ASSIGNMENT 1 (Additional) TCE301T THERMODYNAMICS IIIA

2018

Q1. (15 points) H2O is characterised by different states: (a), (b) and (c). For each
state, find out the required thermodynamic function and find out which H 2O phases
are present?
(a) h = 2700 kJ/kg; P =1 bar; Entropy s=?
(b) s= 6 kJ/(kg*K); P =5 bar; Enthalpy h=?
(c) P = 100 bar; T=390 °C; Enthalpy h=?

Q2. (25 points) Calculate the amount of heat, transferred to oxygen gas, when it

was heated in isochoric process (V= 20 l) ant its pressure changed by ΔP=100 kPa.

Assume oxygen heat capacity Cp=5/2R

Q3. (25 points) A tank is filled with saturated water (v1 = 0.001 m3/kg).

a) Calculate the amount of work, if pressure in the tank was increased in reversible
process from P1= 1bar to P2 = 10 bar.

(b) Use the supplied T-s diagram and indicate the area under curves , which is equal
to the amount of work done in 1)reversible compression; 2) irreversible compression.

Q4. (35 points) Your steam generator produces 1800 kg/hour of vapor. Vapour
parameters are h = 2800 kJ/kg and T=300 °C.

a) What is vapour pressure?

b) What is vapour specific volume?
c) If you mix this vapor with liquid water stream (flow rate 100 kg/hour, T = 60
°C, P= 1bar), what will be the temperature, quality and enthalpy of the
mixture?
