E in − E out = Δ E system W b,in − Q out = Δ U W b,in − Q out = m ( u 2 − u 1 ) (I) Here, net energy transfer in to the control volume is E in , net energy transfer exit from the control volume is E out , change in internal, kinetic, potential energies of the system is Δ E system , boundary work in the system is W b,in , amount of heat transferred from the system is Q out , change in internal energy of the system is Δ U , initial internal energy of the steam is u 1 and final internal energy of the steam is u 2 . Write the formula to calculate boundary work during the process ( w b,in ) . w b,in = P ( v 1 − v 2 ) (II) Here, pressure of the steam is P , initial specific volume of the steam is v 1 and final specific volume of the steam is v 2 . Write the formula to calculate heat transfer during the process ( q out ) using the energy balance equation. q out = w b,in − ( u 2 − u 1 ) (III) Write the expression to calculate the exergy change between the initial and final states ( Δ ϕ ) . Δ ϕ = ( ϕ 1 − ϕ 2 ) = u 2 − u 1 + P 0 ( v 1 − v 2 ) − T 0 ( s 1 − s 2 ) − q out ( 1 − T 0 T R ) (IV) Here, initial and final exergies of the steam are ϕ 1 and ϕ 2 respectively, surrounding temperature is T 0 , surrounding pressure is P 0 , initial and final specific entropies of the steam are s 1 and s 2 respectively and temperature of the thermal energy reservoir is T R .

Refer Table A-5, “Saturated water-Pressure table”, obtain the following properties of steam at the pressure of 75 kPa for final state. v 2 = v f = 0 .001037 m 3 / kg u 2 = u f = 384 .36 kJ / kg s 2 = s f = 1 .2132 kJ / kg ⋅ K Here, specific volume of saturated liquid is v f , internal energy of saturated liquid is u f and specific entropy of saturated liquid is s f . Substitute 75 kPa for P , 2 .2172 m 3 / kg for v 1 and 0 .001037 m 3 / kg for v 2 in Equation (II). w b,in = ( 75 kPa ) ( 2 .2172 m 3 / kg − 0 .001037 m 3 / kg ) = ( 75 kPa ) ( 2 .2172 m 3 / kg − 0 .001037 m 3 / kg ) ( 1 kJ 1 kPa ⋅ m 3 ) = 166.2 kJ / kg Substitute 166.2 kJ / kg for w b,in , 384 .36 kJ / kg for u 2 and 2496 .1 kJ / kg for u 1 in Equation (III)

The pressure of saturated water vapor in an insulated tank with a volume of 5.7 m3 is 350 kPa. The tank is connected to the superheated steam pipe with a valve. The pressure of the superheated steam flowing in the pipe is 2.8 MPa and the temperature is 580oC. By opening the valve, the pressure of the water vapor in the tank is filled until it reaches 2.8 MPa. Calculate the second law efficiency of the filling process.

Refrigerant-22 absorbs heat from a cooled space at 50°F as it flows through an evaporator of a refrigeration system. R-22 enters the evaporator at 10°F at a rate of 0.08 lbm/s with a quality of 0.3 and leaves as a saturated vapor at the same pressure. Determine the second-law efficiency of the evaporator. Take T0 = 77°F. The properties of R-22 at the inlet and exit of the evaporator are: h1 = 107.5 Btu/lbm, s1 = 0.2851 Btu/lbm·R, h2 = 172.1 Btu/ lbm, s2 = 0.4225 Btu/lbm·R.

A well-insulated 4-m * 4-m * 5-m room initially at 10C is heated by the radiator of a steam-heating system. The radiator has a volume of 15 L and is filled with superheated vapor at 200 kPa and 200C. At this moment both the inlet and the exit valves to the radiator are closed. A 120-W fan is used to distribute the air in the room. The pressure of the steam is observed to drop to 100 kPa after 30 min as a result of heat transfer to the room. Assuming constant specific heats for air at room temperature, determine (a) the average temperature of air in 30 min, (b) the entropy change of the steam, (c) the entropy change of the air in the room, and (d) the entropy generated during this process, in kJ/K. Assume the air pressure in the room remains constant at 100 kPa at all times.
