Water is enclosed in the piston/cylinder system as shown in the figure. The initial temperature of the water is T = 140 °C. The mass of the enclosed water is m, = 12 kg. The piston has mass, m, = 500 kg and diameter, D, = 0.125 m. The water is heated until the specific volume is vz = 0.05 m/kg at which point the piston is fixed in position by a pin, i.e. piston can no longer move. The water is then further heated to a final temperature of T3 = 350°C. Assume that the atmospheric pressure is Po = 100.3 kPa and gravity is g = 9.81 m/s. a) What is the initial pressure of the water, P., and specific volume vi? b) At state 2 what is the temperature, T2, and is the water a compressed liquid, saturated mixture or a superheated vapour? If the state is a saturated mixture, determine the quality. c) What is the final pressure of the water, P3? d) Draw a P - V (pressure - volume) diagram of the process. Label all state points, process lines, constant temperature line(s) and the pressure and volume values corresponding to each state point.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:Water is enclosed in the piston/cylinder system as shown in the figure. The initial temperature of the
water is T1 = 140 °C. The mass of the enclosed water is m, = 12 kg. The piston has mass, m, = 500 kg and
diameter, D, = 0.125 m. The water is heated until the specific volume is v, = 0.05 m/kg at which point the
piston is fixed in position by a pin, i.e. piston can no longer move. The water is then further heated to a
final temperature of T3 = 350°C.
Assume that the atmospheric pressure is Po = 100.3 kPa and gravity is g = 9.81 m/s.
a) What is the initial pressure of the water, P1, and specific volume v:?
b) At state 2 what is the temperature, T2, and is the water a compressed liquid, saturated mixture or
a superheated vapour? If the state is a saturated mixture, determine the quality.
c) What is the final pressure of the water, P3?
d) Draw a P - V (pressure - volume) diagram of the process. Label all state points, process lines,
constant temperature line(s) and the pressure and volume values corresponding to each state
point.
