1 kg of saturated steam at 1000 kPa is in a piston-cylinder and the massless cylinder is held in place by pins. The pins are removed and the system suddenly and adiabatically expands to 5x its original volume before the piston hits a pair of upper pins. The expansion takes place against an atmosphere is 60 kPa. What is the final specific internal energy of the system? The answer will be in kJ/kg.

Expert Solution

Since mass is 1 kg so both specific and total value will be same.

The piston cylinder contains 4 kg of saturated water vapor with 200 kPa. The heat is rejected from the water, and the piston moves from the stops when the pressure reaches 100 kPa. Then the heat is rejected until the total volume decrease to 30% from the initial volume. Determine the work done and heat transfer during this process, show the process on a P-V diagram.

Saturated water vapor at 1000 kPa is throttled to 100 kPa. The velocity of the steam remains constant through the process. Determine the exit temperature of the water vapor. I know this is already awnsered in a solution for 1st edition but can someone help me understand what they do and how they picked the numbers they did from some table to get the exit temperature?

Inside a piston cylinder, there is wet steam at a temperature of 6 kg at a temperature of 120 °C and 0.6 dryness. The steam in this reciprocating cylinder is given 120 kj of heat from the outside. In addition, 25 kj of work is done by a propeller in the steam in the cylinder. As it is known that the process takes place at constant pressure and in the second case, the temperature is 200 °C; a) Show the...

One kilogram of boiling water is vaporized to steam at 100 kPa in a frictionless piston-and-cylinder device. Using the Steam Tables, answer the following: Is the heat needed to vaporize the water to steam equal to the change in enthalpy? Or TDS? To calculate the work done by the steam, is the first law of thermodynamics equation or the general equation for work applicable? Is the entropy generation equal to the change in entropy of the water? Does the heat...

A piston-cylinder arrangement containing steam at 200 kPa and 200°C is cooled at a constant volume of 0.5 m3 until it reaches 140 kPa. (a) Calculate the amount of mass of steam in the cylinder (kg) (b) Find the quality (x) of the steam once it reaches 140 kPa Then the piston is allowed to float freely (maintaining a constant pressure, but changing volume), while 50% of the steam is released from the piston. Once the release is done, you...

A piston–cylinder device initially contains 2 kg water in 1 m3 at 500 kPa. The system then cools down and the volume drops to half and pressure of 300 kPa. At this state, the piston is resting on a set of stops, and the mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 500 kPa is required to move it.
