5-121 A large reservoir supplies steam to a balloon whose initial state is specified. The final temperature in
the balloon and the boundary work are to be determined.
Analysis Noting that the volume changes linearly with the pressure, the final volume and the initial mass
are determined from
P1 = 100 kPa 3
v 1 = 1.9367 m /kg (Table A-6) Steam
T1 = 150C 150 kPa
200C
P2 150 kPa
V2 = V1 = (50 m 3 ) = 75 m 3
P1 100 kPa
V1 50 m 3
m1 = = = 25.82 kg
v 1 1.9367 m 3 /kg
The final temperature may be determined if we first calculate specific Steam
volume at the final state 50 m3
V2 V2 75 m 3 100 kPa
v2 = = = = 1.4525 m 3 /kg 150C
m2 2m1 2 (25.82 kg)
P2 = 150 kPa
3 T2 = 202.5C (Table A-6)
v 2 = 1.4525 m /kg
Noting again that the volume changes linearly with the pressure, the boundary work can be determined
from
P1 + P2 (100 + 150)kPa

5-122 Steam in a supply line is allowed to enter an initially evacuated tank. The temperature of the steam in
the supply line and the flow work are to be determined.
Analysis Flow work of the steam in the supply line is converted to sensible internal energy in the tank.
That is,
hline = u tank Steam 4 MPa
Ptank = 4 MPa
where u tank = 3189.5 kJ/kg (Table A-6)
Ttank = 550C
Now, the properties of steam in the line can be calculated
Initially
Pline = 4 MPa Tline = 389.5 C evacuated
(Table A-6)
hline = 3189.5 kJ/kg u line = 2901.5 kJ/kg
The flow work per unit mass is the difference between enthalpy and internal energy of the steam in the line
wflow = hline u line = 3189.5 2901.5 = 288 kJ/kg

T2 = = = 458.4 K
m 2 R (0.2280 kg)(0.287 kJ/kg.K)
Noting that pressure remains constant during the process, the boundary work is determined from

Analysis We take the tank as the system, which is a control volume since mass crosses the boundary.
Noting that the microscopic energies of flowing and nonflowing fluids are represented by enthalpy h and
internal energy u, respectively, the mass and energy balances for this uniform-flow system can be
expressed as

Discussion A negative result for heat transfer indicates that the assumed direction is wrong, and should be
reversed.

superheated steam is allowed to enter the cylinder until the volume doubles at constant pressure. The final
temperature in the cylinder and the mass of the steam that entered are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 This is an unsteady process since the conditions within the device are changing during the

constant. 2 The expansion process is quasi-equilibrium. 3 Kinetic and potential energies are negligible. 3
There are no work interactions involved other than boundary work. 4 The device is insulated and thus heat

Ti = 350C
Analysis (a) We take the cylinder as the system, which is a control volume since mass crosses the
boundary. Noting that the microscopic energies of flowing and nonflowing fluids are represented by
enthalpy h and internal energy u, respectively, the mass and energy balances for this uniform-flow system
can be expressed as
Mass balance: min mout = msystem mi = m2 m1
Combining the two relations gives 0 = Wb,out (m2 m1 )hi + m2u2 m1u1
The boundary work done during this process is

Then by trial and error (or using EES program), T2 = 261.7C and v2 = 0.4858 m3/kg
(b) The final mass in the cylinder is

5-131 A cylinder initially contains saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water. The cylinder is connected to a
supply line, and the steam is allowed to enter the cylinder until all the liquid is vaporized. The final
temperature in the cylinder and the mass of the steam that entered are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 This is an unsteady process since the conditions within the device are changing during the
process, but it can be analyzed as a uniform-flow process since the state of fluid at the inlet remains
constant. 2 The expansion process is quasi-equilibrium. 3 Kinetic and potential energies are negligible. 3
There are no work interactions involved other than boundary work. 4 The device is insulated and thus heat
transfer is negligible.
Properties The properties of steam are (Tables A-4 through A-6)
P1 = 200 kPa
h1 = h f + x1h fg = 504.71 + 0.6 2201.6 = 1825.6 kJ/kg

