(THERMODYNAMICS) A vertical cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 1.5 kg of H2O initially at 100 °C, 400 kPa. If the volume of the system reaches 0.5 m3, the piston hits a set of stops and is restrained from further upward travel. The system is heated to 200 °C. (Use saturated water tables, steam tables, and superheated tables as necessary) a) If the piston reaches the stops, determine the temperature and pressure when the piston first touches but exerts no force...
A cylinder fitted with piston contains 0.2 kg of N2 at 100 kPa and 30°C. The piston is moved compressing N2 until the pressure becomes 1 MPa and temperature becomes 150°C.

A frictionless-piston-cylinder device contains a liquid-vapor mixture of water at 200°C. During a constant- pressure process, 500 kJ of heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 20°C.

2 kg Water in a vertical piston cylinder arrangement, is initially at saturated liquid state at 3 bar. It is heated and undergoes constant pressure expansion to a state of saturated vapor. What is the work done by the piston cylinder arrangement to the environment? Neglect the mass of the piston, piston friction, kinetic and potential energy changes. Hint: this is a closed system problem, remember control volume boundary work concept. What is the heat transfer into the water?
A piston/cylinder setup contains 1 kg of water at 150 kPa, 20-C. 3000 kJ of heat is added from a 600-C source until the water is at 1 MPa, 500.C. Find the total change in entropy, in kJ/K. Add a negative sign (-) in your numerical answer should you get a negative answer.
Consider a piston cylinder process in air (as an ideal gas with constant specific heats) which goes from state 1 at 1 atm, 300 K to state 2 at: 3 atm and 400K. (use k=1.4, Cp = 1.005 kJ/(kg K), Cv=0.718 kJ/(kg K), R= 0.287 kJ/(kg K)) (these are the same conditions as question 4). What must the heat transfer be (in kJ/kg), if the process takes place without entropy generation and it can be assumed the temperature at system...
