Homework (Chapter 7)

Q1) Calculate the heat transfer, in kJ/kg. for the


reversible steady-flow process 1-3 shown on
a T-s diagram in the figure.

Q2) A 30-kg aluminum block initially at 140°C is


brought into contact with a 40-kg block of
iron at 60°C in an insulated enclosure.
Determine the final equilibrium
temperature and the total entropy change
for this process.

Q3) 1 ton of liquid water at 80°C is brought into a


well-insulated and well-sealed 4-m × 5-m × 7-
m room initially at 22°C and 100 kPa.
Assuming constant specific heats for both air
and water at room temperature, determine
(a) the final equilibrium temperature in the
room and (b) the total entropy change during
this process, in kJ/K.

Q4) Refrigerant-134a at 320 kPa and 40°C undergoes an


isothermal process in a closed system until its quality is
45 percent. On a per-unit-mass basis, determine how much
work and heat transfer are required.
Q5) Helium gas is compressed from 90 kPa and 30°C to
450 kPa in a reversible, adiabatic process.
Determine the final temperature and the work
done, assuming the process takes place (a) in a
piston–cylinder device and (b) in a steady-flow
compressor.

Q6) Air is compressed in a piston–cylinder device from 90 kPa and


20°C to 600 kPa in a reversible isothermal process. Determine
(a) the entropy change of air and (b) the work done.

Q7) Air at 3.5 MPa and 500°C is expanded in an adiabatic gas


turbine to 0.2 MPa. Calculate the maximum work that this
turbine can produce in kJ/kg.

Q8) An insulated rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by


a partition. Initially, one part contains 12 kmol of an ideal
gas at 330 kPa and 50°C, and the other side is evacuated.
The partition is now removed, and the gas fills the entire
tank. Determine the total entropy change during this
process.
