3- A piston – cylinder device initialy contains 50 L of water at 200 oC and 200 kPa. Heat is removed
from the water at constant pressure unitl the entire gas is condensed to saturated liquid.
a) What is the mass of the water?

Answer:

V =50 L=0.05 m3 ; T 0=200 ° C ; P=200 KPa=0.2 MPa → Superheated water

 Superheated water – Table A-6:

m3
For the specified temperature and pressure, the specific volume is υ=1.080
kg

0.05 m3
V m= =0.04629 kg
We can use m= to determine the mass. m3
υ 1.080

b) What is the final temperature?

Answer: At the final state, the cylinder contains saturated water. Using Table A-5 (saturated
water), it can be determined that at 200KPa, the saturation temperature is 120.21° C
c) Determine the total enthalpy change in (kJ).

Answer: Since, the mass, the initial, and the final enthalpy are known(or can be found in the
thermodynamics tables), the enthalpy change Δ H can be determined using the following formula:
Δ H =m∗( hfinal −h initial )

kJ kJ
where m=0.04629 kg ; hfinal =504.71 ; hinitial=2870.7
kg kg
Therefore, Δ H =0.04629∗ (504.71−2870.7 ) kJ =109.489 kJ

4- A piston –cylinder device initialy contains 1.87 kg of water at 400 kPa. Heat is added till the pistion

Determine:
a) The initial temperature

Answer: At this point, the initial volume, mass and pressure are known, therfore, we can firstly use
these properties to calculate the specific volume, and then to determine the initial temperature.

According to table A-6 – when looking at the pressire ad volume values, the saturated
temperature is between 600 ℃∧700 ℃ - 650 ℃

c) The enthalpy change in (kJ)
