A piston–cylinder device contains 0.05 kg of steam at 1 MPa and 300°C. Steam now expands to a final state of 200 kPa and 150°C, doing work. Heat losses from the system to the surroundings are estimated to be 2 kJ during this process. Assuming the surroundings to be at T0 = 25°C and P0 = 100 kPa, determine the exergy of the steam at the initial and the final states.
A 0.6-m3 rigid tank is filled with saturated liquid water at 135°C. A valve at the bottom of the tank is now opened, and one-half of the total mass is withdrawn from the tank in liquid form. Heat is transferred to water from a source of 210°C so that the temperature in the tank remains constant. Determine the reversible work and exergy destruction for this process. Assume the surroundings to be at 25°C and 100 kPa.
