PROBLEM #4 (30 pts) Consider a piston cylinder device that contains 87 kg of R-134a initially...
0.4 kg of Refrigerant 134a initially fills a piston–cylinder device with a volume of 15 L at a pressure of 400 kPa. The cylinder is connected to a supply line through a valve. R-134a is flowing in the supply line at 900 kPa and 45°C. The valve is opened, and R-134a is allowed to enter the cylinder. The valve is closed when the volume of the cylinder is triple and the temperature in the cylinder reaches 15°C. During the process,...
A piston cylinder device with a free floating piston contains 0.3 kg of R-134a at 400 kPa and 0 C. The volume of the cylinder is what?
50 kg of R-134a at s80 kPa is contained in a piston-cylinder device where V = 0.4 m^3. The system is cooled at constant pressure until the internal energy is half the initial. Determine: 1) Final Temperature (Tfinal) 2) Final Quality (Xfinal) 3) Final Volume (Vfinal)
1 A piston-cylinder device initially contain 0.4 m3 of 1.8- kg saturated liquid water and steam mixture at 110 kPa. A electric heater in the device is turned on and passes a current of 1.7 A from a 120-V source. Only transfer of electrical work and boundary work exist. The piston initially rests on a set of stops, and a pressure of 200 kPa is required to move the piston. Afterwards the system continues to raise the piston and eventually...
