Moving Boundary Work


1. The volume of 1 kg of helium in a piston-cylinder device is initially
5 m3. Now helium is compressed to 2 m3 while its pressure is
maintained constant at 180 kPa. Determine the initial and final
temperatures of helium as well as the work required to compress
it, in kJ.

2. A mass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kPa and 24ᵒC is contained in a gas-


tight, frictionless piston–cylinder device. The air is now
compressed to a final pressure of 600 kPa. During the process,
heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside
the cylinder remains constant. Calculate the work input during this
process.

3. A piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.4 kg of nitrogen gas at


160 kPa and 140ᵒC. The nitrogen is now expanded isothermally to
a pressure of 100 kPa. Determine the boundary work done during
this process.

4. A piston–cylinder device contains 0.15 kg of air initially at 2 MPa


and 350ᵒC. The air is first expanded isothermally to 500 kPa, then
compressed polytropically with a polytropic exponent of 1.2 to the
initial pressure, and finally compressed at the constant pressure to
the initial state. Determine the boundary work for each process
and the net work of the cycle.

Closed system energy analysis

1. A 0.5-m3 rigid tank contains refrigerant-134a initially at 160 kPa


and 40 percent quality. Heat is now transferred to the refrigerant
until the pressure reaches 700 kPa. Determine (a) the mass of the
refrigerant in the tank and (b) the amount of heat transferred.
Also, show the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation
lines.

2. A rigid 10-L vessel initially contains a mixture of liquid water and


vapor at 100ᵒC with 12.3 percent quality. The mixture is then
heated until its temperature is 150ᵒC. Calculate the heat transfer
required for this process.

3. An insulated piston–cylinder device contains 5 L of saturated


liquid water at a constant pressure of 175 kPa. Water is stirred by
a paddle wheel while a current of 8 A flows for 45 min through a
resistor placed in the water. If one-half of the liquid is evaporated
during this constant-pressure process and the paddle-wheel work
amounts to 400 kJ, determine the voltage of the source. Also,
show the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation
lines.

4. Saturated water vapor at 250 kPa. At this state, the piston is


resting on a set of stops, and the mass of the piston is such that a
pressure of 300 kPa is required to move it. Heat is now slowly
transferred to the steam until the volume doubles. Show the
process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines and
determine (a) the final temperature, (b) the work done during this
process, and (c) the total heat transfer.

Closed system energy analysis: Ideal gas


1. A piston–cylinder device contains 2.2 kg of nitrogen initially at 100
kPa and 25ᵒC. The nitrogen is now compressed slowly in a
polytropic process during which PV 1.3 = constant until the volume
is reduced by one-half. Determine the work done and the heat
transfer for this process.

2. A piston–cylinder device, with a set of stops on the top, initially


contains 3 kg of air at 200 kPa and 27ᵒC. Heat is now transferred
to the air, and the piston rises until it hits the stops, at which point
the volume is twice the initial volume. More heat is transferred
until the pressure inside the cylinder also doubles. Determine the
work done and the amount of heat transfer for this process. Also,
show the process on a P-v diagram.

3. Air is contained in a cylinder device fitted with a piston-cylinder.


The piston initially rests on a set of stops, and a pressure of 200
kPa is required to move the piston. Initially, the air is at 100 kPa
and 23ᵒC and occupies a volume of 0.25 m3. Determine the
amount of heat transferred to the air, in kJ, while increasing the
temperature to 700 K. Assume air has constant specific heats
evaluated at 300 K.