sat. vapor Ti = 350C
Pi = 0.5 MPa
hi = 3168.1 kJ/kg
Ti = 350C
Analysis (a) The cylinder contains saturated vapor at the final state at a pressure of 200 kPa, thus the final
temperature in the cylinder must be
T2 = Tsat @ 200 kPa = 120.2C
(b) We take the cylinder as the system, which is a control volume since mass crosses the boundary. Noting
that the microscopic energies of flowing and nonflowing fluids are represented by enthalpy h and internal
energy u, respectively, the mass and energy balances for this uniform-flow system can be expressed as
Mass balance: min mout = msystem mi = m2 m1
Combining the two relations gives 0 = Wb,out (m2 m1 )hi + m2u2 m1u1
or, 0 = (m2 m1 )hi + m2h2 m1h1
since the boundary work and U combine into H for constant pressure expansion and compression
processes. Solving for m2 and substituting,
m2 =
hi h1
m1 =
(3168.1 1825.6) kJ/kg (10 kg ) = 29.07 kg
hi h2 (3168.1 2706.3) kJ/kg
Thus,
mi = m2 - m1 = 29.07 - 10 = 19.07 kg

5-138 An insulated rigid tank initially contains helium gas at high pressure. A valve is opened, and half of
the mass of helium is allowed to escape. The final temperature and pressure in the tank are to be
determined.
Assumptions 1 This is an unsteady process since the conditions within the device are changing during the
process, but it can be analyzed as a uniform-flow process by using constant average properties for the
helium leaving the tank. 2 Kinetic and potential energies are negligible. 3 There are no work interactions
involved. 4 The tank is insulated and thus heat transfer is negligible. 5 Helium is an ideal gas with constant
specific heats.
Properties The specific heat ratio of helium is k =1.667 (Table A-2).
Analysis We take the tank as the system, which is a control volume since mass crosses the boundary.
Noting that the microscopic energies of flowing and nonflowing fluids are represented by enthalpy h and

5-139E An insulated rigid tank equipped with an electric heater initially contains pressurized air. A valve is
opened, and air is allowed to escape at constant temperature until the pressure inside drops to 30 psia. The
amount of electrical work transferred is to be determined.
Assumptions 1 This is an unsteady process since the conditions within the device are changing during the
process, but it can be analyzed as a uniform-flow process since the exit temperature (and enthalpy) of air
remains constant. 2 Kinetic and potential energies are negligible. 3 The tank is insulated and thus heat
transfer is negligible. 4 Air is an ideal gas with variable specific heats.
Properties The gas constant of air is R =0.3704 psia.ft3/lbm.R (Table A-1E). The properties of air are
(Table A-17E)
Ti = 580 R
hi = 138.66 Btu / lbm
T1 = 580 R
u1 = 98.90 Btu / lbm
T2 = 580 R u2 = 98.90 Btu / lbm
Analysis We take the tank as the system, which is a control volume since mass crosses the boundary.
Noting that the microscopic energies of flowing and nonflowing fluids are represented by enthalpy h and
internal energy u, respectively, the mass and energy balances for this uniform-flow system can be
expressed as

5-140 A vertical cylinder initially contains air at room temperature. Now a valve is opened, and air is
allowed to escape at constant pressure and temperature until the volume of the cylinder goes down by half.
The amount air that left the cylinder and the amount of heat transfer are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 This is an unsteady process since the conditions within the device are changing during the
process, but it can be analyzed as a uniform-flow process since the exit temperature (and enthalpy) of air
remains constant. 2 Kinetic and potential energies are negligible. 3 There are no work interactions. 4 Air is
an ideal gas with constant specific heats. 5 The direction of heat transfer is to the cylinder (will be
verified).
Properties The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa.m3/kg.K (Table A-1).
Analysis (a) We take the cylinder as the system, which is a control volume since mass crosses the
boundary. Noting that the microscopic energies of flowing and nonflowing fluids are represented by
enthalpy h and internal energy u, respectively, the mass and energy balances for this uniform-flow system
can be expressed as

Then from the mass balance,
me = m1 m2 = 0.714 0.357 = 0.357 kg
(b) This is a constant pressure process, and thus the Wb and the U terms can be combined into H to yield
Q = me he + m2 h2 m1h1
Noting that the temperature of the air remains constant during this process, we have hi = h1 = h2 = h.
Also, me = m2 = 1

equilibrium. 4 Kinetic and potential energies are negligible. 5 There are no work interactions involved
other than boundary work. 6 Heat transfer is negligible.
