Properties of Pure Substances

1. Determine the phase or phases in a system consisting of H2O at the following conditions and
sketch P-v and T-v diagrams showing the location of each state.
a. P = 5 bar, T = 151.9°C
b. P = 5 bar, T = 200°C
c. T = 200°C, P = 2.5 MPa
d. T = 160°C, P = 4.8 bar

2. Water contained in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes in series from initial
state where pressure is 10 bar and the temperature is 400°C.
Process 1–2: The water is cooled as it is compressed at a constant pressure of 10 bar to
the saturated vapour state.
Process 2–3: The water is cooled at constant volume to 150°C.
Sketch both process on T-v and P-v diagrams.

3. The following table lists temperatures and specific volumes of water vapour at two pressures:

P = 1.0 MPa P = 1.5 MPa


T (°C) v (m3/kg) T (°C) v (m3/kg)
200 0.2060 200 0.1325
240 0.2275 240 0.1483
280 0.2480 280 0.1627
Using the data provided, estimate
a. The specific volume at T = 240 °C, P = 1.25 MPa, in m3/kg.

c. The specific volume at T = 220°C, P = 1.4 Mpa, in m3/kg.

4. A closed, rigid container of volume of 0.5 m3 is placed on


a hot plate. Initially, the container holds a two-phase
mixture of saturated liquid water and saturated water
vapour at P1 = 1 bar with a quality of 0.5. After heating,
the pressure in the container is P2 = 1.5 bar. Indicate the
initial and final states on a T-v diagram. Determine
a. The temperature, in °C at states 1 and 2.

c. If heating continues, determine the pressure, in bar, when the container holds only
saturated vapour.

8. A closed vessel with a volume of 0.054 m3 contains 2.27 kg of Refrigerant 134a. A pressure
sensor in the tank wall reads 492.22 kPa (gage). If the atmospheric pressure is 99.3 kPa, what is
the temperature of the refrigerant, in °C?

9. A two-phase liquid-vapor mixture of a substance has a pressure of 150 bar and occupies a
volume of 0.2 m3. The masses of saturated liquid and vapour present are 3.8 kg and 4.2 kg,
respectively. Determine the specific volume of the mixture, in m3/kg.

10. Water is contained in a closed, rigid, 0.2 m3 tank at an initial pressure of 5 bar and a quality of
50%. Heat transfer occurs until the tank contains only saturated vapor. Determine the final mass
of the vapor in the tank, in kg and the final pressure in bar.
