A rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. One part of the tank contains 1.5 kg of compressed liquid water at 300 kPa and 60°C and the other side is evacuated. Now the partition is removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. If the final pressure in the tank is 15 kPa, determine the exergy destroyed during this process. Assume the surroundings to be at 25'C and 100 kPa.

A Piston-Cylinder system initially contains R-134a refrigerant at a temperature of 2.8 bar and 40°C and an initial volume of 0.1 m3. First, heat is transferred to the system by keeping the piston constant and this process is continued until the pressure is 3.2 bar. The process is then maintained by allowing the volume to change while the pressure is kept constant. At the end of this process, the temperature reaches 50°C. Assuming the state changes as if they are balanced,calculate;a) The mass of R-134a refrigerant in the system,b) The amount of heat transferred during the fixed volume process,c) The amount of heat transferred during constant pressure operation.d) Show the state changes on the P-v diagram.

Problem 2 An insulated piston-cylinder device contains 0.2 m³ of saturated refrigerant R-134a vapor at 1 MPa pressure. The refrigerant is now allowed to expand in a reversible manner until the pressure drops to 0.2 MPa. Determine: a. Sketch a possible process on a P-v diagram. Show the saturation lines b.

A compressor performs 200 hp of shaft work to compress 0.2 kg/sec of steam from saturated vapor at 147degC to state 2 with P2, T2 = 2 MPa and 357degC. The compressor is NON-adiabatic so it is also transferring heat to the surroundings in the process. Determine the heat transfer rate from the compressor. You can assume the changes in velocity and height of the system are negligible.
Water vapor at 100 kPa and 150°C is compressed isothermally until half the vapor has condensed. How much work must be performed on the steam in this compression process in kW if the mass flow rate is 6.132 kg/s? For the steam table, please refer to the green book entitled " Thermodynamic Properties of Water Including Vapor, Liquid, and Solid Phases"
A piston and cylinder arrangement contains saturated water vapor at 110°C. The vapor is compressed in a reversible, adiabatic process until the pressure is 1.6 MPa. What is the work done to or by the system in BTU if the mass of the vapor is 6.745 kg?

Please provide a detailed solution, Don't just put the equation. It's important to provide an explanation.
R-134a is a refrigerant, which is used inside of refrigerators and air conditioners. You can buy canisters of this as a compressed liquid, which can be used to recharge a leaky air conditioner. The canister initially contains 0.539 kg of R-134a at room temperature (25 °C). For simplicity, let's assume that the R-134a is initially saturated liquid. You use this canister to recharge an air conditioner, until the canister has half of its original mass remaining. The canister is upright with the exit on the top of the canister, so the exit flow is saturated vapor. In order to maintain the temperature at 25 °C, how much heat must be supplied to the canister? Note that this is why compressed liquid/gas canisters feel cold when you use them – they require heat - input to maintain constant T.
An insulated rigid tank is div led into two equal parts by a partition. Initially, one part contains 5 kmol of an ideal gas at 25 kPa and 40°C, and the other side is evacuated. The partition is now removed, and the gas fills he entire tank. Determine the total entropy change during the process.
A rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. One part of the tank contains 4 kg of compressed liquid water at 200 kPa and 80°C and the other side is evacuated.
