    Assignment 2

    1. Both a gage and a manometer are attached to a gas tank to


    measure its pressure. If the reading on the pressure gage is 80
    kPa, determine the distance between the two fluid levels of the
    manometer if the fluid is (a) mercury (ρ = 13,600 kg/m 3) or (b)
    water (ρ = 1000 kg/m3).

    2. The force generated by a spring is given by F = kx, where k is the


    spring constant and x is the deflection of the spring. The spring has
    a spring constant of 8 kN/cm. The pressures are P 1= 5,000 kPa, P2
    = 10,000 kPa, and P3= 1,000 kPa. If the piston diameters are D1= 8
    cm and D2= 3 cm, how far will the spring be deflected?

    3. Fill in the blank using the thermodynamic table for R-134a (from Cengel & Boles reference
    book).

    4. Fill in the blanks for water.


    T, oC P, kPa u, kJ/kg x Phase Description
    A 200 0.6
    B 125 1600
    C 1000 2950
    D 75 500
    E 850 0
    5. Four kg of water is placed in an enclosed volume of 1m3. Heat is added until the
    temperature is 150°C. Find
    a. the pressure,
    b. the mass of vapor, and
    c. the volume of the vapor.
    6. A piston-cylinder device contains 0.1 m3 of liquid water and 0.9 m3 of water vapor in
    equilibrium at 800 kPa. Heat is transferred at constant pressure until the temperature
    reaches 350°C.
    a. what is the initial temperature of the water?
    b. determine the total mass of the water,
    c. calculate the final volume, and
    d. show the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
    7. For a specific volume of 0.2 m3/kg, find the quality of steam if the absolute pressure is:
    a. 40 kPa and
    b. 630 kPa
    c. What is the temperature in each case?
    8. Water is contained in a rigid vessel of 5 m3 at a quality of 0.8 and a pressure of 2 MPa. If
    the pressure is reduced to 400 kPa by cooling the vessel, find the final mass of vapor mg
    and mass of liquid mf.
    9. Determine the mass of the air in a room whose dimensions are 4 m X 5 m X 6 m at 100
    kPa and 25°C. (R = 0.287kJ/kg)

    10. A piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.2 kg of steam at 200 kPa and 300°C. Now,
    the steam is cooled at constant pressure until it is at 150°C. Determine the volume change
    of the cylinder during this process using the ideal gas equation and compare the result to
    the actual value.
    11. An ideal gas is contained in a closed assembly with an initial pressure and temperature of
    220 kPa and 70oC respectively. If the volume of the system is increased 1.5 times and the
    temperature drops to 15oC, determine the final pressure of the gas.

    12. A 1-m3 tank containing air at 25°C and 500 kPa is connected through a valve to another
    tank containing 5 kg of air at 35°C and 200 kPa. Now the valve is opened, and the entire
    system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, which are at 20°C.
    Determine the volume of the second tank and the final equilibrium pressure of air.

    13. A cylindrical gas tank 1 m long, inside diameter of 20 cm, is evacuated and then filled with
    carbon dioxide gas at 25°C. To what pressure should it be charged if there should be 1.2
    kg of carbon dioxide?
