MIDTERM EXAM- Thermodynamics 2 (ME 221) March 21, 2024

Instruction: Solve each problem and choose the letter that corresponds to your answer. Your solution
to each problem is highly needed.

1. A mass of 5 kg of saturated water vapor at 140 KPa is heated at constant pressure until the temperature
reaches 220°C. Calculate the work done in Kilojoules by the steam during this process.
A) 214 KJ B)114 KJ C) 150 KJ D) None of these

2. The main steam turbine of a ship is supplied by two steam generators. One steam generator delivers
steam at 6.0 MPa and 500 degrees Celsius, and the other delivers steam at 6.0 MPa and 580 degrees
Celsius. Determine the steam enthalpy in KJ/kg at the entrance to the turbine.
A) 3214.50 KJ/kg B) 3481.8 KJ/kg C) 3250.5 KJ/kg D) None of these

3. A constant-pressure piston/cylinder assembly contains 0.2 kg of water as saturated vapor at 400 KPa.
It is now cooled so that the water occupies half of the original volume. Find the work done in the process.
A) -18.5 KJ B) -34.8 KJ C) 19.50 KJ D) None of these

4. A piston/cylinder contains 1.5 kg of water at 200 KPa, 150◦C. It is now heated by a process in which
pressure is linearly related to volume to a state of 600 KPa, 350◦C. Find the work in the process.
A) -291.24 KJ B) -340.84 KJ C) 219.50 KJ D) None of these

5. Saturated water vapor at 200 KPa is in a constant pressure piston/cylinder. At this state, the piston is
0.1 m from the cylinder bottom and the cylinder area is 0.25 𝑚2 . The temperature is then changed to
200◦C. Find the work in the process.
A) 1100 Joules B)-1400 Joules C) 1900 Joules D) None of these
