Question

A piston cylinder assembly (volume = 0.71 m^3) contains superheated water vapor under 3.0 bar of pressure at a temperature of 200 degree C. Given the parameters in the diagram illustrated, determine the: Instantaneously, a new force is applied while letting the system reject heat. The final state is now a compressed liquid under 50 bar of pressure at a temperature of 100 degree C. Calculate the: The piston and cylinder arc poor conductors and there is negligible friction between them Show all calculations and unit conversions otherwise no points will be given.

Explanation / Answer

a) Mass of the water vapor is given as

n = m / W

m = nW

m = Required mass of water vapor , n = number of moles , W = molecular weight of water vapor

As molecular weight of water vapor is constant = 18g / mol

Number of moles will be found by using ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

n = PV / RT

n =( 300000 pa) (0.71m3) /( 8.13 J / mol K)(473K) 1bar = 100000pa

n = 55.38mol

Now the mass of water will be

m = nW = (55.38mol) (18g/mol) = 997.01 g

m = o.997kg

b) Applied force would be the given as

F = PA = (101325pa) (1.1)(10-2)2 = 11.14N

c) Again using ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

n = PV / RT
   n = (5000000) (0.71) /( 8.13) (373)

n = 1170 mol

m = nW = (1170mol) (18 g / mol) = 21071g = 21.07 kg

d) The final volume would be found by using BOyles law

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

V2 = P1V1 T2 / P2T1

= (300000) (0.71)(373) / (5000000)(473)

= 0.033 m3

e) Now the pressure applied is given as

P = 5000000pa

F = P A =( 5000000) (1.1)(10-4) = 550N

f) The distance the piston cover would be

W = F. d

d = F / W

d = 550 / PV

d = 550 / (5000000)(0.0033)

d = 0.0333 m

The heat transfer would be equal to

Q = m Cv dT

Q =( 21.07kg)(1.996KJ / kg K) ( 100-200)

Q = o.42kJ
