Q2 : C lass Exam ple 1 :


G ive n air in a cylinde r w ith stops and a frictionle ss piston w ith are a A = 0.2 m 2 ,
stop he ig ht of 1 m , and total he ig ht of 2 m , at initial state P 1 = 2 00 kP a and
T 1 = 500 ◦C w ith cooling , find
• The te m pe rature w he n the piston re ache s the stops, and
• The pre ssure if the cooling continue s to T = 2 0 ◦C .
Q3 : C lass Exam ple 2 :
G ive n a ve sse l w ith V = 0 .4 m 3 fille d w ith m = 2 kg of H 2 O at P = 600 kP a, find
• The volum e and m ass of liquid, and
• The volum e and m ass of vapor.
Q 4: C lass Exam ple 3:
C onsider m = 1 kg of H 2 O initially at T 1 = 110 ◦c, x 1 = 0.9. The H 2 O is heated until
T 2 = 200 ◦c. A s sketched in the figur e, the H 2 O is confined in a piston-cylinder ar r angem ent,
w her e the piston is constr ained by a linear spr ing w ith d P/dv = 40 kPa/m 3 /kg. A t the initial
state, the spr ing is unstr etched. Find the final pr essur e.
Q 5: Exam Q uestion:
93.42929 kg of w ater is enclosed in a cylinder -piston ar r angem ent (see figur e). The initial
volum e is 1 m 3 , and the cr oss-sectional ar ea of the cylinder is 1 m 2 . A linear spr ing is attached
to the piston. The for ce fr om the spr ing is given as F = k(y − y1 ), w ith k = 150 kN /m . The
spr ing is initially r elaxed, m eaning it is neither str etched nor com pr essed. The w ater is then
3
heated to expand to a final volum e of 1.5 m .
(a) W hat is the atm ospher e pr essur e?
(b) W hat is the initial phase and tem per atur e of the w ater ? If it is a tw o -phase m ixtur e, w hat is
the quality x 1 ?
(c) W hat is the final pr essur e and tem per atur e of the w ater ?
