Four kilograms of steam in a piston/cylinder device at 400 kPa and 175 °C undergoes isothermal and mechanically reversible process to a final pressure such that the steam is completely condensed (i.e., became a saturated liquid). Determine Q and W for this process: (a) Using steam Tables in Appendix F [Answer: Q = -8,898.7 kJ, W = 1,435.7 kJ] (b) Using generalized correlations and Equations (6.70 – 6.74). Comment on the accuracy of your answer. [Answer: Q = -9,461 kJ, W = 1494.9 kJ]
