MCL142 Tutorial 5

Q1. One kg superheated steam at 1 bar and 300°C contained in a piston-cylinder


assembly is kept at ambient conditions of 27°C and the steam is allowed to condense
to saturated liquid at 1 bar due to radiation to the surroundings. Calculate the change
in entropy of steam, the surroundings and the universe. Ans: -6.91 kJ/K, 8.86 kJ/K,
1.94 kJ/K.

Q2. Determine the quality of wet steam at 200°C with a specific volume of 0.095
m3/kg. Ans: 0.7445

Q3. A rigid tank of 0.03 m3 contains a mixture of liquid water and water vapour at
80 kPa. The mass of the mixture in the tank is 12 kg. Calculate the heat added and
the quality of the mixture when the pressure inside the tank is raised to 7 MPa.
Ans: 11.075 MJ

Q4. A piston-cylinder device initially contains 120 litres of liquid water at 30°C and
200 kPa. Heat is transferred to the water at constant pressure until the entire liquid
is vaporized. Determine (a) the mass of the water, (b) the final temperature, (c) the
total enthalpy change, and (d) the total entropy change.
Ans. (a) 119.52 kg, (b) 120.23°C, (c) 308.47 MJ, (d) 799.62 kJ/K

Q5. A rigid tank contains 10 kg of water at 90°C. If 8 kg of the water is in the liquid
form and the rest is in the vapor form, determine (a) the pressure in the tank and (b)
the volume of the tank. Ans. (a) 70.18kPa, (b) 4.73m3

Q6. A piston–cylinder device initially contains 50 L of liquid water at 40°C and 200
kPa. Heat is transferred to the water at constant pressure until the entire liquid is
vaporized. (a) What is the mass of the water? (b) What is the final temperature? (c)
Determine the total enthalpy change. (d) Show the process on a T-v diagram with
respect to saturation lines. Ans: (a) 49.61 kg, (b) 120.21°C, (c) 125,943 kJ
