Explanation Given: Initial pressure of air is 300 kPa . Initial temperature of air is 17 ° C . Volume of cylinder initially is 0.25 m 3 . Final volume of cylinder is 1 m 3 . The pressure of air in line is 500 kPa . Temperature of air in line is 600 K . Final pressure in cylinder is 400 kPa . Final temperature of cylinder is 350 K . Concept used: Write the expression for initial mass of air in cylinder. m 1 = P 1 V 1 R T 1 .......... (1) Here, m 1 is the initial mass of air in cylinder, P 1 is the initial pressure of air in cylinder, V 1 is the initial volume of cylinder, T 1 is the initial temperature of air in cylinder and R is the gas constant of air. Write the expression for final mass of air in cylinder. m 2 = P 2 V 2 R T 2 .......... (2) Here, m 2 is the final mass of air in cylinder, V 2 is the final volume of cylinder, P 2 is the final pressure of air in cylinder, and T 2 is the final temperature of air in cylinder. Write the expression for mass entering the cylinder. m i n = m 2 − m 1 .......... (3) Here, m i n is the mass enter the cylinder. Draw the p-v diagram for the process as shown below: Write the expression for work done for constant pressure. W 12 = P 1 ( V 2 − V 1 ) .......... (4) Here, W 12 is the work done, p 1 is the initial pressure, V 2 is the final volume and V 1 is the initial volume. Write the expression for heat transfer. Q 12 = m 2 C v T 2 − m 1 C v T 1 + W 12 − m i n C p T i n .......... (5) Here, Q is the heat transfer, C v is the specific heat of air at constant volume and T i n is the temperature of air in line. Calculation: Substitute 300 kPa for P 1 , 0.25 m 3 for V 1 , 0.287 kJ/kg ⋅ K for R and 17 ° C for T 1 in equation (1). m 1 = ( 300 ) ( 1 ) ( 0

Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. T…

3.60 Consider two tanks, A and B, connected by a valve, as shown in Fig. P3.60. Each has a volume of 200 L and tank A has R-12 at 25°C, 10% liquid and 90% vapor by volume, while tank B is evacuated. The valve is now opened and saturated vapor flows from A to B until the pressure in B has reached that in A, at which point the valve is closed. This process occurs slowly such that all temperatures stay at 25°C throughout the process. How much has the quality changed in tank A during the process? B FIGURE P3.60

4.7 The refrigerant R-22 is contained in a piston/cylinder as shown in Fig. P4.7, where the volume is 11 L when the piston hits the stops. The initial state is -30°C, 150 kPa with a volume of 10 L. This system is brought indoors and warms up to 15°C. a. Is the piston at the stops in the final state? b. Find the work done by the R-22 during this process.
