Three kilograms of water in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at 100 kPa and 75°C, are heated at constant pressure with no internal irreversibilities to a final temperature of 500°C. For the water, Plot the processes on the P-v curve and determine: (a) the change in exergy, (b) the exergy transfer accompanying heat transfer, (c) the exergy transfer accompanying work, and (d) the exergy destruction. Take To = 25 °C, Po= 100 kPa and ignore the effects of motion and gravity.

A vertical piston–cylinder device initially contains 0.12 m3 of helium at 20°C. The mass of the piston is such that it maintains a constant pressure of 200 kPa inside. A valve is now opened, and helium is allowed to escape until the volume inside the cylinder is decreased by one-half. Heat transfer takes place between the helium and its surroundings at 20°C and 95 kPa so that the temperature of helium in the cylinder remains constant. Determine the exergy destroyed during this process.
