Question 1a

a) A pistoncylinder device initially contains 50 L of liquid water at 40C and 200 kPa. Heat is
transferred to the water at constant pressure until the entire liquid is vaporized.
(I) What is the mass of the water?
[4 marks]
(II) What is the final temperature?
[4 marks]
(III) Determine the total enthalpy change.
[4 marks]
(IV) Show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
[3 marks]

Question 1b [15 Marks]

Air enters an adiabatic nozzle steadily at 300 kPa, 200C, and 30 m/s and leaves at 100 kPa and
180 m/s. The inlet area of the nozzle is 80 cm2. Determine: (I) the mass flow rate through the
nozzle, (II) the exit temperature of the air, and (III) the exit area of the nozzle.
