1. Complete the empty cells in the following table. Give your complete calculation for finding the
thermodynamic properties (interpolation calculation, reference table from Moran et.al.
“Fundamental of Engineering Thermodynamics 7th edition”, etc)

2. Consider two tanks A and B connected by a valve shown in the figure, each has a volume of 250
liters. Initially, tank A is filled with R-134a at 25 oC, 15% liquid and 85% vapor by volume, while
tank B is evacuated. The valve is now opened and saturated vapor flows from A to B until the
pressure in B has reached that in A, at which point the valve is closed. This process occurs slowly
such that all temperatures stay at 25 oC throughout the process.
a) How much has the quality changed in tank A during the process?
b) How much has R-134a mass contained in tank?
c) Calculate the heat transferred during the above process, and determine the direction.

Notes:
Known: <State what you know from the problem, 1 – 2 sentences is enough>
Find: <State what need to be find/solve>
Schematic: <Draw schematic diagrams that include boundary system, what is known, Q, W, states, etc.>
Assumption: <State all required assumptions related to the problem>
Analysis: <Systematically write down your analysis>
