Chapter 4.5, Problem 39P
A 40-L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a 50-m3 room. Both the room and the oil in the radiator are initially at 10°C. The radiator with a rating of 2.4 kW is now turned on. At the same time, heat is lost from the room at an average rate of 0.35 kJ/s. After some time, the average temperature is measured to be 20°C for the air in the room, and 50°C for the oil in the radiator. Taking the density and the specific heat of the oil to be 950 kg/m3 and 2.2 kJ/kg·°C, respectively, determine how long the heater is kept on. Assume the room is well sealed so that there are no air leaks.

A 50-L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a 50-m³ room. Both the room and the oil in the
radiator are initially at 5°C. The radiator with a rating of 3 kW is now turned on. At the same time, heat
is lost from the room at an average rate of 0.3 kJ/s. After some time, the average temperature is measured
to be 20°C for the air in the room, and 60°C for the oil in the radiator. Taking the density and the specific
heat of the oil to be 950 kg/m³ and 2.2kJ/(kg °C), respectively, determine how long the heater is kept on.
Assume the room is well-sealed so that there are no air leaks.
A piston-cylinder device contains 0.1 m3 of refrigerant 134a at 0.24 MPa and 40ºC. Initially the piston is fixed with a pin. Heat is transferred now to the refrigerant from a source at 100ºC until the pressure rises to 0.28 MPa. Then, heat is given to an environment with a temperature of 25ºC at a constant pressure (the pin is pulled and in this case, the mass of the piston and the masses on it and the pressure created by the atmospheric pressure are equal to the pressure inside the cylinder) the temperature is brought to a temperature of 50ºC.
a) Determine the heat and work interaction for each process
b) Sketch the P-v and T-s diagrams of the processes with respect to the saturation lines
c) Determine the entropy change of the refrigerant 134a during these two processes
d) Determine the entropy generation during these processes. Are these processes appropriate to 2. law of thermodynamics, explain
A piston-cylinder device as shown in Figure 1-7, initially contains 0.75 kg of refrigerant-
134a at 120 kPa and 20°C. Heat is now transferred to the refrigerant from a source at
150°C, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure
inside reaches 140 kPa. Heat transfer continues until the temperature reaches 90°C.
Assuming the surroundings to be at 25°C and 100 kPa, determine:
(a) the work done,
(b) the heat transfer,
(c) the exergy destroyed,
(d) the second law efficiency of this process.
