Question
Answer the following questions: a and b (B is important)
Transcribed Image Text:(a) Determine the heat energy required to convert 20 kg of water at 30°C
completely to steam at 120°C, given that the specific heat capacity of water is
4.2 kJ/(kg °C), the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2260 kJ/kg
and the specific heat capacity of steam is 1.996 kJ/(kg °C).
(b) There are three vessels; A, B, and C which are connected together through
some closed valves. The volume of each of vessels is 1.0 m³ and each of
them contains similar gas at the temperature of 27°C. Furthermore, the
pressure of the gas inside vessel A is 1.0 MPa, inside vessel B is 1.5 MPa and
inside vessel C is 3.2 MPa.
(i)
(ii)
Determine the mass of the gasses in each vessel.
The valves are now opened, and the gases are allowed to mix.
Determine the final pressure in vessels at the temperature of 27°C.
Assume R for the gas to be 300 J/(kg K).
