BMFG 2813: THERMOFLUIDS

Question No. 1 (P5-17)

A tank of volume 530 cm3 contains a two-phase mixture of R-134a at –12 oC. The mass of
liquid present is four times the mass of vapor.
a. Find the total mass of R-134a in the tank.
b. Find the volume of liquid present.

Solution P5-17
Solution 2 (P5-19)
A vial of volume 280 cc contains a two-phase mixture of steam and water at 30 oC. The
quality is 0.45. Find the mass in grams.
Solution P5-26
1A rigid tank of volume 0.6 m 3 contains saturated R-134a vapor at 24oC. The contents are
cooled until the temperature is 0oC. How much heat is removed? Show the process on a P-v
diagram.
Solution P5-33
A two-phase mixture of steam and water with a temperature of 160 oC and a quality of 0.6 is
contained in a piston-cylinder assembly. The two-phase mixture, which has a total mass of
0.9 kg, is compressed slowly and isothermally until only saturated liquid is present. What is
the work done on the system?
Solution P5-38
Twelve kilograms of H2O at 800 kPa and 400oC is cooled in a constant pressure process
until 2 kg of liquid water is present. Find the heat transferred.
