A piston–cylinder device contains 0.85 kg of refrigerant-134a at -10°C. The piston that is free to move has a mass of 12 kg and a diameter of 25 cm. The local atmospheric pressure is 88 kPa. Now, heat is transferred to refrigerant-134a until the temperature is 10°C. Determine (a) the final pressure, (b) the change in the volume of the cylinder, and (c) the change in the enthalpy of the refrigerant-134a.

A piston–cylinder device contains 5 kg of steam at 100°C with a quality of 50 percent. This steam undergoes two processes as follows: (1-2) Heat is transferred to the steam in a reversible manner while the temperature is held constant until the steam exists as a saturated vapor.(2-3) The steam expands in an adiabatic, reversible process until the pressure is 15 kPa. Sketch these processes with respect to the saturation lines on a single TS diagram and determine the heat...

Refrigerant 134a, initially (state 1) a saturated liquid at -80C, is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly. The water undergoes a process to the corresponding saturated vapor (state 2), during which the piston moves freely in the cylinder. The change of state is brought about by heating the water as it undergoes an internally reversible process at constant pressure and temperature. If the mass of the refrigerant is 0.1 kg, determine (a) heat transfer using first law of thermodynamics in kJ...
