Problem Solution Set 2

1. A mass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kPa and 24°C is contained in a gas-tight,


frictionless piston–cylinder device. The air is now compressed to a final
pressure of 600 kPa. During the process, heat is transferred from the air such
that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. Calculate the work
input during this process.

Solution:

2. During some actual expansion and compression processes in piston–cylinder


devices, the gases have been observed to satisfy the relationship PVn = C, where
n and C are constants. Calculate the work done when a gas expands from 350
kPa and 0.03 m3 to a final volume of 0.2 m3 for the case of n = 1.5.

Solution:
3. A rigid tank contains 5 kg of saturated liquid water at 30°C. The tank is heated
to a final temperature of 120oC with an electrical resistor that draws 20 A with
100 V. Assuming no heat transfer outside from the tank, determine the time
required for this process. Show the process on a P-v diagram.

Solution:
4. A 5-m3 rigid insulated tank is connected through a valve to a supply line that
carries steam at 300°C. Now the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to flow
slowly into the tank until the pressure in the tank becomes 2 MPa. At this instant
the tank temperature is measured to be 400°C. Determine the mass of the steam
that has entered and the pressure of the steam in the supply line.

Solution:
5. Air at 600 kPa and 500 K enters a nozzle that has an inlet-to-exit area ratio of 2:1
with a velocity of 120 m/s and leaves with a velocity of 380 m/s. If the heat rate to the
ambient surrounding is 5 kW and the mass low rate is 5 kg/s, determine
(a) the exit temperature and
(b) the exit pressure of the air.

Solution:

6. A 3-m3 rigid tank initially containing saturated water vapor at 1.2 MPa is
connected through a valve to a supply line that carries steam at 500°C. Now the
valve is opened, and steam is allowed to flow slowly into the tank until the
pressure in the tank rises to 2 MPa. At this instant the tank temperature is
measured to be 300°C. The heat loss from the tank during this process is 200
kJ. Determine the mass of the steam that has entered and the pressure of the
steam in the supply line.
