QUESTION 2 [15 MARKS]

a) Refigerant-134a in a frictionless piston-cylinder device undergoes a heating process

from the initial state of 8 bar and 5 oC. If the mass of the refrigerant is 20 kg, find,

i. the volume of the refrigerant,

ii. the temperature at which the refrigerant starts to evaporate,

iii. the percentage of vapor when the volume is 40 L,

iv. Sketch the whole process in T-V diagram.

(6 Marks)

b) Superheated water vapor at 18 bar and 500 °C is allowed to cool at constant volume
until the temperature drops to 270°C. At the final state, determine:

i. The pressure.

ii. The quality and the enthalpy.

iii. Show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.

(5 Marks)

c) Combustion in a diesel engine may be modelled as a constant-pressure heat addition

process with air in the cylinder before and after combustion. Consider a diesel engine
with cylinder conditions of 950 K and 75 cm3 before combustion, and 150 cm3 after it.
The engine operates with an air-fuel ratio of 22 kg air/kg fuel (the mass of the air
divided by the mass of the fuel). Determine the temperature after the combustion
process.
