    This document contains 4 homework problems from a thermodynamics class at Middle East Technical University. Problem 1 involves sketching the pressure-temperature diagram for water and identifying states on that diagram. Problem 2 involves calculating properties of water vapor undergoing a reversible compression process. Problem 3 involves calculating the steady-state concentration and time to reach 95% of that concentration for benzene evaporating into an enclosed room. Problem 4 involves calculating the final pressure, volume, and work done by steam allowed to expand in a cylinder.

    ChE 204- Thermodynamics I (03)
    Dr. Bahar İpek Torun 01.03.2019
    HOMEWORK 2
    Due 08.03.2019, 10.40
    Problem No: 1 a) Sketch the P-T diagram for water by indicating the values of triple point
    and critical point temperature and pressure on the axes.

    b) Sketch the position of the following states on the same diagram and on a T-V diagram,
    and indicate the states (superheated vapor, subcooled/compressed liquid, saturated two
    phase mixture, etc.)
    1. T= 260 °C, 𝑉̂ = 0.001276 m3/kg
    2. T= 105 °C, P= 70 kPa
    3. T= 105 °C, P= 0.15 MPa
    4. T= 40 °C, 𝑉̂ = 19.52 m3/kg
    5. T=150 °C, 𝑉̂ = 0.2 m3/kg
    c) For b)5., what is the Pressure? What is the quality of steam?

    Problem No: 2 Consider a piston (frictionless)- cylinder assembly containing 10 kg of


    water vapor initially held at a pressure of 20 bar and occupies a volume of 1.04 m3. The system
    undergoes a reversible process in which it is compressed to 100 bar. The pressure-volume
    relationship during this process is given by:
    𝑃𝑉̂ 1.5 = 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡
    a) What is the specific volume (in m3/kg) of the vapor at the initial conditions?
    b) What is the temperature of the vapor at the initial conditions?
    c) At the initial conditions, water is ………superheated vapor/ saturated steam
    d) What is the final specific volume (in m3/kg) of the vapor if it obeys the given
    relationship?
    e) What is the final volume (in m3) of the vapor?
    f) What is the temperature of the vapor at the final conditions?
    g) Calculate the work done (in kJ) during this process.

    Problem No: 3 As a result of a chemical spill, benzene is evaporating at a rate of 1 gram


    per minute into a room that is 6 m* 6 m* 3 m in size and has a ventilation rate of 10 m3/ min.

    a. Compute the steady state concentration of benzene in the room


    b. Assuming the air in the room is initially free of benzene, compute the time necessary for
    benzene to reach 95 percent of the steady-state concentration.
    Problem No: 4 A vertical cylinder fitted with a piston contains 0.02 m3 of wet steam at
    180 °C and 90% quality. The piston is initially held in place by a pin. The piston has a mass of
    100 kg and a cross-sectional area of 49 cm2. The ambient pressure is 100 kPa. The pin is
    removed, allowing the piston to move. After a sufficient amount of time, the system comes to
    equilibrium with the final temperature being 180 °C.

    a) Determine the final pressure and volume of the steam


    b) Calculate the work done by the steam during this process.
