Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 5ICA
Being quite interested in obsolete electronics, Angus has purchased several electronic music synthesis modules dating from the early 1970s and is testing them to find out how they work. One module is a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) that changes the amplitude (loudness) of an audio signal by changing a control voltage into the VCA. All Angus knows is that the magnitude of the control voltage should be less than 5 volts. He sets the audio input signal to an amplitude of 1 volt, then measures the audio output amplitude for different control voltage values. The following table shows these data. Show the resulting data and trendline, with equation and R2 value, on the appropriate graph type (xy scatter, semilog or log–log) to make the data appear linear.

Required information
Water initially at 200 kPa and 300°C is contained in a piston-cylinder device fitted with stops. The water is allowed to cool
at constant pressure until it exists as a saturated vapor and the piston rests on the stops. Then the water continues to cool
until the pressure is 100 kPa.
NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.
Water

300°C
On the T-V diagram, sketch, with respect to the saturation lines, the process curves passing through the initial, intermediate, and final states of the water. Label the
T, P, and V values for end states on the process curves.

A piston-cylinder device contains 0.87 kg of refrigerant-134a at -10°C. The piston that is free to move has a mass of 12 kg
and a diameter of 25 cm. The local atmospheric pressure is 88 kPa. Now, heat is transferred to refrigerant-134a until the
temperature is 15°C. Use data from the tables.

-10°C
Determine the change in the volume of the cylinder of the refrigerant-134a if the specific volume and enthalpy of R-134a at the initial
state of 90.4 kPa and -10°C and at the final state of 90.4 kPa and 15°C are as follows:
= 0.2418 m³/kg, h₁ = 247.77 kJ/kg

v2 = 0.2670 m³/kg, and h₂ = 268.18 kJ/kg
The change in the volume of the cylinder is
