Problem 3.30
A piston-cylinder device contains 0.85 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 100 kPa. Now, heat is transferred to refrigerant-134a until the temperature is 15°C. Determine (a) the final pressure, (b) the change in the volume of the refrigerant, and (c) the change in the enthalpy of the refrigerant-134a.

Part 1
The storage tank contains lubricating oil of specific gravity 0.86 In one inclined side of the tank,
there is a 0.48 m diameter circular inspection door, mounted on a horizontal shaft along the centre
line of the gate. The oil level in the tank rests 8.8 m above the mounted shaft. (Please refer table
01 for relevant SG, D and h values).
Describe the hydrostatic force and centre of pressure with the aid of a free body diagram of the
inspection door.
Calculate the magnitude of the hydrostatic force and locate the centre
of pressure.

Estimate the moment that would have to be applied to the shaft to
open the gate.

If the oil level raised by 2 m from the current level, calculate the new
moment required to open the gate.
