Chapter 3.8, Problem 122RP
A tank whose volume is unknown is divided into two parts by a partition. One side of the tank contains 0.03 m3 of refrigerant-134a that is a saturated liquid at 0.9 MPa, while the other side is evacuated. The partition is now removed, and the refrigerant fills the entire tank. If the final state of the refrigerant is 20°C and 280 kPa, determine the volume of the tank.

3. A piston is resting on stops in a frictionless piston-cylinder device. The system contains water
with a mass of 1 kg. The initial temperature is 30°C and the initial volume is 0.1 m³. The pressure
required to raise the piston is 100 kPa. Find the work done if we add heat until the water is
completely vapor (x=1). Find the heat added to the system. Draw and label the process on P-v
and T-v diagrams.
4. A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains 10 kg of water initially at 100 kPa and 100°C. If the
volume reaches 20 m³, the piston hits a set of stops and is restrained from further upward
travel. Heat is added until the temperature is 200°C. Calculate the pressure at this point. Also,
calculate the temperature when the piston first touches, but exerts no force, on the stops. Draw
and label the process on P-v and T-v diagrams.
2. A vertical piston-cylinder device contains water and is being heated on top of a range. During the process, 65 Btu of heat is transferred to the water, and heat losses from the side walls amount to 8 Btu. The piston rises as a result of evaporation, and 5 Btu of work is done by the vapor. Determine the change in the energy of the water for this process. draw a figure also, and explain each step by step solution.
1) A piston-cylinder assembly contains 10 kg of refrigerant 134a. Initially, 8 kg of SA134a is in the liquid phase and the temperature is -10°C. Then there is a slow heat transfer to SA-134a, the piston rises and the piston touches the stoppers when the volume is 400 liters.
