    Examples of Chapter Three


    3–36 A 1.8-m3 rigid tank contains steam at 220°C. One third of the volume is in the
    liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor form. Determine (a) the pressure of the
    steam, (b) the quality of the saturated mixture, and (c) the density of the mixture.
    Solution:
    3 3
    At 220°C, vf = 0.001190 m /kg and vg = 0.08609 m /kg (Steam Table).
    The pressure in the tank must be the saturation pressure at the specified
    temperature, because saturated liquid-vapor mixture.

    3–37 A piston–cylinder device contains 0.85 kg of refrigerant 134a at _10°C. The


    piston that is free to move has a mass of 12 kg and a diameter of 25 cm. The local
    atmospheric pressure is 88 kPa. Now, heat is transferred to refrigerant-134a until
    the temperature is 15°C. Determine (a) the final pressure, (b) the change in the
    volume of the cylinder, and (c) the change in the enthalpy of the refrigerant-134a.
    Solution:
    (a) The final pressure is equal to the initial pressure, which is determined from

    (b) The specific volume and enthalpy of R-134a at the initial state of 90.4 kPa and
    10°C and at the final state of 90.4 kPa and 15°C are (R-134a Table)

    3–41 Water is to be boiled at sea level in a 30-cm-diameter stainless steel pan


    placed on top of a 3–kW electric burner. If 60 percent of the heat generated by the
    burner is transferred to the water during boiling, determine the rate of evaporation
    of water.
    Solution:
    The properties of water at 1 atm and thus at the saturation temperature of 100°C
    are hfg = 2256.4 kJ/kg (Steam Table).

    3–48 A cooking pan whose inner diameter is 20 cm is filled with water and covered
    with a 4-kg lid. If the local atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa, determine the
    temperature at which the water starts boiling when it is heated.
    Solution:

    T = 100.2 °C (from Steam Table)

    3–51 A rigid tank with a volume of 2.5 m3 contains 15 kg of saturated liquid–vapor


    mixture of water at 75°C. Now the water is slowly heated. Determine the
    temperature at which the liquid in the tank is completely vaporized. Also, show the
    Processes on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
    Solution:
    This is a constant volume process (v = V /m = constant), and the specific volume is
    determined to be

    3–59 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.
    Solution:
    Initially the cylinder contains compressed liquid (since P > Psat@40°C) that can be
    approximated as a saturated liquid at the specified temperature (Steam Table),

    3–65 A rigid tank contains water vapor at 250°C and an unknown pressure. When
    the tank is cooled to 150°C, the vapor starts condensing. Estimate the initial
    pressure in the tank.
    Solution:
    This is a constant volume process (v = V /m = constant), and the initial specific
    volume is equal to the final specific volume that is

    3–80 A 1-m3 tank containing air at 25°C and 500 kPa is connected through a valve to
    another tank containing 5 kg of air at 35°C and 200 kPa. Now the valve is opened,
    and the entire system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the
    surroundings, which are at 20°C. Determine the volume of the second tank and the
    final equilibrium pressure of air.
