and is
accidentally dropped into a lake and falls slowly to the bottom at 100 m below the surface.
Initially, the air in the cylinder is at atmospheric
pressure of 100 kPa with a volume of 0.1 m3 and a
temperature of 20oC. The lake is also at a uniform and
constant temperature of 20oC. As the cylinder falls,
the air is compressed and there is a heat transfer for the
air so that its temperature remains nearly constant at
20 C. Since air can be treated as an ideal gas this
implies that the product of pressure and volume is
constant (PV = constant).

Neglect the mass of the piston, friction, air leakage


from the cylinder, potential energy and kinetic energy
effects for the air and determine the following:

a) Final pressure (kPa) of the air at the lake bottom.


b) Final volume (m3) of the air at the lake bottom.
c) Work done (kJ) by the air in the device for entire process.

3. A used refill container for an automotive air conditioner contains 250 g of R134a. The
container is made of steel and has an internal volume of 500 cm3. Initially the container is in the
house at a temperature of 20oC. However, the owner brings the bottle outside in the hot sun and
the container and R134a temperature rises to 52oC. Do the following:

a) Determine the initial pressure (kPa) of the R134a at the initial temperature.
b) Determine the final pressure (kPa) of the R134a at the final temperature. R134a
c) Depict the process for the R134a on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation
lines showing appropriate isothermal lines.
d) Determine the work done (kJ) by the R134a.
e) Determine the heat transfer (kJ) to the R134a.

4. Given the three processes below for a gas noting that the process 31 returns the closed
system to the original state:

12: PV = constant, ∆U12 = 0 (isothermal), P1 = 1 bar, V1 = 1.6 m3, V2 = 0.2 m3


23: P3 = P2, V3 = V1
31: V = constant, ∆U31 = -3549 kJ

a) Draw the process on a P-V diagram.


b) Determine work and heat transfer (kJ) for each process.

5. Water in a piston cylinder with piston having negligible mass, sitting


on stops & exposed to ambient pressure as shown with the following
conditions: V1 = 1 m3, mwater = 5 kg, T1 = 50oC, Patm = 100 kPa

a) Determine P1 and u1.


b) The mixture is then heated until the piston just begins to move. Determine P2, u2, and Q12.
Show the process on a P-v diagram.
c) The process continues until all the water is a saturated vapor. Show the process on a P-v
diagram. Determine P3, u3, and Q23.
d) There is a heat transfer until the water temperature is 200 C. Show the process on a P-v
diagram. Determine u4 and Q34.

6. An insulated tank is divided into two parts by a partition. One part of the tank contains 2.5 kg
of compressed liquid water at 60°C and 600 kPa while the other part is evacuated. The partition
is now removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. The final pressure is 10 kPa.

a) Determine the final temperature (°C) of the water.


b) Determine the volume (m3) of the tank.
