Exercises for chapter 3

1. Two kilograms of water at 120C with a

quality of 25% has its temperature raised
20C in a constant volume process. What
are the heat transfer and work in the
process? (ans: 878 kJ)
2. A piston/cylinder contains 1.5 kg of water
at 200 kPa, 150C. It is now heated by a
process in which pressure is linearly
related to volume to a state of 600 kPa,
350C. Find the final volume, the heat
transfer, and the work in the process.
(ans: W= 291.24 kJ and Q = 165.1 kJ )

Exercises for chapter 2

3. A piston/cylinder device contains 50 kg water at 200 kPa
with a volume of 0.1m3. Stops in the cylinder are placed to
restrict the enclosed volume to a maximum of 0.5 m 3. The
water is now heated until the piston reaches the stops. Find
the necessary heat transfer. (Q= 995 kJ )
4. A 25 kg mass moves at 25 m/s. Now a brake system brings
the mass to a complete stop with a constant deceleration
over a period of 5 s. Assume the mass is at constant P and
T. The brake energy is absorbed by 0.5 kg of water initially
at 20C and 100 kPa. Find the energy the brake removes
from the massand the temperature increase of thewater,
assuming its pressure is constant. (ans: 7.8125 kJ , 3.7oC )
