A weighted piston (total mass of 16.8 kg), resting on stops in a cylinder (radius of 0.05 m) divi...
A piston-cylinder assembly contains 0.5 kg of water. Initially, the piston is resting against the stops when the water pressure and temperature are 1.00 bar and 125 degrees celsius, respectively. The piston has a mass of 50 kg and face area of 0.01 m^2; local atmospheric pressure is 1.01 bar; local gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s^2. 1. What water pressure would be required to lift the piston from the stops? 2. If the initial specific internal energy is 2544.86 kJ/kg,...
A mass of 5.5 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is contained in a piston-cylinder at 101.325 kPa. Initially, 2.3 kg of the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase. Heat is now transferred to the water, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 300 kPa. Heat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 21 percent. Determine: a) the initial...
A mass of 5 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is contained in a piston- cylinder device at 125 kPa. Initially. 3 kg of the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase. Heat is now transferred to the water, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 300 kPa. Heat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 10%. We denote the...
Consider a small amount of
water (0.001 kg) in a vertical piston-cylinder arrangement. The
piston has a mass such that at state 1 the pressure on the water is
125 kPa and its temperature is 10°C. Heat is added at constant
pressure until vaporization begins at state 2 and the piston hits a
set of stops when the volume is 0.2758 liters at state 3. Heat is
added from that point at constant volume until the water is
completely vapor...
