A piston-cylinder arrangement contains water at 110°C, 85% quality with a volume of 1 L. What is the initial mass, in grams? The system is heated, causing the 150-mm-diameter piston to rise and encounter a linear spring with k = 800 kN/m. Calculate the specific internal energy (kJ/kg) at this instant knowing that the measured volume is 1.65 L. The heating continues and compresses the spring in the process. When the piston encounters the stops, the pressure is 200 kPa. What is the temperature (in °C) and entropy (in J/K) at this point? Heating continues until the pressure reached 300 kPa. What is the volume, in L at this instant? Illustrate the process in separate P-v and T-v diagram. Note:1000 L = 1m3. Hint: Draw the FBD of the piston in each state.
Shown in the figure, an insulated rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. Initially, one part contains an indeal gas, and the other part is evacuated. The partition is then removed, and the gas expands into the entire tank. At the initial state, the mass of the gas is m= 4.00kg, initial pressure is p1 = 600.00 kPa, initial temperature is T1 = 300.00 K. The gas constant is R = 0.2870 kJ/(kg·K). (The internal energy can be determined by the equation ΔU=m·cv·(T2-T1), where cv = 0.7180 kJ/(kg·K) is the specific heat at the constant volume.)

N = 0 An insulated tank of volume 10+(10+N)/25 m and with a valve was filled with perfect tri- atomic gas at pressure 10 bar, where N is equal to the last two digitals in your student's ID number. Initially the valve was closed. A paddle wheel was mounted inside the tank and was run by 20 kW engine. The paddle wheel was turn on and at the same time the exit valve was opened. The gas temperature was constant though the whole process (due to very slow flow) and equal to 300 K. Calculate the time needed to decrease the pressure in the tank to 5 bar.
