(THERMODYNAMICS) A vertical cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 1.5 kg of H2O initially at 100 °C, 400 kPa. If the volume of the system reaches 0.5 m3, the piston hits a set of stops and is restrained from further upward travel. The system is heated to 200 C. (Use saturated water tables, steam tables, and superheated tables as necessary)
a) If the piston reaches the stops, determine the temperature and pressure when the piston first touches but exerts no force on the stops. If the piston doesn’t reach the stops, find the final volume. Clearly show how you determined whether or not the piston reaches the stops.
b) Calculate the heat and work for the entire process.
c) Show the entire process on a T-v and P-v diagram including the saturation curve.

A piston-cylinder device, whose piston is resting on a set of
stops, initially contains 2 kg of air at 300 kPa and 27ºC. The mass
of the piston is such that a pressure of 600 kPa is required to
move it upward. Heat is now transferred to the air until its volume
doubles.

transferred to the air during this process. c) Also, sketch the

One kg of water in a piston-cylinder assembly,
initially at 1.5 bar and 200 C, cools at constant pressure with no
internal irreversibilities to a final state where the water is a
saturated liquid. For the water as the system, determine the work,
the heat transfer, and the amounts of exergy transfer accompanying
work and heat transfer, each in kJ. Let T0 = 20 °C, p0=1 bar and
ignore the effects of motion and gravity.

A spring loaded piston cylinder contains 1.5 kg of air
at 27°C and 160 kPa. It is
now heated in a process where pressure is linear in volume, P = A +
BV, to twice the
initial volume where it reaches 900 K. Find the work, the heat
transfer and the total
entropy generation assuming a source at 900 K. Is this a possible
process?

A cylinder fitted with a piston has an initial volume of 0.1 m3
and contains nitrogen at 150 kPa, 25 0C. The piston is moved,
compressing the nitrogen until the pressure is 1 MPa and the
temperature is 150 0C. During this compression process heat is
transferred from the nitrogen, and the work done on the nitrogen is
20 kJ. Determine the amount of this heat transfer.
