Basic Thermodynamic Processes

The word 'thermodynamics' can be divided into two words, 'thermo' and 'dynamics'. The word thermo deals with the heat and thermal phenomenon, whereas dynamics deals with forces or external agent that drives the heat flow or aids in the motion of heat.

Question

**Thermodynamic Process in a Piston-Cylinder Assembly: An Educational Overview**

### Objective

To understand the thermodynamic process involving a piston-cylinder setup, where water undergoes a series of state changes, and to represent these changes on a Pressure-Volume (P-V) diagram. Additionally, to calculate the work transfer for each process.

### Problem Statement

A piston-cylinder setup initially contains 5 kg of water at the saturated liquid state (state 1). It then undergoes a process in which it is brought to the saturated vapor state (state 2). From there, it is isochorically (constant volume) brought to a final pressure and temperature of 10 bar and 200°C.

**Tasks:**

1. Illustrate the process on a P-V diagram.
2. Determine the work transfer for each sub-process (\( W_{12} \) and \( W_{23} \)).

### Explanation

#### Initial State (State 1):
- **Mass of water:** 5 kg
- **State:** Saturated liquid

#### Transition to Saturated Vapor (State 2):
- The water is heated from the saturated liquid state to the saturated vapor state.
- This process involves a phase change at constant pressure and temperature where water absorbs latent heat and transforms into vapor.

#### Isochoric Process to Final State (State 3):
- **Final Pressure:** 10 bar
- **Final Temperature:** 200°C
- Since the process is isochoric, the volume remains constant:
- The specific volume at state 2 and state 3 remains the same.

### Graphical Representation

#### P-V Diagram:
1. **State 1 to State 2:** The process will be represented as a horizontal line on the P-V diagram, indicating a phase change at constant pressure.

2. **State 2 to State 3:** The process will be represented as a vertical line since the volume remains constant, but the pressure and temperature increase.

#### Work Transfer Calculation:

For each process:
- **\( W_{12} \)**: Work associated with isobaric (constant pressure) process.
- **\( W_{23} \)**: Work associated with isochoric (constant volume) process (typically zero, as work done in constant volume processes is zero).

### Conclusion

By following the stated steps:
1. Represent the thermodynamic processes on a P-V diagram.
2. Calculate the work transferred during

2. A piston-cylinder assembly with stops (see figure) contains 1.54 kg of water initially occupying a volume of 1.25 m at a pressure of 1 bar (State 1). As the water in the assembly is heated, the pressure and temperature in the system remain constant until the piston contacts the stops. In this position (State 2), the quality, x2, is determined to be 92%. Heat continues to be added to the system at a constant volume until the system reaches a pressure of 1.5 bar (State 3).
