1. Twenty kilograms of water at 40oC is confined in a rigid vessel.
The heat is supplied until
all the water is completely vaporized. Find the heat added in KJ. 2. Superheated water vapor at 180 psia and 5008F is allowed to cool at constant volume until the temperature drops to 2508F. At the final state, determine the pressure in psia 3. A tank contains 0.50 m3/kg of steam. Heat is transferred at constant volume until the pressure reaches 100 kpa. Determine the final steam quality in percent. 4. A 1 kg steam-water mixture at 1.0 Mpa is contained in an inflexible tank. Heat is added until the pressure rises to 3.5 Mpa and 400oC. Determine the heat added in KJ. 5. Steam at 2 MPa and 250°C in a rigid cylinder is cooled until the quality is 30%. Find the heat rejected from the cylinder in kj/kg. 6. One kilogram of steam at 121°C and 10% moisture undergoes a constant volume process until the pressure becomes 0.28 Mpa. Determine the final temperature. 7. Steam is compressed isothermally from 13 psia and 90 oF to 80 psia in a reversible steady-flow device. Calculate the work required, in Btu/lbm, for this compression 8. Mixture with 60% quality at 500 Kpa is heated isometrically until its pressure is 300 kpa. Find the heat added during the process. 9. One kg of steam at 260°C and with enthalpy of 1861 KJ/kg is confined in a rigid container. Heat is added until the steam becomes saturated. Determine the heat added in KJ 10. Superheated water vapor at 180 psia and 500 oF is allowed to cool at constant volume until the temperature drops to 250 oF. At the final state, determine the enthalpy in Btu/lbm. 11. Superheated water vapor at 180 psia and 500 oF is allowed to cool at constant volume until the temperature drops to 250 oF. At the final state, determine the quality in percent.
