A piston-cylinder device initially contains 20 g of saturated water vapor at 350 kPa. A resistance heater is operated within the cylinder with a current of 0.4 A from a 240 V source until the volume doubles. At the same time a heat loss of 2.0 kJ occurs. Assume the surrounding temperature and pressure to be 20 "C and 100 kPa.

The water was heated up until the temperature is 200C. At this time, a pressure regulating valve installedat the top of the piston was activated which allowed the escape of saturated vapor at the same pressure.The application of heat was continued until the water quality is 100%.

Steam generators are a type of heat exchanges that are used inpower plants to generate steam at desired pressure andtemperature (Fig. Q1.b). In a steam generator, saturated liquidwater at 30°C enters a 60-mm diameter tube at the volume flowrate of 12 L/s. After exchanging heat with hot gas, the waterchanges to steam and leaves the generator at a pressure of 9 MPaand a temperature of 400°C. During this process, the diameter ofthe water/steam tube does not change. Where necessary, assume air as an ideal gas and consider R = 287J/(kg.K), Cp = 1005 J/(kg.K), Cv = 718 J/(kg.K).

(iii) Calculate the rate of heat transfer (in MW) required tochange the phase of liquid water to steam.
Inside a piston-cylinder device there is 5 kg of a moist water vapor at 125 kPa. At the beginning there are 2 kg of water in the liquid phase, and the rest is in the vapor phase. Then, heat is transferred to the water; the plunger, which rests on a set of stops, begins to rise when the pressure inside reaches 300 kPa. TheHeat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 20 percent.Determine:a) the initial and final temperatures,b) the mass of the liquid water when the plunger starts to rise andc) the work carried out during this process.
