A piston-cylinder device contains a saturated mixture of steam and water having a total mass of 0.5 kg at a pressure of 160 kPa and an initial volume of 100 liters. Heat is then added and the fluid expands at constant pressure until it reaches a saturated vapor state.
a) Draw a diagram representing the process showing the initial and final states of the system.
b) Sketch this process on a P-v diagram with respect to the saturation lines, critical point, and relevant constant temperature lines, clearly indicating the initial and final states.
c) Determine the initial quality and temperature of the fluid mixture prior to heating. [quality x1 = 0.182, T1 = 113.3°C]
d) Determine the final volume of the steam after heating. [0.546 m3 (546 liters)]

A mass of 3 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is
contained in a piston-cylinder device at 175 kPa. Initially, 2 kg
of the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor
phase. An electrical heater is in operation, and the piston rises
until it hits a set of stops, which are set at double the initial
volume. Electrical heating continues until the pressure reaches 500
kPa. Determine (a) the initial and final temperatures,...

A piston–cylinder device contains steam that undergoes a
reversible thermodynamic cycle. Initially the steam is at 400 kPa
and 350oC with a volume of 0.3 m3. The steam is first expanded
isothermally to 150 kPa, then compressed adiabatically to the
initial pressure, and finally compressed at the constant pressure
to the initial state. Determine (a) the net work and heat transfer
for the cycle after you calculate the work and heat interaction for
each process and (b) show the cyclic...
