Engineering Thermodynamics (CH161)

Tutorial-5

1. Calculate the total work, in Btu, for process 1–3 shown


in Fig.

2. 1-kg of carbon dioxide is compressed from 1 MPa and 200°C to 3 MPa in a piston-cylinder
device arranged to execute a polytropic process for which PV1.2 = constant. Determine the
final temperature treating the carbon dioxide as (a) an ideal gas and (b) a van der Waals gas.

3. Determine the internal energy change of hydrogen, in kJ/kg, as it is heated from 200 to 800
K, using (a) the empirical specific heat equation as a function of temperature (Table A–2c),
(b) the cv value at the average temperature (Table A–2b), and (c) the cv value at room
temperature (Table A–2a).

4. Complete the table below based on the conservation of energy principle for a closed
system.
Qin Wout E1 E2 m e2 - e1
(kJ) (kJ) (kJ) (kJ) (kg) (kJ/kg)
350 --- 1020 860 3 ---
350 130 550 --- 5 ---
--- 260 600 --- 2 150
-500 --- 1400 900 7 ---
--- -50 1000 --- 3 -200

5. An insulated tank is divided into two parts by a partition. One part of the tank contains 2.5
kg of compressed liquid water at 60°C and 600 kPa while the other part is evacuated. The
partition is now removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. Determine the final
temperature of the water and the volume of the tank for a final pressure of 10 kPa.
6. 1-kg of water that is initially at 90°C with a quality of 10 percent occupies a spring-loaded
piston–cylinder device, such as that in below Fig. This device is now heated until the
pressure rises to 800 kPa and the temperature is 250°C. Determine the total work produced
during this process, in kJ.

7. Stainless steel ball bearings (ρ = 8085 kg/m3 and cp = 0.480 kJ/kg·ºC) having a diameter of
1.2 cm are to be quenched in water at a rate of 800 per minute. The balls leave the oven at
a uniform temperature of 900ºC and are exposed to air at 25ºC for a while before they are
dropped into the water. If the temperature of the balls drops to 850ºC prior to quenching,
determine the rate of heat transfer from the balls to the air.

8. Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 4
MPa, 500oC, and 80 m/s, and the exit conditions are 30 kPa, 92 percent quality, and 50 m/s.
The mass flow rate of the steam is 12 kg/s. Determine (a) the change in kinetic energy, (b)
the power output, and (c) the turbine inlet area.

9. Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigeration system as saturated vapor at 0.14


MPa, and leaves as superheated vapor at 0.8 MPa and 60°C at a rate of 0.06 kg/s.
Determine the rates of energy transfers by mass into and out of the compressor. Assume
the kinetic and potential energies to be negligible.
