A vertical, insulated piston cylinder is filled with saturated liquid H2O at 50 kPa. A stirrer moves rapidly inside the cylinder until 22% of the H2O (by mass) evaporates. Determine the net work done (in kJ/kg), the change in entropy during this process (in kJ/kg-K) and the entropy generated during this process (in kJ/kg-K).

Air in a piston-cylinder device undergoes an isobaric expansion process from 280 K and 245 kPa to 880 K. This is achieved by adding heat to the system under quasi-equilibrium conditions. What is the work done by the air during this process? (Use the appropriate sign convention.) What is the amount of heat transferred for this process? (Use the appropriate sign convention.) Considering the actual variation in the specific heat of air during the process, what is the change in...

A 0.2 m3 piston-cylinder initially contains 400 K air. A heavy frictionless piston maintains a pressure of 500 kPa abs. Then, a weakness in the cylinder wall blows out and creates a hole. Air escapes through the hole until the piston drops far enough to cover the hole. At that point, the volume is half the initial volume. During this process, 75 kJ of heat is transferred to the 100 kPa, 300 K surroundings. Using Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg-K and...
